Very Good

User Reviews for Novastor NOVABACKUP PROFESSIONAL EDITION FOR TAPE DISK & CD/DVD

  • Reviewed by: fishfart

    Duration of ownership: 6 Months

    Strengths: good backup, easy to follow directions

    Weaknesses: SUPPORT is very poor. I spent 3 days trying to get the program installedd. The support personal gave me over a dozen "try this" none workdde. It was like they didn't know how to fix the problem and where just pulling the fix out of thin air. I spend 3 days emailing and calling before I gave up on the program. Now I am looking for a good reliabel backup program.

    Overall Evaluation: Good backup and restore directions in the manual. Support? don't even bother. The "technicians" are lazy, uninformed, and don't know how to fix any problem in the program goes South, and it will. Save your money and buy some other backup utilitity. PC Word's review is based upon a working program. Why didn't try the get suppor. Then, the review would have been "poor"

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: Relatively simple to use

    Weaknesses: Serious restore issues

    Overall Evaluation: Have used NovaBACKUP with my customers since the 6.x versions and was always happy with it until 7.x versions arrived. Have found that restores are VERY unreliable with 7.x versions. To date, NovaSTOR has been unable to resolve issues.

    Duration of ownership: 0 Month

    Strengths: I have not tried it.

    Weaknesses: They extort an extra $10 for upgrades in the first 12 months after your purchase! If they upgrade shortly after your purchase shouldn't that be included?

    Overall Evaluation:
