Backup to Network



Backup to network imageStoring backups on an external hard drive or DVD disc doesn't protect your data from physical destruction caused by fire or flood, – unless you keep them in a fire- and waterproof place. Much easier way to ensure safety of your data is to transfer backup to network location, or synchronize data between local and remote folder, via this or that protocol.


Handy Backup features a rich set of functions regarding interaction with networked computers. The software allows you to sync with or backup to any network folder recognized by Windows Explorer (including WebDAV backup), has an integrated FTP backup interface, and provides access to Novosoft Online backup service. Users of Handy Backup Professional edition can back up to SFTP servers, and companies can take advantage of Handy Backup Server which allows backing up network of an entire enterprise.

Handy Backup is Very Simple to Use, a Great Product.

Very simple to use. Much needed today with the amount of people using computers but are not very computer literate. Also it is great being able to just copy a file back rather than go through the restore backup process. Overall, a great product.
