» I have not been able to identify a backup utility software that works as well as NovaStor's NovaBackup. The flexibility and speed of this product is so far untouchable. Using NovaStor's Disk-to-Disk backup software and my removable KanguruDisk, I'm backing up over 1.3GBs per minute!! Think about it. Let's see someone beat that. «

Don Brown - President/CEO - Kanguru Solutions

» Thanks...You guys are GREAT! «

» Best Backup Software Package I tested. This software works! It does backups, copies, and mirrors. I had to access my external drive from my laptop after my main business computer developed a software problem. All my Nova backups were there and worked. It is easy to use and follows the Windows Explorer format.

I had left a message on their customer support voice mail on a Sunday. They called me as soon as they opened on Monday. They stayed on the line 30 minutes with me - they answered all questions and walked me through ALL features of the product.

Matt Ammon - Main Street Solutions

» This is the best program I've ever used. Better than Veritas. Far SUPERIOR to Newtech (NTI). «

John Christman

» I just wanted to let you know that the more I use NovaBackup Server Edition, the more I'm impressed with it.

One backup activity I tried to do with my client's Backup Exec was to run a second Backup to File, but to a folder on the backup server, which we connect to in the owner's house over a broadband VPN from the office. BE could not do it - period. It always had some issue.

When I tried the same thing with NovaBackup, it's like it said "OK" and went off and did it. No complaints, no delays, just done. We are talking about 29 gigs, compressed here, so we're talking about some serious backup here.

The other eye opener was the horribly long time BE took to restore even a simple small file. I mean it took hours to search through the backup file to find it. NovaBACKUP? I didn't have time to get up to go get a cup of coffee when it said "DONE!"

I am really glad I've become a reseller for NovaBACKUP. I'm even starting to find among my IT friends that it NovaBACKUP is "The dirty little secret" in a number of places. A number of my friends found the "Enterprise" level big buck programs wouldn't do what they needed, or if it could, it needed add ons at addition cost (which the salesman "forgot" to mention) Out of desperation thay tried NovaBACKUP and it did it! One simple package to backup their data, that's all they wanted, and Nova BACKUP gave it too them. Good job! «

Stanton Smith - Bulldog PC Services

» Back in 2001 I purchased a new computer. I wanted a backup program to back up critical data such as Quicken 2002 and other files. It wasn't until today that I had the need to ever restore my data because of DLL errors I was receiving from Quicken. I first went to their web site to read their troubleshooting database. The procedures that they would have put me through would have taken hours of rebuilding the program and restoring the data. Then I remembered that I had your product NovaBACKUP v6.60 and had been using it to backup the complete Quicken directories and subdirectories. I decided to try a restore and once complete the program started without any DLL errors. All I needed to do then was run an update from my bank and I was back in financial business. I just want to say THANK YOU NOVASTOR...! «

The two main reasons for my recommendation were: 1) simplicity of the user interface - my customer is not technically savvy, and 2) speed of backup - for whatever reason, NovaBACKUP was substantially faster than Backup My PC. Other reasons include price, availability, and information on the NovaStor website. I have not had to use NovaStor's product support yet so I cannot comment at this time.

I work with many small business who need a straightforward means for backing up their data and will continue to recommend NovaBACKUP in the future. «

»His receptionist was creating a large client list to do a mass mailing this spring and accidentally deleted approximately 200 client names, address, and phone numbers. Lucky for me we had been doing daily appends and a weekly full backup using the Novastor product. I was able to retrieve the database file from the day before the mishap and restore it for use. I spent a half hour of time getting her file back, where as she would have spent weeks attempting to find white paper with the information and untold hours reloading the data. Novastor, you’re product works GREAT! «

»I purchased the Nova 7 Backup software online and am currently waiting for the Hard Copy to arrive in the mail. The reason that I purchased your product is that it is only one of a few that will do a backup to removeable media, CD, Zip, Hard Drive, Tape, etc. Most of the programs will only backup to a Tape Drive, or will scan your system, and tell you that there are no compatible backup devices available. Your program backed up my system to 23 CDs, and never paused during the process. That is why I purchased it the next day, instead of waiting for the 30 day free trial to expire. I know what is good, when I see it! «

W. M.

I downloaded it for one of my customers, [Omitted for Privacy], and they like it. When the trial ran out, they purchased it. So far, I see it as a great product. Thanks. «

Jim Pollum

» Hello Folks,

I downloaded this product to demonstrate to my client how easy it is to use NovaStor s/w. Unfortunately, the client insisted that they use another product for ease of support. At the end I lost but not without trying!

