Backup System

Generally, the phrase "backup system" may refer to two things: a system that combines a set of utilities that automate all backup procedures, or a process of creating operating system backup. This page describes deployment of a backup system and organization of data retention with the means of hardware and software solutions. To learn about complete Windows backup, please refer to system backup...

Are you on a look out for a backup system that would help you take the hassle out of making regular backups and optimize all backup-related processes? Then you've reached the right place. Handy Backup lets you create on your workplace a complete data backup system, which will perform data processing and storage absolutely autonomously, not requiring any user participation. The software is very easy in installation and configuration and is suitable for both home users and IT professionals.

Systemizing Backups on your PC

Let's see which aspects of backup need to be taken into account to minimize the risk of data loss. A full-fledged backup system should include:

• Easy Backup Configuration. The user doesn’t need to know where some specific data are located: there must be a kind of a menu from which you can select what you need. E.g. you click MS Exchange Backup and the program automatically locates all Exchange stores and adds them to the backup set.
• Data Processing Options. The main reason why people avoid backing up is that they can't see an immediate benefit of it, or are afraid to lose it. The backup system must provide an option of backup compression, to not waste disk space for something you may never need. Backup encryption is yet another example.
• Backup Storage. Different storage media provide different levels of security. Ideally, the utility should support as wide range of devices and protocols as possible, from local and USB drives to RAID arrays and from CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning engine to backing up to FTP/SFTP/FTPS and other network storages.
• Automatic Backup Performance. The idea of backup automation suggests an implementation of some task-based interface, where you create a task only once, and then it is executed automatically on a specified schedule.

With Handy Backup you can deploy a complete PC backup system that will incorporate all of the above features and much more. The utility supports files-based backup and synchronization, disk imaging, and has a very rich set of functions related to database backup.
