Simi Valley, Ca. — April 4, 2002 — NovaStor Corporation, a leader in backup and disaster recovery software, has just signed an agreement to license its NovaBACKUP software to protect 9500 computers of a large U.S. bank. After extensive testing, NovaStor's desktop backup product was chosen to protect the bank's users in a division responsible for managing over 4 million customers and almost $500 billion dollars.

Although much of today's corporate data exists on protected servers, a significant amount of critical data still resides on the corporate end user desktops and laptops. Many companies focus on server backup solutions and neglect the backup requirements of their desktop and laptop users.

NovaStor provides several solutions designed especially for providing the best backup experience for end users. NovaStor's customer base ranges from simple home users to sophisticated corporations that desire a simple and effective backup solution.

This sale is a testament to NovaBACKUP's reliability and ease of use. When delivering a software solution to a group of 9500 users, flawless operation and minimal technical support is paramount to maximizing the return on investment. The software will be used to backup to a variety of devices ranging from floppy disk to network storage.
