Novastor Trials

Our first trial went well, the NovaStor allows you to stage your backup files (you can copy the initial full to a removable disk so you don’t have to swamp their internet for a few days). I was a bit unimpressed by the lack of a manual selection list, but the backup went well and I’ll try restoring later next week.
The price point is a bit steeper than our usual software, but the options look good. If they work as advertised, it’ll be worth it!
Even though the manuals might not be the greatest in the world, our support is very good.
To clarify — I was looking for a manual selection list, like typing the directories you want backed up instead of clicking through.
The problem with the clickable list is trying to add directories from network shares that aren’t browseable. It’d be nice to just type \\[computer name\[share]\directory to back up. Instead, I duct-taped it together with a robocopy pre-run script