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

In passing, your technical support has been brilliant in providing me with the answers when I needed them and I hope very much that I can do some more business with you in the future. «

» I recently completed an in depth comparison evaluation of NovaBACKUP 7 comparing it to a number of other well regarded programs: Veritas Backup Exec 9, Retrospect Windows Version 2003, Iomega Backup Suite, Acronis Backup Pro, Stonewall Pro, Stomp Backup, NTI Backup Pro, and Seagate Backup Utilities 2003.

I was really quite surprised to discover that most of the "famous" established backup suites had some serious limitations...and although many could create images for restoration, they could not burn to CD or DVD reliably, although most could backup to tape in a slow or incremental fashion with few errors. Only NovaBACKUP 7 seemed able to backup across networks, NAS servers, disk drives, CD and DVD drives, tape drives and also create error free image files easily and with a minimum of steps and complications.

Although my testing has just recently completed, I have several clients continuing to evaluate NovaStor, and I heartily recommend your product for every range of business and even for the home user who has serious needs for archival storage that is safe, secure and easily done.

I really was impressed, and after all of the years of using these other products, I must say that this is a noteworthy accomplishment. Hats off to your software design team! «

Robert Kirbo

Paul Decoeur

»An excellent backup program. I would not recommend using it on systems with no cd burner, tape drive, or a second hard drive much larger than the original. The backup file is almost as big as the original drive being backed up. A compression utility would be handy to give more space on the drive for those who would want to run it on one drive. «

Steve Phelps

» Yes, I found support to be very polite and knowledgeable. He solved my problems and didn't make me feel like an idiot. I was so impressed that I just finished purchasing [NovaBACKUP]. It is far superior to the higher priced and more complicated version of back up software. It is also speedier too. With support people like Jack you have a winning combination. Now if I could only win one of your draws. : )

» I just wanted to say Thank You for giving me the upgrade to version 7.0. I purchased 6.7 about 3 days before the new upgrade came out and even though I missed the cutoff date, you went the extra mile to give me the upgrade to the next release at no extra charge. This goes a long way with me - customer service like this will keep me a loyal customer. I will also be happy to share this experience with whomever I meet.

»This NovaBackup version 7 beta is the absolute best backup program I have ever used. The thing that impresses me most is the ease at running the program. I really have to let you know, that of all the backup programs I have used in the past 10 years, this is by far the best. I looked for any problems I could possibly find and there were none. It is the easiest backup program I have ever had. It is not complicated and lets you know at all times what it is doing and etc... I really have to take my hat off to you. «

Your program is excellent. However I am evaluating this software for our customers, as an alternative for backup software. I will be recommending our customers to use your product.

» I am a reseller in Colorado and just this past week had the opportunity to recommend your product as a backup solution for an XP Pro station. This application works extremely well and the client and I are both pleased with the product.

This is the first time we have tried your products, but it will not be the last.

The real reason for this e-mail is to find out about compatibility with Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Is there a product in your line up that will do as good for this OS as your backup 6.7 does under XP? If so, how do I get information and pricing, as I was unable to see any reference to it on your web site.

Thanks, «

» I originaly tried out the NovaBackup for another customer who was looking for a solution that was cheaper than what the other backup companies had to offer. Unfortuantely, that person is so cheap, they still think your product is too expensive.

I will continue to offer it to others who are looking for a cheaper yet still reliable solution. «

Paul King

» We downloaded NovaBackup and are so far satisfied with its performance. We were very glad to se that Swedish was supported in the program.

Best regards, «

Ingmari Amoson

» I became interested in NovaBACKUP because I absolutely hated NTI Backup NOW! The version of NTI (2.5) that came with my CD-RW offered nice features but it was SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW, packing away a backup at only about 10 MB per minute leading to hours of backing up.

NovaBACKUP was easy to use and very fast. I experimented with the trial version on several computers with differing OS's from win95, Win98SE and WinME. It gave good performance at much higher data rates than the NTI product.

NovaBACKUP appears to be the best of the three backup programs I have sampled.

