NovaStor’s highly praised “backup for the rest of us” approach offers comfort to those who don’t have time to worry about backup as they grow accustomed to a new operating system environment.

While the Windows 10 upgrade process promises to be seamless, it is always wise to backup important files prior to upgrading to a new operating system to protect against data loss. NovaBACKUP PC allows users to back up their important laptop and workstation files to the storage device of their choice, as well as cloud destinations such as Amazon S3.

“NovaBACKUP integrators and customers can’t afford to wait weeks for their backup vendor to support a new operating system.”, says Mike Andrews, Managing Director at NovaStor. “The fast adoption of new technologies and operating systems is a cornerstone of our strategy for growth. The flexibility of our U.S. based engineering team to rapidly respond to change is something that competitors have had a difficult time trying to duplicate.”

In addition to traditional file-backup, NovaBACKUP also offers complete system Disaster Recovery to restore entire systems complete with applications and operating system. With all server-class products including free remote “Setup Assistance”, new NovaBACKUP customers get initial backup jobs running and achieve data protection from day one.

At a time when a number of aging operating systems are being retired, it’s become increasingly important for software vendors to support the latest technologies. In the case of organizations that are required to meet specific compliance requirements, such as dental and medical practices under the HIPAA security rule, it is an absolute necessity. Providers of technology services to these organizations, as well as all IT integrators, can learn more about NovaStor partnership by visiting the NovaBACKUP website and reviewing the ValueCREATE!
