  Version: NovaBACKUP 10.0.25

  "It works, it's reasonably fast."

  by Charles K on June 11, 2008

  Pros: It works, it's reasonably fast & you can select a destination drive such as a 2nd hard drive or an external hard drive. Let me put it like this. I have a full version copy of this in v8 but don't use it. It has a built in AV scanner that scans the files as their being backed up. This version supposedly had a drive imaging module. All in all, if everything does what this publisher claims, it might be worth a look see.

  Cons: it's just a personal opinion but I prefer a file backup program that doesn't encrypt the backups. I like to look & see whats in there for peace of mind. At $50, I can think of other, cheaper file backup options. Second Copy is a good choice & less expensive. I use Windows XP Pro & Windows Vista Ultimate. Both have built in file backup modules that I can attest to working well, though in a similar manor as this program. But, the two very best backup programs I've ever used are Norton Ghost (and I'm not in any way a fan of Norton)& the program you get free when you buy a Maxtor One Touch (dang if I know what it's called) external hard drive. This trial is to limited and signing up opens the door for spam emails from this company. With all this in mind, I just can't recommend this program.

  "Buggy, a work in progress, works ok a day or 2 then..."

  by teddertn on March 28, 2009

  Pros: Straightforward to learn and setup

  Cons: One day it works fine, next day it works fine, 3rd day starts screwing up. Plus taskbar status program makes backups impossible. Antivirus downloads don't work in the app, no manual ones available for this version.

  Summary: I've used this program since version 8.5. Once I figured out that I couldn't have the taskbar status notifier program running because it hangs the backup so it never finishes, AND the antivirus downloads complete so fast that it is obvious they are ... read more >>

  "Its the same as another backup"

  by Kate62775 on January 21, 2009

  Pros: a lot of features

  Cons: its becoming too complex with all these features that need time to learn, weak scheduling, always compressed in 2 GB chunks, still dont know where to change that, i have decided to look for another backup product, that turned out the same product

  Summary: Migo PC Backup and NovaBACKUP are the same product, so if anyone has problems with one of them. dont try the other because you will find that problem there.
  
  Imagaing is very weak, you will get the impression that a boot disc is optional b... read more >>

  "Did not work for me"

  by dave54t on September 6, 2008

  Pros: I guess that some one will find- I did not

  Cons: tried to back up an about 8gb doc and email- after loading up 3 DVD discs, started to ask for more and more, without explanations and without ever completing the backup

  Summary: stay away
