NovaNET worked great at backing up Windows and Netware files. It was fast and thorough. It even backed up the DOS partition on the Netware servers. I like the backup wizard and backup control panels very much and I've done several full backups and partial restores, ALL without problems. Throughput was excellent because of NovaNET's distributed format (an 'agent' on each server).
With NovaNET, I did not have to mess around with all the TSA problems that plague ArcServe. NovaNET could do multiple jobs from multiple servers to multiple devices. ArcServe6 Enterprise is limited to a single backup server with a single tape device. I like the Backup Wizard and Backup control panels very much. I've done several full backups and partial restores, ALL without problems.

Hi:
Just to let you know that I have converted my demo! Love your software...works as advertised, and is really quite simple to use! I've used lots of different backup packages over the last 18 or so years, and believe it or not, I "found" your software by chance.
While doing a search for backup software to replace ArcServeIT, I found many different links. Your software was the first on the list that backed up to tape. However, once I tried it, I became a fan.
Good job!
And thanks for the opportunity to try it before we bought it.

About to put in an order for [Virtual Tape] for NovaNET 9, it is a
phenomenal piece of software. I love it.

I'm new to Linux so I was concerned about being able to install NovaNET on our Linux server. After downloading your fully functional trial version, typing ./install and following your documentation it was a cakewalk. Wow that was easy. That's what convinced me to get my manager to buy it.

I like it's flexibility between Operating systems on a network. Overall it
seems to work quite well and have recently purchased a copy for one of my
clients through a local supplier. Overall, I find it to be an excellent
product and your downloadable evaluation allowed me to fully evaluate the
product before recommending it to my clients. [...] Overall, a
great backup solution for mixed networks.

I can attest that NovaNET itself is a very good backup solution for NetWare. I've run ArcServe 5-6.6IT, and Backup Exec 7-8.5, and none come close to NovaNET's clean install, speed and elegance. It just works. I'm just thrilled that I can come in to work and not have a crashed server because of a backup product. Plus, NovaNET really does use an autoloader intelligently... I insert the number of tapes my rotation scheme needs, it does the rest. No muss, no fuss. That is the primary reason we switched to NovaNET. One thing is for sure, we will definitely stick with NovaNET until something better comes along (if ever). Backup Exec cannot even utilize an autoloader in a usable fashion, so that's out for us, and ArcServe is so unbelievably unstable that I will never go back to it.

I personally think it is the best backup product available for NetWare!

Faster, cheaper and runs on every platform. ArcServe 6.6 nor Backup Exec 8.5 function correct in a pure IP environment. The software I have been testing and that is functioning correct in a pure IP environment is NovaNET. I have tried it and I'm really impressed by it.

With the release of NovaStor’s NovaNET backup software, NetWare users have access to one of the most advanced data protection (products) available on the market today.

Recovering from a complete failure can be as easy as booting up your system or pushing a single button on your tape drive.

I am surprised at the support & follow-up that NovaNET gives, truly a pleasant change.

NovaStor’s backup software just works. Backups are consistent and restoring
data is very easy. Still, every now and then I have a question. The
clear and thorough manual answers most of them, but if not there is still
the NovaStor support team ready to help.

We're testing NovaNET now and overall it seems to work well. Very easy to set up with the added plus of support for Windows/Linux/NetWare out of the box. I think it's a better solution for small businesses that need reliable backups without a lot of bells & whistles.

I have decided to go with NovaNET. It seems that ArcServe may be more than what I need. I have one server and only certain workstations to back up.
