Paid professional services

NovaStor offers optional fee-based professional services like backup plan building, backup monitoring, restore assistance and more.

Backup plan

Work with a NovaStor backup expert to build a formal Backup Plan/Strategy for your company. Having a backup plan in place is critical for maintaining compliance in highly regulated industries. NovaStor will provide you with a detailed plan that will demonstrate that you have maintained the best possible level of preparation should disaster strike. For example, a backup plan is a requirement of HIPAA compliance. Even if a violation occurs, having a plan in place demonstrates best efforts and exponentially reduces your odds of receiving a substantial penalty.

  • Review your current plan or environment
  • Build a formal backup plan / strategy
  • Maintain compliance

Backup monitoring 

You’re a busy person or you are short on staff due to changes, cutbacks or vacations. Your data does not take time off. Let a NovaStor Backup expert monitor your backups, making certain that backup jobs are launching and completing successfully. If issues or failed jobs occur, they will contact you immediately and work with you to resolve the issue. Monitoring services are available for a single day or as a permanent fixture in your backup strategy.

It’s called backup software, but the ability to restore is why you purchased it in the first place. It is not often, but when data needs to be restored, it is typically urgent. Take some of the pressure off and have a NovaStor backup expert help you recover your files. They do restores daily and their experience can help you recover your data fast.
