StorX Integration Series: Backup with NovaBACKUP

What is NovaBackup ?
NovaBACKUP is all-inclusive local and cloud backup software for Windows. It is the backup software for managed service providers & small businesses.It provides a range of backup and recovery options to protect important data, whether stored on physical devices like desktops and laptops or on servers. NovaBACKUP is known for its user-friendly interface and reliability.

Advantage of Integrating the NovaBackup with the StorX

1. When using StorX, data is encrypted before it is uploaded to the decentralized storage network, ensuring that only the user can access their files. Integrating this with NovaBACKUP ensures that all backup data — whether it’s a full system backup or incremental file backups — remains encrypted and secure, even during transit and storage.
2. StorX operates on a decentralized model where users can store data across a network of independent storage providers, often at lower costs compared to traditional cloud services. Integrating this with NovaBACKUP allows users to back up their data to StorX’s decentralized network at potentially lower fees, compared to traditional cloud backup services like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud.
3. With StorX, you can dynamically scale your backup storage up or down based on your needs. If your backup requirements grow, StorX provides a cost-effective way to expand your storage capacity without the need to purchase additional physical hardware or increase subscription fees with traditional cloud providers.
