What's New

Security and Convenience

The Q3 2025 release is all about giving you more control and stronger security when managing your backups. Whether you're an MSP serving regulated industries or an in-house IT professional responsible for daily backups, these updates are designed to simplify your work and make your backups (and, consequently, your restores) more reliable.

Highlight

Enable 2FA

Backup systems are prime targets for cybercriminals. A compromised admin account can grant access to all client backups and sensitive information. However, with 2FA, even if a password is stolen or guessed, an attacker still can't access the system without completing the second authentication step. 

 You can now enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across all user accounts in NovaBACKUP’s Central Management. It works with any standard authenticator app and is fully integrated for a smooth setup experience.

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.
