Server, network & cloud backup solution
4.4/5 (9 reviews)Pros
From the world of tape backup, I know that NAS backups don't need to switch tapes while running, so you can rest easy. I receive daily reports of all local and remote backup jobs.
Cons
At regular intervals, backup jobs will not run. The log did not explain the reason in detail. It is helpful to have more detailed logging.
Advice from others considering the product
NovaStor is capable of backing up VMs as well as Exchange and SQL data.
This is ideal for backing up all data files on your workstation to a single computer store. These files can also be selected manually without having to restore each file.
Pros
Easily set up scheduled backups of workstations and servers over the network. This allows you to manage backups of all workstations in one location using a single computer.
Cons
Incremental backup files do not always clear files when backing up redundant files.
Advice from others considering the product
This is an excellent backup system that supports removable storage. It is easy to set up.
Overall a solid product with better than average support. This product would rate much higher by me if the backup was image based and not file based.
Pros
its reliable, does not require significant attention, communicates on success or failure.
Cons
its a file based backup, not image based. Therefore it is slow to process backups and restoring a single file can be painfully slow.
Novastor offers one of the fastest products around for physical and virtual backup. Their support staff was fantastic and helped us install our software free.
Pros
Speed, ease of use, overall stability
Cons
image based DR requires a couple extra steps but nothing major.
this product has never failed me and my firm. All my clients have had a great experience with NovaStor. Even when we have had storage crashes or needed migration, we had confidence in the backups provided by NovaStor.
Pros
The backup jobs were very easy to create, there are copy functions that allow you to re-create jobs for different servers on different days. The jobs run quickly and efficiently overnight and use minimal resources.
It backups my data for safekeeping.
Pros
I like the simplicity of the backup interface and once set up, it is on autopilot. It backups my data every night like clockwork. It provides me with reports when errors occur.
Cons
Once the file is saved, you cannot open it in a directory to see what you have saved. My previous backup software allowed me to review my backup files.
NovaBACKUP is a backup program that we have been using for 8 months now. Users can choose either a backup wizard or manual configuration of setting which I consider very user friendly. For beginners the usage of the Wizard and the definition of the backup sets might be a little bit confusing. But this is something you need to figure out one time and then the usage of the software is easy to manage. There are four different types of backups: Full, Incremental, Differential and "Snap Shot". I think that offering these different types is a very useful feature. One of the advantages that this software offers is the great array of features and options.
Pros
Very reliable program
Online website support
Cons
Some of the settings are confusing for beginners
Easy to use software.
Pros
NovaStor DataCenter is a simple and easy to use software once it has been installed in a PC. One can always learn without much help
Cons
I am always not able to view the directory and see to confirm weather or not my files were saved,
its use is easy, and very reliable
Pros
or the backup of files it is very easy to use, it provides reports when there are errors, In addition we have 4 ways to make our backup: (Complete, Incremental, Differential and Snapshot). These forms can be very useful.
Cons
There are types of configurations that can be confusing, not being able to see the directories to know if it has been saved.
Place the backup in a central location so that both local and remote backups are stored in the same secure location.
