NovaStor Corporation (www.novastor.com) announces the release of their NovaNET 8.5 backup and recovery software for small and medium businesses. This latest release introduces several new enhancements including support for Microsoft Windows XP and Novell NetWare v6.0.

With NovaNET 8.5, businesses with a single server or an entire network of servers and workstations can easily backup their important data everyday to almost any tape backup device.

NovaNET 8.5 continues to compete aggressively in the small and medium business markets by providing maximum functionality in a single product. The NovaNET 8.5 products include remote administration capabilities, 9-slot tape autoloader support and a distributed device architecture that allows backup devices to be located on any number of systems and managed from a central point.

The Alliance Edition of NovaNET 8.5 is one of the only backup products that includes unified support for the latest Windows, NetWare and Linux environments all in a single product.

In addition to enhancements to the core NovaNET 8.5 product, this new release includes new product line additions such as a version specifically for Microsoft Small Business Server and products that work in a Novell NetWare environment with MLA site licensing.

NovaStor offers several additional plug-in modules that can be used with NovaNET 8.5 for more specialized applications and environments. Plug-ins can be purchased for Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server and Cluster Server as well as Plug-ins for disaster recovery, open file backup and support for enhanced tape autoloaders and libraries.
