Data Backup to DVD

The ability to back up to DVD is one of the most valuable features in backup software. DVD discs are reliable, transportable and have large capacity, which makes them perfect media for regular backups. Recording a hard disk image backup to DVD (or to more advanced media, such as HD DVD or Blu-Ray) is an effective way to protect PC system and all data from "local" disasters, such as virus attack or HDD failure.

Handy Backup is your most devoted assistant when it comes to performing quality DVD backups. Its user-friendly interface provides an easy way to specify what data you need to back up to DVD, when you need to back it up, and different options of recording backup to DVD. In its work, Handy Backup employs the most advanced tools: data compression and encryption, file filters based on file masks and extensions, powerful backup scheduler, etc. For more details, refer to the feature page of our data backup software.

Recording Backup to DVD

To backup files to DVD, make sure your computer is equipped with a DVD-R drive. Handy Backup supports all types of DVD burning drives and has the following main features:

• Built-in DVD burning tool. With Handy Backup, you can record backups to DVD without applying to any third-party software.


• Easy creation of DVD backup task. To burn backup to a DVD, you only need to select data to backup, specify DVD as the backup destination, insert a disc in the drive and click Execute!


• Automatic disc erasing. If you use rewriteable DVDs, you can enable the program to automatically erase them before writing.


• Spanning data while recording backup to DVD. If selected data can’t fit a single disc, the program will automatically divide it into equal parts and record it to several DVDs one by one, not disturbing the file consistency and prompting the user to insert the next DVD when the current disk is full.


• Data verification. Handy Backup has an option to verify data backed up to DVD after burning.

Note: If you burn backups to several DVDs, be sure to number them, since you will have to insert them in order during the restoration. (This also applies to recording backup to CD disks and any other removable media.)

For a detailed description of options of DVD backup, refer to Backup to DVD in the User Manual.
