Backup to USB drives

Ability to backup to USB plays a very important role in data backup software. USB devices have large capacity (especially if you backup to USB hard drive), are transportable and very reliable. Used in a Plug-and-Play environment, they can be safely connected and disconnected from the computer without rebooting, thus being perfect media for regular backups.

Some HDD vendors even produce hardware USB backup solutions which allow you to press a button and have your hard drive image backup automatically copied to a USB hard drive. However, devices like these don't provide flexibility in configuration and in most aspects lose to software backup solutions, such as Handy Backup.
