NovaStor Launches a New Copy Technology and New Product Features for Enhanced Data Security With NovaBACKUP 7.5

Market Wire, September, 2006

NovaStor Software, leading provider of data availability and protection solutions, launches its award-winning NovaBACKUP in version 7.5. The software includes a new Copy & Mirror technology that is also distributed as stand-alone solution. Other new features of 7.5 include an advanced design and a new interface for enhanced data security.

NovaBACKUP 7.5 facilitates data protection for private and business users, whether they are novice or power users. At the heart of NovaBACKUP 7.5 are the new Copy & Mirror technology and an updated user interface for faster access to the powerful features. The new Copy & Mirror functions allow the scheduling of recurring backups to capture incremental changes of critical files and folders. Once the data is safely stored to its backup destination the end user does not require additional proprietary restore software to view or share the contents of their storage device. The technology intuitively supports storage to just about any media device.

NovaBACKUP 7.5 features include

--  Copy & Mirror features provide a quick alternative to traditional data
    solutions without compromising the integrity or security of critical data

--  New look and feel of the graphical user interface for greater ease of
    use

--  Unicode / Double Byte Support for the ability to backup files and
    directories named and composed in non-western languages such as Chinese,
    Japanese, Korean or Greek

--  Powerful filtering functions automating the individual processing of
    selected data with wildcards

--  The "One Button Virus definition update" enables users to protect
    important data from the latest viruses with a single click

--  Support for Open File Backup using Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy
    Service (VSS) ensures comprehensive data protection

--  Support for DVD-R Dual Layer Drives increases the efficiency and
    flexibility of backing up data with NovaBACKUP

--  Support for Quantum Go Vault Drives for greater flexibility
    

Stefan Utzinger, Executive VP Marketing and Technology at NovaStor Software AG, comments the new release, "Not only was NovaBACKUP voted the Best Buy in PC World's August 2006 issue, NovaBACKUP is also the first choice for millions of PC users when it comes to protecting their critical data. Our new copy & mirror technology increases backup performance drastically and facilitates accessing backed up data. The new release ensures that NovaBACKUP keeps tracking new technologies and features, so NovaBACKUP users can continue to rely on an easy-to-use system that ensures data availability."
