NovaStor software beat Acronis Back and Restore software hands down….it not only backed up EVERYTHING, but it did it EFFICIENTLY with a ZERO FAILURE RATE and it was faster than your competitors.

Barry M.
Brady Scott

I created several new backup jobs and have them scheduled for automated backup. The biggest benefit to me is having a single place to manage all my backup routines.

Brady Scott, Information Services Manager
Timothy Harvey

Many software manufacturers advertise words like ‘simple, intuitive, and easy-to- use’ but can’t deliver. NovaStor exceeds those words delivering value and quality.

Timothy Harvey, Heritage Equity Group, Inc.
James Kirby

Having redundant on and offsite backup has given us a lot of peace of mind. Not enough can be said for having multiple backups.

James Kirby, CEO | Kirby Wealth Management
Philip J. Michel

NovaStor provides great benefits to partners that we can then pass through to our customers. With NovaStor software, we minimize their investment, without compromising the features they require and the level of risk they need to take.

Philip J. Michel, Reseller | MAC Computer Services LLC
Jesse Liles

I switched over from one of your competitors since it did not work well with my Netgear NAS. Your software is a breeze.

Jesse Liles, Post Production Studio Owner
Alfonso Cartagena

I have totally loved my experience to date with NovaStor. In a day when everyone asks for the Cloud and SAS services, I am happy to deploy a budget friendly solution with a flexible configuration (Cloud, NAS, and/or Local). Thank you for the help and support!

Alfonso Cartagena
David W. Ugloi

Thank you for your courteous and helpful response to my call. I think that your technical support guys have been great to deal with. I give them a 10 out of 10 score.

David W. Ugloi
William Wang

Our business justification for a change of solutions was simply the potential impact of delaying such a change. Our experience with NovaStor and their support has been a positive one.

William Wang, Senior Systems Administrator | Expedia CruiseShipCenters
Carsten Schafflhuber

Backups fit seamlessly into our IT service offering. Since using NovaStor software, we have operated our service at far lower cost than ever before. Even extremely large volumes of data can be backed up reliably in a flash.

Carsten Schafflhuber, Director | SCHAFFLHUBER Digital Medical Excellence
Mark Pontius

We’ve migrated through several backup software solutions…NovaStor is by far the most robust and reliable product we’ve used. It’s fast and easy to use, and the centralized dashboard is a real benefit when you are responsible for as many clients’ backups as we are.

Mark Pontius, CEO | Compass Network Group
Muhammad B.

After creating a bootable USB using NovaBACKUP, the Disaster Recovery restore worked smoothly. My primary drive with data and operating system is now restored. Thanks for great help and support. NovaBACKUP is money well spent.

Muhammad B.
Konnor Gutierrez

The good thing about NovaStor products are they are HIPAA compliant with their encryption and we can backup SQL engines including Eaglesoft SQL, DEXIS and Dentrix. And of course, the biggest draw is that it is reliable.

Konnor Gutierrez, Senior MSP Technician | ManagePoint
Mike Palenchar

SUPER HAPPY THANKS!!! Your NovaBACKUP product works great for me and my business. It’s easy to understand and navigate. I wish I knew about your product before I purchased Acronis…Acronis was a disaster for me and my business and I couldn’t get it to work or find anyone to help me with it. Thanks again!!!

Mike Palenchar, MR Group LLC
RECiPHER Group

NovaStor LITERALLY SAVED us 10+ YEARS! Thank God for NovaBACKUP! If your DATA is important, download NovaBACKUP.

RECiPHER Group
Chris Niewiarowski

We’ve really been impressed by the multiplexing technology in DataCenter, which has essentially cut our backup times in half.

Chris Niewiarowski | Ex'Pression College
Sean Staats

NovaStor support has really impressed us with their dedication in resolving difficult issues. NovaStor support worked with the NAS engineers and helped them uncover a bug in their firmware that was the cause of the failing backups…our backups to the new NAS have now been working without a hitch.

Sean Staats, System Administrator | Gene by Gene, Ltd.
Michael Steeber

I enjoyed having a direct line to NovaStor’s knowledgeable technical support team. Our prior backup software provider had me explain everything to junior team members before connecting me to the people who could solve the issue.

Michael Steeber, Administrator | US Internet
Mike Meinz

NovaStor’s DataCenter has been consistently fast not only when backing up, but also when restoring data. Achieving high performance is important to us. NovaStor provides a software architecture that enables us to continuously reach our ambitious backup performance goals by using our disk and tape storage infrastructure in an optimal manner.

Mike Meinz, Director of IT | General Mills
Patrick Stäheli

NovaStor combines a simple and very benefit-oriented license model, with powerful technology. DataCenter enables us to focus on the excellent services for the guests. Our cooperation with NovaStor is characterized by short response times and customized solutions. NovaStor takes our interests seriously, and we appreciate their reliability as a partner.

