Partner Update Webinar
Q1 2026 Partner Update
Take Control: Your first look at what's next for managing your backup business.
We're kicking off 2026 with major upgrades to NovaBACKUP. These are upgrades you've been requesting, from a more intuitive UI to clear visibility into subscription costs.
Agenda
- Early preview of the new agent interface
Take an advance look at our completely redesigned agent interface. It's still in development, but we want to show you where we're headed and how it will make configuring and managing backups much more intuitive. - Subscription management at a glance
With the new subscription management you can see your usage and costs all on one page, including your past invoices, the ability to update the billing contact, and more. - Multi-tenant with multi-tiering
Set up role-based access so your team and clients only see their own data. We'll show you how it works and how it keeps client data separated while giving your team the access they need. - Roadmap
What else we're building in 2026 and how to get ready for it.

Throughout 2024 we have released a number of small and large updates to NovaBACKUP. New features bring new questions for our support. That's why we reviewed some of the most common support questions we received during our last Partner Update of the year.
During the webinar in October 2024, we went through some of the typical support questions, discussed why they come up, and how you can help your customers (and yourself). Among them:
- I can't see my backup device since updating to version 21.
- I want to set up a specific type of backup. How do I do that?
- How does retention work for local only, cloud only, and hybrid backups?
We also covered the latest enhancements, including how to set up and manage hybrid backup jobs within the central management of NovaBACKUP Managed Backup.
During the Partner Update Webinar on July 18, 2024, we gave you a sneak peek at our new Hybrid Backup feature. Plus, insights into how Managed Backup Services can improve your business.
- Our upcoming Hybrid Backup feature allows you to combine your 3-2-1 backup strategy into a single backup job, simplifying your setup process and eliminating the guesswork of which backup to restore from.
- Learn how you can meet customer needs, increase revenue, and build customer loyalty by offering a managed backup service (even if you're not an MSP). We shared tips on how to best package and streamline your backup service, including examples from real service providers like you.
