Novosoft Soon to Release Initial Backup Seeding

Novosoft
LLC announced that they will be offering an option of initial
backup seeding, as a part of their online backup service.

The seeding process will be based on
sending an initial copy of HDD data to Novosoft’s storage center, and
then using online backup to safeguard subsequent changes.

"Transferring a full drive
backup to an online server can take several days or even weeks to get
completed, and our users frequently ask if it can be made in a more
convenient form." said Nataly Sigaeva, head of Novosoft
marketing department. "The new feature of initial backup
seeding will completely change the experience of offsite backups.
Instead of copying so much data over the Internet, our customers will
be able to create a local snapshot of their drives, physically send
it to our storage, and then enjoy the power and simplicity of online
incremental backups provided by our service."

The service will offer two scenarios
for seeding backups. Existing users of Handy Backup and Novosoft
Remote Backup Service will be able to send their backup drives to the
company’s storage center, by any postal service. New customers will
be shipped a special hard drive containing all the necessary
instructions and the related software.

"We are close to final
agreements with our partners in North America, and actively
discussing opportunities with hosting providers in Europe and other
parts of the world. These new partnership activities look very
promising, and we believe that the result will be greatly appreciated
by all of our users. The service is due to launch
in spring 2013," added Sigaeva.
