NovaBACKUP Business Essentials

When you have your Actian PSQL/Zen data on a Windows Server computer, you know that your users are depending on your system to keep running, so that your business-critical applications can keep working for you. When it comes to protecting your data, you simply want the best protection that you can get, without paying an arm and a leg for it.

NovaBACKUP Business Essentials is your backup solution for computers running server-class operating systems, including Windows Server 2012 (and R2), Small Business Server 2011, Windows Server 2016, Server 2019, and Server 2022. Business Essentials includes all of the same features as NovaBACKUP Server, with the addition of agents for SQL Server and Exchange databases, as well as the ability to back up an unlimited number of virtual machines from either Hyper-V or VMWare ESX and vSphere.

This product provides both data backups and full disaster recovery (image-level) backups in one simple-to-use package, and it also includes Universal Restore -- the ability to restore your backups to the same or completely different hardware -- all at no extra cost.

NovaBACKUP Business Essentials is one of the fastest (and least expensive) backup packages around -- and this is why Goldstar Software endorses (and uses) this solution. It supports powerful scheduling, and can leverage pre- and post-backup commands to integrate with the Actian Zen Backup Agent to protect your Zen database files.

You can back up to just about any target, including tape drives, hard disks, network shares, NAS devices, USB devices -- even the Cloud (with the subscription model)!

The base product license includes NovaCare Premium support for one year, which includes full support via Email, telephone, and remote control, as well as product upgrade protection. You can even get initial setup support within 15 days of your purchase. This support is renewable annually, or you can stay on the current version and let support lapse and keep using the perpetual license for as long as you need!

If you prefer a subscription model, you not only save money up front, but this also shifts the cost from a capital expense to an operational expense, which can provide some tax advantages. Further, the subscription model is available with additional options, including cloud storage, a central management console, and more.