I am dismayed by the poor status of backup software for CD/RW media. Truly amazed. And, NovaBACKUP shows clearly that it can be done, and done in a way that is so easy for the user to implement on the first time, with no obscure fiddling or insider knowledge about clearing the task bar or some other "thing" that stops the software from working well. «

Jim Buch

» Hi

I did an upgrade of my old faithful NT box to 2000 and suddenly thought ... oops! Backups!

NTbackup was clunky but it worked AOK from a scheduled batch file.

2000's backup, on the other hand, is rubbish - and did not work with my tape drive / SCSI card combination. (It just hung).

So I went hunting. CA, Veritas .. the usual places. The prices! Ridiculous!

Thank you for providing an affordable solution! «

Dale Shaw (MCT/MCSE/MCSD/MCDBA/MCNE/CNI), Owner of a 2 person development company, Auckland, New Zealand

»Easy no-hassle software, does what you expect it to do, and reasonably fast. Much simpler to use than most other solutions I've tried, with no discernible loss of features. When I get my hands on a trustworthy tape-system I'll definately buy myself a license to use it! «

Lars Angus Lyons

» Thanks guys! I have downloaded the upgrade to 6.7. I replaced the motherboard on 23 Aug 2002 plugged everything in and thought "no problem" - Wrong! Three days and dreams of blue screens later I ran the backup I had created and everything returned to normal.

Thank you for your program and your assistance «

I just could not get them to talk, despite the fact that Windows successfully detected the tape device. So, I did some internet research and stumbled onto your product. I downloaded the trial version, installed it and it immediately worked! No fuss at all, just as promised. I tested the trial version on Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. It worked every time.

Thanks NovaStor! «

» It was great being able to try an evaluation version of NovaBackup, and we subsequently bought a copy from a UK distributor.

We are very happy with the performance of the program. InstantRecovery is also an excellent component of the package.

One question: having bought a copy in the UK and registered via your web site, are updates available for download? < yes! > «

S. C.

» I'm a registered user of your QIC backup software. Some time ago I emailed you telling you that in my humble opinion your software was the absolute greatest. Well, my opinion has not changed. It just hums along without an error, and my old HP QIC drive has never been happier.

I recently had to reformat and reinstall the OS on the machine your software was on, and another reason for me to love your product is that it uninstalled absolutely clean. No lingering reg entries, files or junk. What a lovely piece of code writing.

It's back on the new install, doing fine and playing nice wtih the other apps.

Just wanted to again let you know that in this age of bloated, sluggish fatware, your products are sleek and efficient. Keep up the most excellent work. «

Danny Biando

» I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT NOVASTOR BACKUP AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. IT IS REAL EASY TO USE. I JUST PROGRAM IT TO BACKUP ONCE A WEEK AND THAT IS JUST ABOUT IT. WHEN I GET ENOUGH TO PUT ON A DISC, I MAKE A COPY, AND THAT IS IT.

THANKS. «

BOB

» I installed your handy backup on an NT4 Server for a client (omitted) and it's working well. He purchased the product about a week ago, and I registered it online for him. I must say it's a nice low cost backup system that's easy for normal end-users to operate.

Keep up the good work.

Best Regards, «

G. Starman

» I've used NovaBack for many years and have stuck with it despite other back-up programmes I've tried...Its the only one I've thus far which will allow me to back up to another hard drive as well as removeable media.

Thanks again,

Joseph Blankier

» OK Guys, I have no problem, thanks to you !

I run a Windows XP Home Edition system and I'm organized with a periodic InstantRecovery Image and not frequent enough NovaDisk backups for my personal files.

Well, with all the predictability of Microsoft, a standard MS Office component trampled all over the Operating System so that the m/c was just not usable. No problem, I restored from my IR disks and then ran a restore from my latest Novadisk backup. Everything worked fine.

Thanks to Microsoft (Whose System Recovery just doesn't work) I could have lost three months work. Thanks to you I only lost three days and that was my own fault for not taking my backups frequently enough.

I just thought you might like some good news for a change.

Best Regards «

Brent Wherry

» Good morning. Let me first say that I think you have a first rate product. Installs, configures, and functions very well. NovaBackup - Workstation Edition does exactly as you state on your web site. I would highly recommend this product to others.

