Genie Backup Manager promises “effortless protection for all your files,” and can be configured in three steps.

There's also a server edition available which offers optional support for virtual machines, SQL, and Microsoft Exchange, as well as being HIPAA compliant. Home users are charged for an annual subscription for a single PC, which offers protection against data loss, ransomware, and hardware failure. Also, the backup can be performed with AES 256-bit encryption for extra security. The standout feature of NovaBackup PC is the security offered, as the software runs locally to send the data to a local media drive, and does not connect to the internet. However, it does at least include any upgrades to the program, and also supports backup to cloud providers (including OneDrive and Dropbox). For modest users this will suffice, but it falls short when it comes to the interface, support for platforms other than Windows and Linux, and more advanced tasks. NovaBackup is a solid backup solution available as a subscription, and ideal for the essential backup task of making a copy of your computer’s hard drive on local media.
