E-data-SOS Secure Online Backup - A service of Data Storage Corporation

All backup activity gets recorded within detailed logs and users have the option to be notified of any problems so that action can be taken to guarantee file protection.

Enhanced scheduling options have been added to the client software to help automate the backup process. 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.

EdataSOS’s Getting Started Wizard

EdataSOS’s detailed Getting Started Wizardguides the end user through their initial installation in just minutes. Once scheduled, important information is automatically protected and runs in the background with no additional user intervention required.

Product updates are performed silently through an automatic update process activated from Data Storage Corporation’s server eliminating the need for local installations and the potential for any confusion. These updates are released to our clients periodically and are FREE of charge!

NovaNet-WEB supplies useful toolbars for users. The toolbars can be customized and displayed based on the users individual preference to quickly access commonly used functions.

File Filters

Including or excluding files from the backup selection is possible with set filters that can be created manually or with an easy-to-use filter wizard. 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. Filters can easily be shared with any other users.

The NovaNet-WEB Client now supports a Silent mode that will allow the program to run silently in the background without displaying any Windows or Task Bar icons.

All NovaNet-WEB users have instant access to restore any version of their data files. 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.

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. f 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.

NovaNet-WEB features the ability to create an unlimited number of backup sets. Since backup sets can be scheduled to run independently, a user can configure multiple backup sets to run at 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.

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.

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.

Upon installation, a small application is configured to run in your Windows System Tray. (The Windows System Tray is located at the bottom right-hand corner of your computer screen.) 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...

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.
