Backup wie für mich gemacht.
What’s new in NovaBACKUP 17.1?
New Features – NovaBACKUP o Windows 10 Support Fixed issues / bugs (17.1.804)
o Fixed an issue relating to Disaster Recovery backups and removable media (RDX / USB) where users would be unable to eject their removable device after executing a DR backup.
o Fixed an issue when backing up files to cloud storage destinations when the file system had 8.3 file names disabled
o Fixed issues relating to incremental backup reporting within Daily / Weekly / Monthly summary reports that would display, “0, or unknown”
o Fixed an issue that would crash NovaBACKUP if a user attempted to change the default temporary folder from the Default Settings window
Known issues
o After creating a Disaster Recovery Boot Image using the “Simple” method, users are unable to write the DR Boot Image to a valid CD/DVD burner. Using the “Advanced” method or writing to USB work as expected.
The issue only relates to writing to a CD/DVD, the image that is created during the “Simple” method is a valid Disaster Recovery Boot Image
Users can choose to use either a USB thumb drive to write the DR Boot Image or use the DRBoot.iso file that is provided during the process as they so choose.

What’s new in NovaBACKUP 17?
New Features – NovaBACKUP o NovaBACKUP Alerts service
It’s now easier than ever to send an e-mail alert with NovaBACKUP. Starting in
NovaBACKUP 17, we’ve included the NovaBACKUP Alerts service. Simply provide your e-mail address and we’ll do the rest – no more messy SMTP settings (unless you want them!) o Daily, Weekly and Monthly Summary Reports
You are now able to configure and e-mail a summarized report of all activities performed by NovaBACKUP in the last day, week or month.
o Updated Log Viewer
The log viewer has been given a facelift and matches the new Summary Reports. It’s also cleaned up the information being presented to help you better understand what happened during your backup job.
The log viewer now also prints out logs that match what’s on screen (HTML log) o Network Devices now in Disaster Recovery / Virtual Dashboard
Pre-configured Network Devices will now be available as an option within a manually executed Disaster Recovery job. Additionally, if you select a network destination for a backup job from the Virtual Dashboard, NovaBACKUP will automatically provide the credentials from the Network Device.
