Select Workstation Backup From A Range Of Products!

DATARECOVERYUNION.COM04 mins

Regular workstation backups are something which should be part of your professional working schedule as this lead to a better business well-being.

NovaBACKUP is an easy to manage backup software from one of the leading manufacturer of computer backup technologies. Being in the backup business for over 15 years.

Here are some of the different alternatives to make a workstation backup for your computer using products from NovaStor.

  • NovaBACKUP for Workstation
  • NovaBACKUP Server Edition
  • NovaNET 10NovaStor Online Backup Service over the Net
  • NovaBACKUP is the main backup solution for windows based computers.

There are different versions. One client backup and one backup version for servers, called Server Edition.

These are easy to use backup solution for a Windows based Workstation.

The main difference between the two versions is that the backup program in the Server Edition works on a service using a special scheduler that runs on Windows XP, 2000, NT server. This can run without any user being logged on. The backup is only performed on the server with the server edition versions. So unless the data from the computer backup is stored on the server over a network another solution is required.

The scheduler for the client computer backup version works as a standard program a user must be logged on for the backup program to work.

Here are ome special consideration for PC backup in Windows XP. For a more complete solution for network based computer from anything from a single workstation, small network, up to a corporate large scale network the NovaNet 10 set of products is an attractive solution. It comes in different versions supporting one of the following network software’s: Linux, Windows and NovelNetware. NovaStor Online Backup Service over the Net. Online backup for a workstation over the net sounds like a joke, but remote storage is now days becoming increasing popular. How about security and backup transfer time? The backup is always encrypted, both during transfer and at the remote storage facility.

The transfer is made incremental with the latest file changes. The transfer is performed with compressed data on the changes only using the latest FastBIT binary patching technology. This is a convenient, secure and cost effective solution for backup.

One advantage is that the data is always locked away at a remote location, so that in case of a fire or theft, the data is locked away safely. The remote backup software which is used is an easy to use even for beginners. The software can be used to set-up backup at regular intervals.
