Also the streamlined Disaster Recovery restores all of your data in the event of a crash. It’s everything you need, with none of the hassle.

Backup your files, images, videos and more to local devices or to the cloud. Now you can also securely backup to popular file sharing services that you already use like Dropbox, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, iDriveSync, SkyDrive and SafeSync.

NovaBACKUP 19 tested 4x faster than the nearest competitor. And you can use automatic scheduling to backup bit-level or incremental changes, in between your full backups – ensuring your data is always protected, without needing to continuously run full backups.

A backup is only as good your ability to restore from it, and the new NovaBACKUP 19 offers up to 4x faster restores – without compromising reliability. The newly developed logic builds an index into your backups for the fastest backup import speeds ever.
