NovaNet-WEB makes it easy to
configure new users. A simple configuration
interface allows the administrator to quickly configure
new users to begin using NovaNet-WEB.
Windows NT Service
The NovaNet-WEB Server software
runs on Windows XP/2000/NT as a service. It automatically
services all backup and restore requirest for each
user. Since it is a multi-threading application it
can easily handle multiple simultaneous users without
slowing down.
Fast
Performance
NovaNet-WEB v2.0 includes several
performance enhancements making practical to support over
10,000 users on a single server. The enhancements
include:
Use of Component Object
Model (COM) for structured file storage. This
enables the client and server to process each
user request over 30 times faster.
Faster encryption
performance using the Blowfish algorithm.
(448-bit key Blowfish is faster and more secure
than 40-bit DES encryption.)
Streamlined protocol
facilitates fast authentication and minimizes
overhead. Often cuts backup times in
half.
Multi-threaded processes
on the client and server make efficient use of
CPU time and power.
Automatic Online Upgrades
All version upgrades can be
distributed to all end-users automatically after
completing a backup. When new versions of the client
software are available, the update patches can be placed
on the server to allow client to automatically get
updated to the latest version. All update patches are
created with the same FastBIT technology to reduce
transfer time. Upgrades happen seamlessly without any
user intervention required.
User
Data Retention Policies
The server administrator can
configure the restorable window for each user. This
basically tells the server how many revisions of a
particular file can be store on the server. If the
restorable window is set to 1 month, only the data backed
up within the past 1 month is available for restoration.
Master Key Option
Some corporation users want the
ability to have a Master Key on the server in order to
recover critical corporate information in the event of an
employee termination or dispute. The master key can
be set and applied for individual users. By default
the master key is disabled on the server. If the
users do not want their data to be accessible by the
administrator, than a setting on the client software can
prevent the administrator from using the master on their
account.
Error
Notification
The server software has the
ability to alert administrators via e-mail of an error
that has occurred. The administrator can get notified of
any of the following types of errors:
Program Exceptions
XP/2000/NT System Errors
Backup/Restore Errors
Connection Failures
Authentication Errors
Licensing
Warnings/Errors.
The server can also write messages to the XP/2000/NT Event Log or send Windows XP/2000/NT Alerts.
