What's New

Reliable Restores and More Transparency

The Q2 2025 release significantly improves backup integrity checks, increases restore speed, and provides more visibility into your usage and billing, resulting in more detailed information you can use to bill your customers.

Highlight

Mount Backup Files

Your manager needs an accidentally deleted file ASAP, but doesn't know where it was stored, or you want to do a quick integrity check of your backups without spending an afternoon restoring each and every file?

With the ability to mount any backup file, you can get a quick overview of the files in the backup, make sure they're all working, and even copy individual files (or everything that's included in the mount) to your computer.

Improved Backup Integrity Checks

Additional integrity checks now help NovaBACKUP see if there are files missing on the backup storage and request those missing files with the ongoing backup if that’s the case. Or if there’s more data on the storage than is listed in the index, it will correct the index accordingly and make sure the backups are restorable.

Restore Speed Improvements

Enhanced how the initial scanning and the backup data itself is handled during a restore which significantly reduces the time it takes to restore a backup file – no matter if it is a backup stored on a local storage or in the cloud. 

UI Framework Upgrades

Retention Improvements

Optimized retention rules to handle edge cases and orphaned files.

Detailed Change Log

When should I mount a backup versus restore it?

The mounting option is great if you need to restore a file that you and the user don’t know where it’s at. Simply mount the backup and search within the mount for i.e., the file name to see if the backup you selected contains the correct version. And then the user can simply copy it to their computer.

Can I receive the usage report for my Managed Backup solution daily?

Yes, this is an option. The default is weekly. If you'd like to receive this email daily, every other day, or on specific days of the week, just send us a quick email at msp@novabackup.com and we can adjust that for you.
