Features
Our features make your life easy.
Data backup simply has to work. Learn how NovaBACKUP DataCenter 5 automatically assures that your data stays available, even when you forget to do your backup.
Fewer errors, fewer interruptions ...less time spent ensuring data availability
System Reliability
Fault tolerant architecture ensures high data availability: NovaBACKUP
DataCenter’s modular architecture protects all important components by using redundant backup strategies. Restores can be carried out on a client, even if individual components have failed.
Robust Communication
Improved data availability: Backups and restores are possible even if the central database is not available. Simple administration of backup processes from one central management console, even across distributed locations (using WAN).
Support of failover media pools
Less manual intervention, better availability: If a storage medium, local drive or backup server is not available, backups are automatically sent to alternative storage media.
Cluster Support
Less downtime: Support of cluster configuration ensures optimal availability of productive applications.
ATAP Restore
Any Time Any Place Restores: A direct restore is possible offline on the client using only the backup medium and a drive. No central database is required.
High flexibility, better planning...more alternatives for safe data
Disk 2 Disk
Efficient use of storage: Fast, parallel backups and restores to and from inexpensive disk systems.
Disk 2 Disk 2 Tape
Time saving and efficient: Backing up data to a disk staging area before moving the information to tape enables fast backups and restores – without re-staging. Replaces and spares investments for virtual tape libraries.
File System, Raw, Image and Pipe Backup
Unlimited flexibility: NovaBACKUP DataCenter 5 supports the backup method best suited for protecting individual files, whole disk partitions or applications.
Virtual Systems
Optimal use of resources: Flexible Support of physical and virtual server environments without confinements to particular manufacturers.
Logical Cloning
Cost efficient protection if individual backups are lost: Single selected backups can be logically copied to different backup servers and locations.
Synthetic Backups / Incremental Forever
Faster backup, reduced data volumes: Several incremental backups can be used to create a synthetic full backup.
Accounting
Integrated accounting functionality to allow invoicing for data availability as a service: All relevant data is captured and logged. Accounting IDs can be assigned when individual backups are set up for easy and clear allocation of resources.
Better performance, fewer resources...reduced costs for data availability
High Performance Data Movers
Minimized system load: Optimized data compression distributes system load on the clients and the backup servers.
LAN-less / Serverless Backups
Faster backups and restores: The client writes directly to the storage media – without going to a backup server. This increases the backup speed and avoids unnecessary network traffic.
Multiplexer
Optimal use of the fastest tape drive: Powerful and efficient data multiplexer can write up to 128 parallel data streams to one drive. And a parallel restore is possible as well.
Dynamic Tape Drive Sharing
Efficient storage use: Clients and servers can optionally use a shared pool of tape drives thus optimizing the resource usage.
NDMP Support
Storage consolidation: Backup and restore windows are minimized and libraries used efficiently due to client connections via Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP).
Inline Cloning
Low cost protection in case of loss of individual backups: Data can be written to two or more mirrored tape drives in parallel, even on separate backup servers in different geographical locations.
Architecture
Your Plan – our Architecture.
Not everybody wants to buy a castle, or even needs one. We offer you a solid architecture with exactly the features your require.
NovaBACKUP Datacenter’s unique open architecture comprises.
- active backup clients/passive backup servers
- redundant meta-data architecture
- asynchronous communication between central management and backup system
Unlimited scalability
NovaBACKUP DataCenter’s architecture supports easily the central management of heterogeneous IT-environments with several thousands of servers and many Petabytes of information.The speed of the backup and especially of the restore process is neither influenced by the number of administered systems, the number of executed/accomplished backups nor by ongoing backups and restores. The speed only depends on the performance of the clients, on the connection and on the backup device. Thus, continuous and predictable backup and restore periods are guaranteed even when your IT environment is expanding.
Fault tolerant backup solution
This architecture based on active clients and passive backup servers enables the easy setup of fault tolerant backup environments at a competitive price. In case of malfunction/failure a client can automatically at any time access another backup server. As meta data is kept separately the restore ability of the backup is always guaranteed.
Highest restore ability "any time any place" restore
Due to the fact that meta data is kept separately and the specific backup format, a restore of data is possible any time any place even without central management or the backup server which performed the backup. The medium itself (tape, disc) is sufficient. Even in case of failure of components (central management database, backup clients, backup server) the redundancy of meta data ensures a restore and localization of the backup.