My main reason for purchasing this product is compatibility with my SCSI tape drive. I have had many tape drives of different capacities over the years. As my local hard drives have become quite large and I have the ability now to keep all my data loca l without having to "archive" it to another media, I have needed to go to a bigger tape drive. My current tape drive is a Quantum 4000 DLT. Using DLTtape IV's, I can backup 20 GB uncompressed. Plus, with your software, I can turn on compression and get more data on a single tape.

Speed is excellent and the software does not "drain" system resources. I can start a backup or restore job, minimize it, and still use the computer to do my work while the job is processing. This is important to me.

Your software handles configuring jobs, scheduling, and restoring in a very orderly and straightforward way.

Great product. And the price is perfect. Good job
Regards, «

J. L.

» NovaBackup+SCSI - Very easy to use, quite intuitive software. The only thing missing appears to be a quick format function, which is a godsend when using a 70GB DLT drive, as a full format takes a couple of hours. However, this is counterbalanced by the fact that it is usable in a good variety of Operating Systems. Very few backup applications allow installation on Windows 98. «

Campbell McMillan

» I have found the software to be great for some of my small business owners. I have since purchased several copies from my supplier. Thanks for the demo «

Keith Goodwin

» I am a registered user of your backup software, and I just wanted to tell you how much I like it. In this age of bloated, sluggish and under performing applications, your product shines. It is a pleasure to use, magnificently written and problem free.

It's on my short list of "must have" software.

Thanks for the excellent product. «

Danny Biando

» After trying many backup programs I had to admit that Nova has done a great work. The backup time is much less than any other program. Easy to setup doesn't take time at all (of course you need basic knowledge of rights on windows 2000).

The restore procedure is very easy, take couple of click and your files are back to their place.

Keep up the good work«

Patrick Chkaiban

» I am very impressed with how easy it is to use, I will definitely be signing up once the free trial is finished. Congratulations on creating an easy to use, trouble free product which does exactly what it claims to do! «

» Great program! It does exactly what I wanted it to do in a way that I understand. I was looking for something like the old Windows 95 backup program. This was it. We purchased the workstation version.

Thanks for creating NovaStor! «

» Gentlemen,

I recently acquired a used Sony SDT 4000 which I am running with WIN98. I had it completely refurbished but although it worked on the bench at the shop it didn't work in my PC.

The shop was running an old version of dos based Novabackup. After trying all options, I tried your Novabackup demo and lo and behold, it worked.

In my search for drivers, I checked out a web site "www.driverguide.com". There were many people looking for Sony DDS device drivers from DDS 1 to 4. I suspect your product would also solve their issues and strongly recommend you post a banner ad on their home page. (there were many many postings for non Sony brands as well.)

I had tried MSbackup and Backup exec, which are essentially the same thing. Neither worked.

I have since ordered your full version. Thanks for a good product and your follow through.

Cheers,«

» The software is great-- the best I've used. «

» The product works fine for backing up the NT servers we build and ship to our customers. The software was easy to use and install and I look forward to buying and using the software in the near future. «

J. P.

» I really like that I was able to download the full version of the product to really determine if it was what I needed and could use. Also I like that I could pay the registration fees over the internet and enter a code to unlock the trial period.

One of the reasons I went with your product is because of the cost. Other manufacturers want to charge in excess of $500 for the same functionality.

NovaBackup server edition was pretty easy to config but I think it could use some work to better define config options and the general flow of the backup config. Other than that I'm very satisfied with the program and glad to say that I have had no unsuccessful backups for the month that I have been using NovaBackup. «

» Hi Novastor team,

I found the NovaBACKUP invaluable when restoring QIX files and even easier to back personal files both on Optical as well as Zip drives. It's really easy to use and to the untrained eye, especially difficult to deal with.

Well done team. «

Kevin Shaw

» As always NovaBACKUP is working fast, reliable and consistent. All I can say is "Compliment, compliment!!!" «

Henk Lutgerink

» I checked NovaBackup Demo. It's much more convenient than Ditto software. Found parallel port drive immediately. Works great. Contacted reseller in Germany for quotation.

You've done a good job. «

Axel

»Your product was great...lasted longer than the tape drive unfortunately. «

Reid

»Thanks for letting me download NovaBACKUP. I have now recommended it to several of my clients. It appears to be a great product. I will indeed continue to recommend it. «

Steve Perry

» Hi there,

Not sure if this reply will reach anyone but you may be interested to know that, as a result of the Download mentioned in the Note I am replying to, some Novastor software was purchased and implemented on a 'Special Build' that my colleagues were assembling for our client.

