Press Release Summary: PC World publishes "Top 5 Backup Utilities" list: NovaBACKUP
10 claims #1 position

Press Release Body: Simi Valley, CA , October 15, 2008 -- NovaStor, a pioneer in
data protection, today announced that its newly released NovaBACKUP 10 was rated as
the best backup application in the October 08 print issue of PC World magazine. PC
World is the most widely-read computer or business magazine among all purchase
influencers with a readership of over 4.8 million. NovaBACKUP 10, which provides a
comprehensive data protection solution that includes local and online backup as well
as disk imaging left competitors (including EMC) far behind in PC World's "Top 5
Backup Utilities" ranking.

In its summary describing NovaBACKUP 10, PC World states that "a friendly new
interface and online-backup integration are highlights of this full-featured backup
app." The test report highlights that PC World was particularly impressed with the
program's disk imaging functionality which was described as capable of satisfying
the needs of private as well as professional users. PC World further praises that
"NovaBACKUP 10's layout and workflow are both immaculate - a rarity among the
comprehensive backup applications that NovaBACKUP 10 competes against."

NovaBACKUP 10 is the only all-in-one solution that operates from a single intuitive
user interface
NovaStor's award-winning solution provides clients with an all-in-one package
(online and local backup as well as disk imaging) and thereby gives users the
maximum amount of flexibility, allowing them to store their critical data in any way
they want (backup, copy, mirror, disk image) and where they want. NovaBACKUP
supports the largest array of storage destinations/devices, whether they are local
(disk, USB Flash, DVD, CD, tape) or through an online Software as a Service (SaaS)
option such as NovaStor's free online storage (included with the software) or
through partners such as Amazon (AMZN) with their S3 service offering.

"Gaining this number one ranking coupled with the "Best Buy" designation by PC World
- an independent magazine - demonstrates that NovaBACKUP 10 is the leading
application when it comes to data protection for small businesses, professional and
private users", says Mike Andrews, Managing Director. "This accomplishment is a real
testament to the efforts that our engineering team has dedicated to this product
over the past year. The initial response to this release has been incredible and
will result in several new partnerships NovaStor plans to announce shortly."

NovaBACKUP 10 is available for US$ 49.95. A 15-day free trial can be downloaded at
