Specifications

NovaStor NovaBACKUP is the #1 rated PC backup and recovery software for Windows laptops and workstations. It offers top-notch computer backup protection combined with the fastest performance. You can choose between file-level or image-level backups.

You can backup individual files, or your entire hard drive. In addition, file copy lets you make drag-and-drop backups of files and folders, with the option of ignoring duplicates. Also the streamlined Disaster Recovery restores all of your data in the event of a crash.

NovaBACKUP guards your data with military-grade, 256-bit AES encryption so your files stay protected until it’s time to recover them.

Backup your files, images, videos and more to local devices or to the cloud. Now you can also securely backup to popular file sharing services that you already use like Dropbox, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, iDriveSync, SkyDrive and SafeSync.

NovaBACKUP tested 4x faster than the nearest competitor. And you can use automatic scheduling to backup bit-level or incremental changes, in between your full backups – ensuring your data is always protected, without needing to continuously run full backups.

NovaBACKUP PC utilizes new technology which uses multi-threaded I/O process to allow overlapping of file read and write operations for both backup and restore for faster processing, without compromising data integrity.

NovaBACKUP Professional is the choice for home and workstation computers and laptops. Integrated with easy to use wizards and schedulers, backup and data protection has never been this easy or complete.

    • Remove the ability, by default, for new or upgrade installations, to be able to select a legacy device target for normal backup jobs
    • System State backup job create new or edit, if the “System State” object is selected at the top level of the Backup tab UI, causes the backup job when run to fail instantly.
    • If a single “Exclude or Include Wildcard” is utilized, will not process any of the open in use files in the selection; but removing the incl or excl filter allows the open files to backup

    • nsexc.ini (default exclusions config file) should be made to work with Local and Cloud device backups, instead of how the exclusions are hard coded currently (not configurable, coming from engine.exe)
