There are very few failed backups unless there is a hardware issue. It supports Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, Active Directory and Hyper V. Bare metal restores from a boot CD. Everything you need to protect your small to mid size business servers. > > **Cons**: Not much. Does everything we require. ----- ### "Easy, affordable and complete backup solution" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 February 2021* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use and deploy, in case of disaster it's easy to take backup files to another fresh installation of NovaBackup without having to transfer any configurations. Backup speed normal/good, backup compression normal/good (no deduplication), multiple backup schedule options, good speed to recover from backup (faster than deduplication options from other softwares). GREAT for stand alone solution, good panel for virtual machine backup schedule and management (I have used only HyperV version). Backup files may be easily moved/copied at file level incase of need, no need of "export" or difficult backstage tricks. > > **Cons**: I can't set expiration to individual backups nor retention, ie. in the case of virtual (HyperV) machines backup I can set "keep x backups" but if I want to keep one of them for whatever reason I must copy the files somewhere else before the rule deletes it, would like to have a "retain" button. No deduplication (although that's why it's easy to move the backup files and the restoration is faster). Mostly manual clean up of old backups (insufficient auto rules) > > I have NovaBackup and HyperV in the same physical server, with jobs to backs up to a NAS. Easy, clean, efficient, Novastor is the best solution in the price range for this type of solutions. If I had a lot of physical machines, each of them with a lot of virtual machines it would lack a good centralized management. If the first is your use case (not much physical machines) it is probably the best solution and the best price you'll find. ----- ### "Neutral" — 3.0/5 > **Willie** | *11 March 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The backup of my system is total and complete. > > **Cons**: It takes a long time to do a complete backup, 12 hours for a home desktop. > > Disaster recovery. ----- ### "Decent file based backup" — 4.0/5 > **George** | *4 April 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: its reliable, does not require significant attention, communicates on success or failure. > > **Cons**: its a file based backup, not image based. Therefore it is slow to process backups and restoring a single file can be painfully slow. > > Overall a solid product with better than average support. This product would rate much higher by me if the backup was image based and not file based. ----- ### "Small Business Essentials" — 5.0/5 > **Kem** | *4 March 2021* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Scheduled Backup SQL databases with the ability to restore backups onto the recovery server. > > **Cons**: setting up backup jobs and the scheduling is a detached managed function. so If I edit a backup job to change something, and an existing schedule exists, i have to go to schedule to check to see that existence. If I am editing a job and i want to edit the schedule, it is a separate edit > > We have used NovaBackup for quite a while now. The newer versions are faster and more efficient. We are completely replacing another vendors software with NovaBackup on all our servers. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/282922/novabackup-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/282922/novabackup-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
