Main Feature of the "NovaBACKUP"

A "Super High-Speed" Backup

NovaBACKUP boasts an extremely high-speed backup, which is made possible by applying many of the advanced backup techniques implemented in server backup technologies. The following chart is an image of how fast it works in comparison to other conventional backup software.

 

 

 

 

Restore Backups to different PC’s

There are no limitations on where to restore backups to, and backed up images can be restored to different PC’s other than the ones on which they were backed up on –regardless of the PC manufacturer or any hardware differences. A very reassuring fact for whenever you purchase new PC’s or whenever your hard disk breaks down on you.

 

Supports Windows 8, UEFI Secure Boot

Many of the PC’s with Windows 8 installed use UEFI in place of the BIOS –meaning that the conventional BIOS-based boot CD’s will no longer be supported. In the case of "NovaBACKUP" users need not worry about such things because it fully supports UEFI.

 

Flexible Options allow Backing up Entire PC, or just backing up certain Files and Folders

Taking an entire backup image of the PC (including all OS files) is of course possible, as well as backing up only certain files and folders. For example, you can create a backup image of a new PC and configure / schedule the program to backup any newly created / edited files automatically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Supports both Incremental and Differential Backups

By using the incremental or differential backups for backing up your newly created files, you can rest assured that your backup size will be kept minimal.

 

Retrieve files from Backups without having to recover them

Since the backed up files are handled as a "virtual drive", all the necessary files inside the backups can be retrieved without having to recover the entire backup file.
