recovery process to ensure the protection and restoration of your critical
business data. With Disaster Recovery options for servers and workstations,
NovaNET™ provides a broad range of recovery options with the capability to fully
recover complete system environments or just a single file.
Scales to Suit Any Environment
Built for businesses with growth in mind, NovaNET™
can scale from a minimal configuration supporting a single server with a locally
attached backup device up to an enterprise environment with multiple domains,
OSs, workstations, servers and storage devices. NovaNET™ employs a building
block architecture centralized around a central Master Server component, and
from this foundation, support for additional servers, workstations, backup
devices and critical applications can be added individually as required.

devices can be located anywhere on the network to suit your personal
requirements and administration of all backups can be controlled from any server,

that best suits the existing or newly planned environment.
