NovaStor Unveils the Complete Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Solution:
NovaBACKUP(R) 10
New Version Enables Local and Online Data Protection Coupled with Image-Based
Disaster Recovery

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- NovaStor, a leading provider
of software solutions for data availability and protection, today announced
the availability of NovaBACKUP 10, the latest version of its flagship
NovaBACKUP data protection and disaster recovery software for Windows-based
PCs and Servers. This latest version empowers users with the choice to create
backups and store data locally or online, and even includes a free one-year
online storage account. Previous versions only supported local backup to hard
drives, tape drives, CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc burners, and network attached storage
(NAS) devices; the new release enables online backup capabilities via FTP to
corporate servers or to other online storage services. NovaBACKUP 10 is the
first all-in-one solution from a major data protection software provider to
offer this level of flexibility in protecting users' critical information
wherever they are, to virtually any backup device, simply and reliably.
Features new to NovaBACKUP 10 include disk image recovery, which takes a
snapshot of the entire system to protect and preserve data in the event of a
disaster allowing recovery from a local or network source; and the ability to
backup, copy or mirror data to FTP or online storage accounts offered by
NovaStor, Amazon's S3, and others to be added soon.
"Most data protection applications limit users to backing up to local
backup devices and force them to use proprietary backup technology," said Mike
Andrews, Managing Director of NovaStor. "NovaBACKUP 10 enables users with the
freedom to choose not only whether to backup locally or online, but also the
flexibility to backup in the format that best suits the user's needs."
"Managing a local backup and an online backup service can be
time-consuming and frustrating for many computer users," said Wolfgang
Schlichting, Research Director for Removable Storage at IDC. "Solutions like
NovaStor's NovaBACKUP 10 address this challenge by combining both backup
methodologies into one software package. This strategy offers users more
flexibility and peace of mind by creating on-premise backups for quick file
restores and off-premise backups of critical files in the case of a
catastrophe that wipes out the computer and the local backup."
