ATAP Restore

A direct restore is possible offline at any time and any place on the client using only the backup medium and a drive. No central database is required.

Active Clients / Passive Servers

Fault tolerant backup infrastructures can be created

Distributed Metadata Management

Distributed and partially redundant metadata avoids a single point of failure and a scalability and performance bottleneck

Mirrored Data Streams / Inline Copy

Data can be written to two or more mirrored tape drives in parallel, even on separate backup servers in different geographical locations

Offline Copy / Cloning

Single selected backups can be logically copied, even across geographical locations and to different media types. In case of a restore the software will automatically follow these copies.

High-Performance Data Movers

Lean and optimized code as well as high efficient algorithms result in a high data throughput for backup and restore while creating a minimized system load on the clients and the backup servers

High-Performance Multiplexer

Powerfull and efficient data multiplexer can write up to 128 parallel data streams to one drive. And a parallel restore is possible as well.

LANless / Serverless Backup

The client writes directly to the storage media – without going to a backup server. This increases the backup speed and avoids unnecessary network traffic.

Dynamic Drive Sharing

Clients and servers can optionally use a shared pool of tape drives thus optimizing the resource usage

Media Data Encryption Option

Data is encrypted directly on the client. The backup data can only be read by the respective client or the person holding the key.

Granular User Rights Model

The access and views to all system resources (e.g. clients, server, jobs, media pools) and functions (e.g. backup and restore) can be controlled and restricted by a granular user rights model

Protected Audit Log

All operations are optionally logged in an audit log which is protected against manipulation

Enterprise Network & Firewall Support

NovaBACKUP DataCenter needs only few and configurable TCP/IP ports and features a distinct separation of control and data flow, thus supporting complex and firewall protected network infrastructures

Central Management

Simple administration of complex backup and restore processes in the entire network from one central management console. Even across distributed locations.

Image Backup

The block-level backup of a disk drive or a disk partition enables a fast restore of all content

NDMP Backup

The Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) is an open standard for company-wide backups in heterogeneous NAS architectures

Staging

Backing up data to a disk staging area before moving the information to tape enables fast backups and restores. Restore is possible directly from tape or disk - without re-staging.

Disk 2 Disk Backup

Simple high-speed backup to inexpensive disk systems enables fast restore of single files.

Event Notification System

The event notification system is an open interface for the reporting and monitoring of backup and restores events. It enables simple integration into existing system and network management frameworks as well as active reaction of the software to problems

Accounting

NovaBACKUP DataCenter offers integrated accounting functionality for backup and restore jobs and data amounts

Process Integration

Integration of complex pre- and post backup operations
