Simi Valley, Ca. — November 13, 2003 — NovaStor Corporation, a global provider of backup and disaster recovery solutions, today unveiled version 5 of its NovaNet-WEB online backup software. Version 5 works over any TCP/IP connection and turns an ordinary server into a powerful, fully automated network backup system, providing a single, low-cost backup solution for corporate end users, VARs, ASPs, and ISPs.

NovaNet-WEB 5 provides midrange and large enterprise environments with a reliable, automatic and totally secure solution for backing up business-critical data and confidential information to a network server on a regular basis. It allows remote offices to use FastBIT^TM technology to securely back up data to the central data center every night. It permits mobile users to easily backup data in minutes using encrypted transmissions. And, it enables VARs, ASPs and ISPs to offer customers an automated, secure, off-site backup service.

"When we launched our Backup Service, we knew that secure, reliable data backup was essential for our success," said James Schaffer, CEO of Global DataVault. "NovaNet-WEB 5 gave us the tools and the expertise to successfully run our Web-based backup business."

With a NovaNet-WEB 5 client/server software package, IT professionals can more easily implement and manage backup requirements of different users and departments. It is also a welcomed solution for companies looking to reduce IT costs without endangering data protection and for start-up ASPs and ISPs who require a reliable, low-cost solution.

On the client side, NovaNet-WEB 5 runs on each user's computer to regularly backup important files to the backup server. Features include firewall support; convenient Getting Started Wizard; comprehensive backup scheduling; interactive backup modes; customizable backup sets, file selections and filters; and FastBIT^TM technology for blazing fast backups.

The software also operates the backup server as a service that can easily add, remove or modify backup users; create user data CDs; enforce storage quota limits; support multiple user authentication techniques; eliminate redundant files and configure instant error/warning notifications.
