NovaNET Plug-in - Backup for Microsoft Exchange Server

Requirements:
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.x/2000, Windows 2000/XP or NT 4.x, and NovaNET
The NovaNet plug-in for the backup of Microsoft Exchange Server is the ideal way to protect your Microsoft messaging system, even while it is being used. Business transactions never stop - neither should your messaging system. For many companies the information stored with the Exchange server is some of the most crucial shared information. Back it up with secure, on-line backup from NovaNet.

The Database plug in is fully integrated with NovaNET for complete data protection of your Microsoft Exchange Server.

Flexible Data Backup and Restore
With point and click simplicity, the integrated package gives you the ability to selectively choose what and when you would like to back up and restore. Protect the data you need, when you need it.

Remote Backup and Restore
Sometimes the Exchange Server is located on a machine other than the main NovaNET Host! NovaNET with Distributed Architecture* and the optional Exchange plug-in provides the ability to access, backup and restore databases on remote computers.

Full Database Restore
Just in case of complete disaster, the Exchange plug-in gives you the ability to restore the entire messaging database, minimizing any data loss to the database files.

* Distributed Architecture is available with Unlimited and Alliance versions only.




NovaNET Plug-in - Backup for Microsoft SQL Server

Requirements:
Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 or higher, Windows 2000/XP or NT 4.x, and NovaNET
Many SQL server environments are mission-critical and must be maintained twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Procedures and plans must be in place to insure the quick recovery of data in the event of data loss.

NovaNET Backup for Microsoft SQL Server is a reliable way to efficiently back up and restore your Microsoft SQL Server databases. NovaNET for Windows NT/2000/XP and the optional SQL Backup plug-in provides secure, automatic on-line backup of critical databases, even while they are still open and being used.

Key to the quick recovery of databases are the transaction logs. By using the transaction logs associated with each database, quick recovery of a database can achieved. Transactions that were not committed can be rolled back, while transactions that were committed can be written to disk.

The SQL Backup plug-in is installed easily, integrated in to NovaNET for total data protection of Microsoft SQL Server databases. With this package, you receive complete protection of the database files, tables, data and transaction logs.

Flexible Data Backup and Restore
With point and click simplicity, the integrated package gives you the ability to selectively choose what and when you would like to back up and restore. Protect the data you need, when you need it - no need for backing up the entire database when only certain tables contain crucial transaction information.

Remote Backup and Restore
Sometimes the database is located on different machines! NovaNET with Distributed Architecture* and the optional SQL plug-in provides the ability to access, backup and restore databases on remote computers.

You can even restore data to the same database or a different one, even if it is located on a different server.

Full Database Restore
Just in case of complete disaster, the SQL plug-in gives you the ability to restore the entire database, including the full transaction logs, in the same state it existed at the time of backup, minimizing any data loss to the database files.

Please note: the SQL plug-in does not support multiple instances of SQL on the same computer.

* Distributed Architecture is available with Unlimited and Alliance versions only.




NovaNET Plug-in - Backup for Microsoft Cluster Server

Requirements:
Microsoft Cluster Server, Windows XP/2000/NT 4.x, and NovaNET 7 SP2D or higher
MS Cluster Server support has been added to NovaNET 7 SP2D and above. This module can be installed as an option. This option allows a "Cluster Container" to be created which contains all the shared resources within the cluster. For example, if the SQL service and Drive M: are cluster resources, drag the M: volume and the SQL Database folder to the new cluster container. Once the resource is located in the cluster container, whichever member of the cluster has ownership of the resources will be used for the backup or restore operation.
