Beta: Continuous Usage Notifications
Receive weekly email alerts detailing how much cloud storage is in use and how many agents are connected, so you instantly know your current total usage.
This feature is currently in beta and only available to our beta customers. If you'd like to join our beta program and get early access to new features, please send an email to beta@novabackup.com.
Improved Visibility and Account Management
Instantly see which agents are connected to each Cloud Storage Account and how much data each agent is using.
Free up cloud storage by deleting all cloud data stored in a specific Cloud Storage Account at once.
Added the ability to export the Agents and Groups list to CSV or XLSX.
Simplified Agent Deployment
We eliminated and consolidated several steps in the backup agent deployment process that have caused friction in the past.
It is now much easier for Managed Service Providers to deploy and register the client installation because you no longer need to add a "Cloud Storage" device in the Central Management to activate the agent. Instead, when the agent is added to the appropriate group, it inherits everything it needs for the activation directly from your account.
Local Backups
NovaBACKUP Managed Backup now takes full advantage of the new backup engine (already available for backups to the cloud) for backups to local storage devices such as NAS, USB, etc.
This means that you can create and edit local devices from the Central Management and create and edit backup jobs targeting these devices.
Restore View
NovaBACKUP's updated Restore View displays all past backups by device, sorted by job name. When drilling down to the desired restore point, the Restore View highlights everything that is available in a folder, for example, across all existing backup jobs, allowing users to restore everything from a single view instead of restoring each full and incremental backup individually.
Cloud Storage
Cloud storage is now always included with NovaBACKUP PC Agent and NovaBACKUP Server Agent.
Backup and Restore Speed
Various improvements to backup and restore speed, including an updated UI framework, optimized backup retention algorithm and scanning method.
Cleaned-Up Log Files
We have cleaned up the backup log files to show more relevant information about the backup job, such as what was backed up where, what problems were encountered, and more.
Incremental Forever Backup
Incremental Forever Backup describes a single backup job that schedules the initial set of files and folders and ongoing changes. To improve backup reliability, NovaBACKUP no longer relies on the archive bit of a file or folder to determine what needs to be backed up. Instead, it looks at the attributes of the objects that have changed, such as the date of the last update or the size of the file, and compares them to what has already been backed up.
You can find more details in our blog post.
Rotating Media
NovaBACKUP writes a complete version of the backup to each medium to ensure that reliable backups are stored on each medium. Subsequent backups contain only the data that has changed since the last backup to that device.
End of support for single tape drives (LTO).
The latest version will no longer support 32-bit operating systems.
