FastBIT Incremental Backups
|
The most
efficient backup technology available today!
FastBIT technology can accurately extract the
changes that you've made to a file since your last
backup. This efficiency is achieved by using the
powerful FastBIT difference engine to identify and
extract the binary-level differences on two
versions of any file. The technology works on ANY
type of file. On average, FastBIT backups are more
than 6 times smaller and faster than Delta Block
technology used by other companies. That means
NovaNet-WEB requires 1/6 of the bandwidth and
server storage than applications using Delta Block
technology.

|
Multiple Version Restoration |
 |
All NovaNet-WEB
users have instant access to restore any version
of their data files. Due to the technique used in
the FastBIT incremental backups, a tremendous file
history can be stored in a minimal amount of disk
space. Although each incremental backup contains
the small changed portions of the file, the server
software has the capability of recovering any
version of a file from the initial backup to the
last incremental backup and EVERY version in
between |
|
Automatic Online Upgrades |
|
All version
upgrades can be distributed to all end-users
automatically after completing a backup. When new
versions of the client software are available, the
update patches can be placed on the server to
allow client to automatically get updated to the
latest version. All update patches are created
with the same FastBIT technology to reduce
transfer time. Upgrades happen seamlessly without
any user intervention required. |
|
|
Event Manager |
 |
The Event
Manager is provided to alert users of any missed
or failed backups. If a scheduled backup is
missed, the next time the computer is started the
Event Manager will display the missed event and
allow the user to immediately perform the missed
event. This is useful for laptop users that may be
out of the office during a regularly scheduled
backup.
If a
backup fails to complete successfully, the Event
Manager will try the backup again when the
computer is restarted or NovaNet-WEB is executed.
If a backup fails due to a network problem, the
Event Manager will prompt the user to complete the
backup at a later date. |
|
E-mail Notification |
|
The client
software can be configured to send an e-mail to
any user(s) upon any successful backup or a backup
with errors or warnings. A summary of the attempt
is sent in the body of the message and the
complete log file may be attached as an option. |
|
|
Backup Sets |
| |
NovaNet-WEB now features the ability to create an
unlimited amount of backup sets. Since backup sets
can be scheduled to run independently a user can
configure multiple backup sets to run a different
times. For example, a backup set containing all
data files can be configured to run at the end of
each week and another backup set containing a
single database file can be configured to run
multiple times per day. All file versions will
still be immediately available for the user to
restore. |
|
Advanced Encryption |
|
In order to secure every user's data from prying
eyes, all data is stored in an encrypted format
and all communications between the client and
server are encrypted. Users can choose between
DES, Triple-DES and Blowfish encryption
algorithms. The software is available with
exportable levels of encryption for International
customers. |
|
|
|
File Filters |
|
 |
Including or excluding files from the backup
selection is readily available to allow users to
set filters manually or use the filter wizard to
help the novice user. Filters can be created to
include all data files on a users system to avoid
hunting through a hard drive for all of the data
files. If a user or administrator creates a useful
filter, it can easily be shared with any other
users. |
|
Enhanced Scheduling |
|
Enhanced scheduling options have been added to the
client software to help automate the backup
process, ensuring that the user data is backed up
on a regular basis without requiring user
intervention. The new scheduling capabilities
allow users to configure backups at any time,
multiple times per day or even before Windows Shut
Down. Additionally, any third party scheduling
application can be used to run the backup
application by scheduling simple command line
calls to run an automated backup. |
|
|
System Tray Control |
 |
Upon installation, a small application is
configured to run in your Windows System Tray.
This application monitors the scheduling process
and give the end user quick access to a number of
useful functions, including:
-
Backup and Close - Run a backup and then
close the application when finished.
-
Backup and Logoff - Run a backup and
logoff the system when finished.
-
Backup and Shutdown - Run a backup and
shutdown the system when finished.
-
And more...

Log File Review and Printing |
|
All backup and restore transactions are thoroughly
logged on the client and the server applications.
The user can quickly review and print the client
logs from the client application. The server
maintains a Master Log of all general user
activity and records detailed information for each
user to help track usage and aid in technical
support. |
|
|
Configurable 3rd
Party Tools |
| |
NovaNet-WEB supports the ability to run any 3rd
party application(s) before or after a backup or
restore action. For instance NovaNet-WEB can be
configured to run a virus scanner before the
backup and run a defragmentation utility after the
backup. A virus scanner can also be configured to
run after every restore process. |
|
CPU Utilization |
|
Since the FastBIT technology leverages the CPU
power to get the great file reductions, it can be
taxing on the processor. Since some backups are
done while the user is working on the system and
some backups are done after hours when the user is
away, we allow the CPU utilization to be
configured. Users can give the backup application
all the processing power it needs, or make the
backup application subordinate to other tasks. |
|
|
Customizable Toolbars |
|
 |
|
NovaNet-WEB supplies useful toolbars for users to
quickly access commonly used functions. The
toolbars can be customized and displayed based on
the users individual preference. |