Patrick Stäheli, Director of Engineering | Dolder Resort
Martin Meier

NovaStor’s sales and pre-sales team designed the perfect fit for our 200 remote locations. I can manage everything from one central management and don’t need to remote connect to every location.

Martin Meier | Ralph Lauren
Mike Muster

Our license needs vary every week. That is why we needed a flexible pricing. NovaStor was the only backup vendor that helped us to find the perfect volume licensing.

Mike Muster | OTSG
Alfred Jodokus

NovaStor software integrates perfectly into our management system Popcorn Enterprise. NovaStor was the only backup vendor that helped us to find the perfect volume licensing.

Alfred Jodokus | Samsung
Peter Best

NovaStor xSP has gotten better with each version. The new central monitoring console is a very useful tool to improve the way I am able to manage my business.

Peter Best | Founder of DataStor
James Borg

NovaStor is a company that listens. They aren’t just selling a product, they’re asking how they can improve it and working with partners to make it better. NovaStor’s team had everything installed, up and running in just over an hour.

James Borg, Owner | Ditto Offsite Backup
Steve Holford

We need a service that is easy to use and works well. NovaStor xSP does that. After our trials and competitor analysis, NovaStor came out on top. NovaStor understood our needs, and helped us make sure that we had a product that we could take to market for our direct customer base and our reseller customers very quickly and very easily. That’s where NovaStor really pulled through for us.

Steve Holford, Chief Marketing Officer | Fasthosts
Jeff McCarthy

I’ve been very happy with the progression of the product. As the internet has matured and gotten faster, NovaStor has figured out how to make their product perform with the times. Our clients will love the fact that we are able to have that much control and visibility [with the central monitoring console] when it comes to managing their data.

Jeff McCarthy, CEO | FingerLakesWebBackup.com
Peter Fruehman

One of our criteria was that the software had to be at least five years old. We’re also very pleased with the frequency of the updates, and the response times for support requests.

Peter Fruehman | Partner at REIT Technologies
Joseph N. Passalinqua Sr.

NovaBACKUP is a valuable tool that Southern Teknologies uses in protecting our clients data – from nightly backups to complete image restore. Simple yet powerful enough to keep our clients data safe, without a lot of administration

Joseph N. Passalinqua Sr. | Southern Teknologies Group LLC
Scott Mercer

I was impressed with NovaStor’s customer service. I submitted a request for more information and was contacted within 5 minutes. The organizational structure is great. Even though NovaStor’s a major company there’s a small business vibe that we really like, someone’s always available and willing to assist.

Scott Mercer, IT Admin | Jefferson County
Dan Kitchens

NovaStor DataCenter is a light weight client which is necessary for our environment. It offers bare metal restore for disaster recovery. I am able to easily backup our operating system and I can also duplicate that data to offsite locations. Once offsite, I backup disk to disk then replicate it to tape.

Dan Kitchens, IT Director | Hogan & Associates Construction
Mike Meinz

The high speed, scalability and cost of ownership of NovaStor’s products are unique among backup and restore software products and are essential for our daily business.

Mike Meinz, Director of IT | General Mills
Michael Pflugrad from Technically Geek IT

The ability to install a server, and then install the agents on the various computers and have it just work is exactly what I needed. My time is at a premium at the moment, so picking tools that shorten the amount of hands-on AND learning time is very important to me.

Michael Pflugrad from Technically Geek IT
Mike Ritter

We had an influx of technology which increased our virtualization capability and storage space…making two different types of software for backup impractical. We needed a single solution for existing backups and new data. DataCenter provided a single pane of glass, one service, for everything.

Mike Ritter, Head of IT | Womens Center & Shelter
Steve Platek

NovaStor offers all of these features at no additional costs that competitors charge thousands for. It seemed too good to be true. I downloaded it to a VM Server and within minutes I was doing full backups. I drove the software into the ground I threw everything I had at it to see how it would hold up. It was fantastic.

Steve Platek, Owner | UniTECH Communications London
Scott Lehmann

We are value-based company, in terms of NovaStor we found the same thing and the company fit in with how we view our business model.

Scott Lehmann, General Manager
Travis Carter

By partnering with NovaStor we will save hundreds of thousands of dollars and new opportunities gained will be worth millions.

Travis Carter, Co-Founder and VP of Technology | US Internet
Marc-Philip Jamborek

After installing NovaStor DataCenter, the software continues to convince us of its stability and performance every day.

Marc-Philip Jamborek, Technical Director | PHONONET
Andrew Thomas

With NovaStor’s licensing, we’ve got our money back on all of the software and the hardware already and at this point, the more people we get on board the better our margins get.

Andrew Thomas, Technical Services Manager | Fred IT Group
