Backup to Network

Storing 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.

Local and Network Backup

Handy Backup has an extensible plug-in-based functionality and allows each customer to select any combination of features and build a solution tailored for his own requirements. Basically, all available plug-ins can be divided into three categories:

• Files-based backup. The utility allows you to easily back up files, folders and all other data that can be recovered on file level. This includes Windows registry backup, e-mail backup, preferences of different software applications, etc.


• Image-based backup. The Professional edition of Handy Backup features a Disk Image Backup module which creates a snapshot of an entire HDD with all system data, boot records and drivers, and can be used to clone hard drive.


• Database backup. There is a number of plug-ins designed for hot backup and recovery of databases of different types: ODBC database backup, MSSQL backup, Exchange Server backup, Lotus Notes backup, and other.

Handy Backup comes in three editions, each of which includes different sets of functions. Also, plug-ins may be purchased separately and added to functionality of Handy Backup Standard, without paying any extra fee. See all editions of Handy Backup...
