Under test, NovaBACKUP Professional 16.1 took 31 min 17 sec to backup a 50 GB uncompressed basket of files to an eSATA hard drive, producing an archive of 48.2 GB.

Rather than using a small linux installation and creating the disk automatically from within the program, you run the Recovery wizard, then have to download and install Microsoft's Assessment and Deployment Kit, before burning a DVD or saving to USB drive with it and your chosen system backup. The program can produce a rescue boot disk, but the process is convoluted. Although the schedule panel offers a Count control, this specifies the minimum number of backups to maintain, not the maximum. The scheduler is reasonably comprehensive, although you can only limit the total size of stored backups by specifying an age – for example, nothing over a month old. Similarly, files can be restored selectively. If you prefer to work from the main screen, you can use the Backup tab to display and select individual folders or files for backup and customise just the items you want to secure. There's also a schedule, if you should want to apply one, and a summary display before you start the job. The backup wizard is particularly easy to use, as it goes through, in order, the type of operation you want to setup, the type of backup (file, system or cloud), the source and destination of the backup. The Home screen shows lists of recent backups and the next scheduled job, both of which are useful, but most of the screen is taken up by three large icons leading to the main backup, restore and cloud storage wizards. Eight tabs along the top cover the main areas of the program and their corresponding screens have different layouts, depending on function. The main control screen is neat and uncluttered.
We'd suggest that 5 GB in a backup application should be a minimum on a single-PC licence, with more on a three-PC purchase. This is probably because NovaStor uses third-party storage providers: FirstBackup in the US or Sitaas in Germany. Novastor offers online storage for your backups, but this is little more than a token gesture, with just 2 GB included with the package. It also includes a scheduler, wizards for easy setup and a copy utility, which can also be scheduled. This product covers both file and system backup – NovaStor calls system backup Disaster Recovery – which saves the whole disk contents.

Acronis may be the best known name in Windows PC backup software, but as you move into the corporate and enterprise arenas, NovaStor is probably the bigger player.
