WebDAV backup presumes utilizing a WebDAV data transferring protocol either as data source or as a destination, or for both sides (i.e. for WebDAV sync data). To use this technique, Handy Backup provides a WebDAV client plug-in that allows backup to WebDAV in either direction.

Handy Backup allows WebDAV backup in all editions through the dedicated "WebDAV" sync plug-in governed by a simple, modern-looking graphical interface (GUI). The new task wizard allows two modes: simple for basic backup settings and advanced for full-featured WebDAV sync or backup.
You can schedule any WebDAV backup or sync task in Handy Backup, to start it at an exact time with an exact repeating interval that can last from a single minute to some months. In addition, advanced task wizard mode allows you triggering backup to WebDAV cloud or from it by some system event.
Besides a secure WebDAV data transferring protocol, you can always compress and/or encrypt your WebDAV backup data with an internal tool, and decrypt your archives during recovery. Note that Handy Backup keeps unencrypted backup files in native format, allowing using these files without recovery!
The technology of WebDAV backup and sync allows connecting to many clouds. For some of these clouds (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive etc.) Handy Backup has own plug-ins requiring no WebDAV client software. Still, many other private and public clouds need for WebDAV to connect.
To make a simple WebDAV backup task, please use the following instruction:
Using the "Advanced Mode" in the task creation wizard, you have an access to many extra options for WebDAV backup, such as partial (incremental, differential or mixed) backup, storing versions, time stamping, calling external programs before or after a task and triggering tasks by system events.
Currently, there are a huge number of WebDAV storages. Handy Backup also provides a lot of opportunities of backing up: supports all kinds of physical, virtual, and cloud environment.
