NovaNET-WEB 10 Beta 2 Released!

[xxan0xx]

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to let you guys be part of the company I work for most recent release of our NovaNET-WEB 10 Beta 2 application. This is a comparable product to the of Mozy Pro, EVault, Symantec Protection Network, but includes the full functionality of our NovaBACKUP 10 product as well as having the ability to host your own "Backup Server" to house your backups. One of the biggest features that the NovaNET-WEB data mover provides is incremental differencing method that we use that is called FastBIT which basically determines the bit level changes between file revisions and that is all is sent to the backup server. The backup server handles all of the file restore patching logic so it darastically reduces the footprint of your backup storage requirements

Here are the release notes for the beta build

We are looking for some outside input for our beta version of NovaNET-WEB. This is the first time that NovaNET-WEB and NovaBACKUP have been integrated into the same product. Here are are the downloads for the server and the client:

Server: http://www.novastor.com/pub/secret/BETA/NovaNet-Web/NovaNet-WebBackupServer.exe

'Client': http://www.novastor.com/pub/secret/BETA/NovaNet-Web/Setup-NB-Premium-10.2.43547.exe


Let me know what you think and if you have any opinions on what you think would make things better or make it easier to use.

Any idea when the Server 2008 issues will be resolved? Also, when will there be support for single-item exchange 2007 backups?

The Windows 2008 issues are part of the General Public release requirements. I will update this thread as we address the Windows 2008 issues to keep you in the loop in where we are at.

Exchange Brick Level backup capability isn't going to make the General Public release in version 10. The one thing that I know is going to be implemented is to be able to fully utilize the Exchange Recovery Store properly so you will no longer have to go through the extra steps of taking your production Exchange environment offline to recover a single mailbox as you will be able to do this through the Recovery Store. This also keeps intact Exchange's Single Instance storage which keeps the footprint of you Exchange backup minimal, from the initial research that I have done personally when you start going into Brick Level backup it can increase your backup footprint to upwards of 3x the storage space.

xxan0xx,

I'm currently using NovaNet-WEB 7 and have wanted to try the new beta release ever since word broke out that it was in development.

The client link that you've provided appears to be NovaBackup rather than a NovaNet-WEB client. Is NovaBackup now supported to connect to a NovaNet-WEB server or was this just a mistake?

Thanks much.