They were having considerable difficulty getting the normal Backup software used by that client (ArcServe and something from Veritas) to perform the Backups they had been asked for.

As I use NovaStor to preserve the important development info. on my Laptop(s) I suggested that it might do the job they wanted.

Literally within minutes of the download being completed, it was installed, configured, and doing exactly what they wanted - they were very impressed!

They went on to purchase, I believe through a UK supplier, and deliver the system to our client.

» To whom it may concern:

I downloaded a trial copy of your software for one of my customers that was having trouble with their daily backup. Your software seems to be one of the easiest user friendly backup programs and after a two week trial, they are already planning on registering it. I would like to continue to recommend your product and was curious if you could add me to a mailing list for any updated products and well as pricesheets or if it has to web only. I don't always have the time to get on the web and look.

I was also curious if you had any backup software geared towards backing up to CDRs, as this would be geared toward the average desktop user.

Thanks for offering a great product at a reasonable price for our customers. «

M. B.

»This is a great. We are just a dinky business with one NT server and Symantec and Powerquest want to charge us 10 license minimums at $250+. Phooey! «

G. E.

» Dear Sales:

You have a great product and better yet, you have a great company. It's a rare occasion that a company (even though the potential customer is just evaluating their product) will support this new potential customer as NovaStor. You answered all of my e-mails; you returned my phone call; and you even followed up e-mails with further e-mails. I am in sales and have my own company. I sell just as you do. If you keep up this type of service, you should have a successful company. Concerning my order, I assume that you will be sending me NovaBackup 6.6 on CD disk with a manual.

Please advise,
"Energized"

p.s. Thanks again for your excellent service!!!!!!!! «

» I just wanted to let you know that we purchased your product to alleviate a problem we were having with a W2K server that wouldn't backup with our ARC Serve product. Your NovaBackup product was simple to set up and even more simple to use...AND IT WORKED. Then of course there was our other main concern, price. Your product was also inexpensive and I didn't have to go through a bunch of paperwork just to get this one server backed up. We have since moved to a new enterprise backup software to backup our Unix servers, Netware servers, and W2K servers. But, I will keep your software on my primary server in case I ever need it again.

Thanks for helping, «

» Downloaded the demo to backup win98 before wiping the drive to install winME fresh. Retrieved needed files from 3 volume cd set created on win98 into winME without any troubles. Great! «

Goober Wilson

» SO FAR YOUR PROGRAM HAS MET OUR NEEDS AND WE WILL BE PURCHASING IT. PLEASE SEND AN INVOICE FOR THE PROGRAM OR REPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT!! «

DOUG

» Very good software. Managed to get my DLT working, so I could back up where all else failed. Will definitely purchase the product and recommend to others.

Excellent price too. «

M. J.

» We finished up the online purchase of NovaBackup on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2001. To date, we have been very pleased with its performance and ease of use. 4 Star Rating by our firm for your software.

Thank you for following up with us. «

C. B.

»Liked the NovaStor product for two reasons. First, it was simple. No difficulty finding my tape drive. Tried the demo on both a SCSI drive and Floppy drive. Flawless performance on both. The second reason was speed. I have used Seagate software in the past. The NovaStor product is so much faster! When I ran my first backup, I found myself checking the tape to prove that it had actually backed things up. It had of course. So... I purchased the product. Works great. «

D. H.

» I discovered NovaStor "tapeBack" during research into a replacement for Hewlett-Packard's aging Colorado and SureStore software. I found it thorough and well documented . Although I am a Technician, I firmly believe a less technically inclined individual could have used this product as successfully as I. Diagnostic aspects of the product were good as was its compatibility with a large number of devices.

NovaStor products are solid as utility software can be. «

M. D.

» Hi
I have now purchased NovaBACKUP Workstation Edition and find it an excellent product. Compared to some of the more expensive backup solutions around, your product is far superior in price, efficiency and functionality. Now I don't have to do rushed manual backups because the win2000 standard backup software didn't run a job as scheduled. Your product handles my Sony SDT10000 SCSI tape drive with ease and I am not having any more troubles with bad 4mm DAT tape reports. Many thanks for making my job easier.

