If you need central management of multiple exchange server backup, BEN is your friend.

A few months ago we added a product to our lineup called NovaBACKUP Business Essentials Network. Around here we call it BEN. And we joke a little bit that "BEN is your friend!" Of course, we in sales love it because it gives us something new and exciting to talk about and it truly boosts our competitive advantage in value… plus it genuinely satisfies so many of our customer’s needs for a turn-key multiple server backup solution. And now, even better, we hear that our customers love it for the same value reasons, but also for the performance and ease of use. BEN is everyone’s friend.

And that’s before you add Universal Restore which is standard with BEN. NovaBACKUP Business Essentials Network is coming in for just $1499. You can add more workstations or servers and when you purchase with the BEN package, the NovaCare Premium Support comes with at no extra charge.

New NovaBACKUP v13.1 is Faster and Fitter Backup Software.

By Scott Mullen, Director Online Sales at NovaStor.com

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games are only one week away. We at NovaStor are excited to enjoy the show of speed, skill, strength and fitness on the worldwide stage. It’s also perfect time to roll out our newest version of backup and restore software. Our application is now faster than ever... and fitter too... and ready to defend our TopTenReviews #1 Gold Medal.

I have been at NovaStor for about 3 years now, and this is the most exciting release I can remember. We’ve always prided ourselves on the quality of our products and each new release has been something special. But in this case, version 13.1, released on Tuesday July 17th , is truly a huge step forward.

A key benefit for v13.1 is time savings... huge time savings actually. We’ve conducted in house tests with same systems and have seen 5 times speed improvements! There’s better use of compression and also we now take advantage of multi-core processing. It’s possible for the speed improvements to be even more dramatic depending on the processor. We’ve been receiving comments already from customers indicating huge wins for our product in terms of backup speeds when compared with competitive software... even against competitive backup solutions costing much more. Plus, we’ve added new data retention features. Robust controls now allow the user to set the number of backups retained, size, space and efficiency of your data storage files.

There are many other great things about 13.1 and about version 13 in general. Soon one of my associates here will post his experience with the new disaster recovery/imaging portion of NovaBACKUP. Not only is this essential for disaster protection, but he has a case of migrating his entire laptop environment to a completely dissimilar desktop in less than 30 minutes (all programs, operating system, files … everything included) It really was quite impressive.

Enjoy the competition in London. And be sure to check out the speed and competitive advantages of our new backup software. We offer solutions for single PC backup to windows server backup to SQL/Exchange Server backup. You can compare the versions and take a trial here.

Outperforming the competition by wider and wider margins, NovaBACKUP is the smart choice for backup and restoration of your important data.

It’s faster, fitter, and better than ever.

See NovaStor at HostingCon 2012

by Mike Andrews, Managing Director

We’re a few hours away from the beginning of HostingCon, the industry’s largest event for hosting providers running from July 16th to 18th. NovaStor will be exhibiting at booth #708 and we are using this opportunity to learn from the market exactly what it is that they need when it comes to data protection that would help differentiate them from the rest of the market. Two solutions will be on display at the NovaStor booth. NovaBACKUP xSP version 13 is being released Tuesday to coincide with the show. NovaStor will be providing a sneak peek during the show to demonstrate how different performance benchmarks have been increased by as much as 500%. Also NovaBACKUP DataCenter will be demonstrated to provide hosting companies with another revenue generating option by turning enterprise level backup into an affordable SPLA solution that is all feature inclusive, but you only pay for what you use.

NovaStor already has over 30 meetings planned with some of the top players in the industry. NovaStor partners with some of the largest players in the hosting industry today (including Hostway and Fasthosts), but is looking forward to working with some of the smaller more local providers to really gain access to the SMB and corporate communities where NovaStor’s products perform best.

I will be there for the entire show and encourage anyone to visit our booth. NovaStor’s CEO (Stefan Utzinger) and Director of Products (Nathan Fouarge) will also be on hand. This is an opportunity for providers of all sizes to see how NovaStor operates and how we have an open door policy to our top levels of management and ownership.

See you at the show.

Regards, Mike

It's Friday the 13th. Things to do and not to do!

There have been three Friday the 13^ths this year! Next year there is only one and it’s not until September 2013.

So therefore it’s important to observe today with a short list of things to do and not to do on this special day:

NOT TO DO
on Friday the 13^th

Carry large oversize mirrors up stairs by yourself.

Play your favorite “Cross the Path” game with your black cats.

Mess around with very tall ladders and set record for most “walk unders”

Test out that new umbrella inside the house

Dump all salt out on the floor directly in front of you… not over shoulder!

TO DO on Friday the 13^th.(And Everyday)!

Backup all your critical systems, programs, and files with NovaBACKUP!

Hard drive and server failures happen every day, whether it’s just a breakdown - or a completely unexpected disaster. Selecting the correct backup software package is extremely important. Your valuable documents and client files on your server are simply too important to leave unprotected. Can your business survive the loss of important data? Are you prepared to leave your critical files unprotected?

With our award winning software, your files are completely protected and you can rest easy with full peace of mind.

Why not just copy to a hard drive?

Your operating system is not covered, backing up files only will NOT restore your computer

In the case of physical disaster, the best practice is to backup local AND online/offsite

Without scheduled/automated backup, you must remember yourself to take the time to make the copies of your files and/or remember what specifically to backup.

All hard drives eventually will fail. Without best practice techniques, your data is at risk.

Don't risk it to copy and paste! Let NovaBACKUP do it right!
