Handy Backup Plug-Ins: Windows Registry Backup, Applications Backup, Disk Image Backup, Database Backup, etc.



Handy Backup is available in several editions (Standard, Professional, Full and Server) which differ in functionality and data that can be backed up. The procedure of specifying backup set is done through selecting certain presets in the corresponding menu (see Step 2: What To Backup in the User Manual for details). The basic idea of presets is that you only need to click the menu item, and Handy Backup will automatically locate all necessary data and add it to the backup task.


The following menu items are available in any Handy Backup edition:

Apart from those, Handy Backup supports multiple plug-ins, most of which can be used only if your Handy Backup edition allows it.


In Handy Backup Professional:

  • HDD Image Backup allows creating a complete hard drive image backup which contains all HDD contents including operating system data and all information that is not represented as files

Each Handy Backup customer is free to choose any combination of features that he wants to use in the program. The minimum set of features is defined by Handy Backup Standard which can be upgraded with whatever function at any time. To add certain ability to Handy Backup Standard, you need to order it as an additional upgrade.


Note: In Handy Backup, the term upgrade doesn’t imply installation of new or modification of the original software. When you purchase an upgrade, you don’t get any software packs to update the program: what you receive is an update of your registration key in our customer database (e.g. the information about the features your serial number allows using in Handy Backup). To enable a feature after buying an upgrade, simply re-register the program with the same key.
