Website Backup

Website Backup is a matter of major importance. Today, virtually every customer learns about products in the Web, and all major companies promote and sell their services in the Internet. To always feel safe that important data will not be lost due to competitor’s virus attack or server failure, you need to make regular website backups with a software like Handy Backup.

Web Server Backup

Websites commonly depend on files (scripts, images, HTML, etc.) and databases (MySQL, MS SQL or other). Handy Backup lets you protect both - so in case of a disaster, web server downtime will be reduced to the minimum.

Database Backup

If you have a large website with thousands of pages, it is most likely implemented on top of an SQL database. For website backup, Handy Backup can copy MS SQL, MySQL, and other databases without stopping the website. Learn more about database backup...

Access Files on FTP, SFTP and FTPS Servers

Handy Backup can be used in both directions: to access and back up files from an FTP server, and to store backups to FTP. With database backup, this is commonly a perfect solution for website backup.

Performing Website Backup

Handy Backup doesn’t act as an “exterior visitor” browsing the site and copying all text and images as they are given by the web server, because this method cannot be used to restore the site if it fails. It implies that you have direct access to web server files, so you can make a complete website backup without exceptions, and always bring it back to work in case of a disaster.

Cloning Website Servers

Backing up your website allows minimizing the risk of data loss in case of a disaster and reducing downtime of your server to the minimum. Time is money - the less your site is unavailable, the less expenditures it causes.

For most important projects, it is wise to not only have a backup and recovery plan, but also have a complete backup server. With Handy Backup, you can easily keep several files and databases in sync, so you can always use an alternative server if the original one fails. You can also clone a server by restoring website backup to a different computer (of course, the destination web server must have a similar configuration).

From now on, website backup is as easy as a 1-2-3!
