Press Release Summary: The new version of client-server backup software solution by Novosoft offers more opportunities for corporate data protection.
Press Release Body:
January 22, 2008 - Novosoft LLC announced the release of Handy Backup Server 6.0 - the latest version of its data backup and restore software for small to medium businesses. The new version implements a range of enhancements that enables organizations to execute their data protection strategies much more efficiently by taking full control over data stored on client machines.
With Handy Backup Server 6.0 system administrators can perform image backup not only on server but on all workstations on the network as well. In case of a physical drive failure such approach allows recovering client data as quickly as simply replacing the damaged disk with a new one without reinstalling operating system, applications and drivers. Complete system restore can be performed to the same or another system with different hardware.
"Disk imaging for disaster recovery and system deployment becomes more and more popular as it saves a lot of time when restoring, minimizes the downtime and dramatically reduces IT costs which is much important for organizations", said Dmitriy Samborsky, head of Novosoft Product department. "If something happens, should it be hardware crash or software failure, it is enough to launch disk image recovery and the system will be up and running just in minutes. With the previous version of Handy Backup Server that was possible only for the server, now the program can make exact hard disk copy of each workstation".
Added functionality also includes some powerful features that allow automatically backing up specific data stored on workstations. Thus the program finds all MS Exchange storage groups on a network, Lotus Notes databases and backs them up quickly and easily.
\"Ease of use was an area that we wanted to focus on,\" said Dmitriy Samborsky. \"We always strive for making the product simple and self-explanatory so even people who have not used it before would be able to pick it up quickly.\"
