NovaBACKUP CMon 19.8 Overview

This NovaBACKUP CMon (Central Monitoring Console) 19.8 Overview video provides a general overview of the features in CMon and what it can be utilized for. NovaBACKUP CMon is an HTML5 web based Central Monitoring application compatible with NovaBACKUP and xSP backup clients. The CMon software must be installed and we recommend watching the CMon 19.8 Installation Guide video linked here and in the video description. The Installation Guide video shows how to install the CMon software as well as how to connect your backup clients as agents to the CMon so that they can be centrally monitored via CMon's web interface.

NovaBACKUP CMon should work with most HTML5 compliant web browsers.  Web browsers that have been tested include:

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome for Android and iOS, and Safari for iOS.

We recommend the video be watched in full screen / HD.

Note: Please view the video in 1080p resolution when possible, by changing the resolution inside the YouTube video, as that is the native resolution that this video was recorded in, otherwise there will be loss of clarity.  YouTube sometimes does not auto-detect the resolution properly.