Regards,«

T. C.

»I have put NovaBACKUP full versions into use on 2 different clients here in my area so far. I am very pleased with the program and wondering if you have any type of reseller package. Your software is as good as or better than Backup Exec and way less in cost which is a big plus. Thanks for the great software! «

K. S.

» I installed NovaBACKUP on my 2000 Server four days ago. It took a couple of minutes to install and setup, not bad for a first-time installer. I haven't done anything with it since. Of course I did verify that it is in fact creating a backup on my Jaz.

Super easy, super painless! How hard is that? «

K. T.

»I purchased NovaBackup Workstation Edition. So far I am happy with the product. I needed a third party solution due to HP's not supporting upgrades to their software like when I upgraded to Windows ME. Needless to say I am not too happy with HP. I have used their tape backup products in my last three computers. I stuck with them but they didn't stick with me. I guess that's the way it goes sometimes. «

R. K.

» Ladies and Gentlemen !

I bought the original NovaStor Software for my streamer. The Program is wonderful.

Thanks, «

Rainer Michel

» Thank you for providing a trial operation of your backup program. It is exactly what I was looking for - a straightforward, reliable, easy to use backup program at a fair price. The standard backup provided with Windows 2000 Professional is extremely cumbersome for a single-user installation and too often it aborts completely due to simple, non-critical tape errors.

I was tired of complex procedures and restrictions like "unallocated free media pools", etc. With a single-user workstation, a backup program should allow you to:

<typolist type="1">

select disk drive and directories/files,

insert a tape,

click RUN to back up.

</typolist>

NovaStor is a well-designed, understandable program with plenty of options for a standalone computer.

I plan to buy both NovaBACKUP and your DataSAFE encryption program. «

Don Fitzpatrick

»We do network support for small businesses. I have a client that uses this software and we have found the interface very easy to understand and to direct the client through should there be any changes necessary to their back-up. We have not had to "use" the recovery portion of the software yet but, we did try it and also found it very easy to navigate and pretty thorough in the data recovery. «

Jim Ball

»Love this backup software. Easy to use, including the backup/restore options. «

Rita Palmer

» So far I think it is a great product. I have been looking for something to utilize my Exabyte Eliant 820 drive for some time now and your product fits this qualification nicely. I will be purchasing the full software soon.

Thanks,«

» I have just acquired an old AIWA QIC TD 1600 TR2 with a 3M Travan 800mb minitape and, as it seemed to be in good order I contacted ALLOY AUST who advised me where to download the software. I chose your product and so far it has been 100% successful. It is very user friendly and has operated the AIWA perfectly.

I no doubt will (after the 30 day period) purchase the full Ver 6.6 from the closest dealer in Australia as I will need to back up to CD-R\CD-RW in the near future and the information from your website tells me that it is capable of doing this.

Thanks again for your backup interest, and may I say how informative and efficient your Website is.

Regards,«

B. R.

» We needed a backup system to back up a network of 5 computers to one main server. We searched the market long and without any satisfaction...then we downloaded your trial version of NOVABACKUP and all we were searching for was right there!!

We definitely will purchase the full version soon, thank you for making such an effective and easy to use product!! «

»I have not been able to identify a backup utility software that works as well as NovaStor's NovaBackup. The flexibility and speed of this product is so far untouchable. Using NovaStor's Disk-to-Disk backup software and my removable KanguruDisk, I'm backing up over 1.3GBs per minute!! Think about it. Let's see someone beat that. (de)

»Ich habe NovaBACKUP per Download erworben. Nach einem Serverabsturz musste ich das Programm erneut herunterladen, da ich es nicht anderweitig gespeichert hatte. So konnte ich erstmals auch andere Funktionen als die Datensicherung nutzen, und mich von der guten Qualität Ihres Produktes überzeugen!

Manfred Diehl

» Ich habe NovaBACKUP getestet, bin zufrieden mit dem Produkt und habe es bereits in unser Portfolio aufgenommen. Ich denke, dass NovaBACKUP zu den Anforderungen unserer Kunden, fast ausschließlich kleine bis mittlere Unternehmen, gut passt. Preislich liegen die Produkte so, dass es in die entsprechenden Budgets passt. Die einfache Bedienung ist ein wei
