What is the optimal home and home office backup strategy?
I’ve been a project manager at Handy Backup for over 15 years. During this time, I’ve seen countless tech support cases — including messages like:
I didn’t do backups, my accountant did… and she passed away.❞I have a backup, but it’s too old to help.❞My secretary used to back up the data by emailing important files to herself, but she quit and now she doesn’t respond to messages.❞That’s why the most important strategy for any home or home office backup is simple:
✔ A backup must be done
✔ It must be done automatically
✔ It must be done regularly
✔ And you must have direct access to itIf you’re not very tech-savvy and don’t have an on-call system administrator, the easiest way is to do a full backup without archiving (but with a password) so you can access your backed-up data yourself.

Customers about Handy Backup
I’ve been using Handy Backup for years, and I like this software because it allows me to backup to native file format, and if I want to secure certain files and folder backups, I can compress and encrypt them easily. In my experience the program was also very stable compared to the others I tested.

Handy Backup Customer Feedback
It is a nice and easy to use backup software for a person with basic technical skills and knowledge of backup concepts. And if they didn′t know that much they could ready up in your help area. I am happy at this point with your software.

I love its simplicity - it does what it says on the tin with minimal fuss and absolute reliability.
John Stuart Clarke, User
I bought a terabyte backup drive intending to back up my wife′s and my computers over our home network. The software that came with the drive gave me no flexibility at all in how to configure backups - it was fully hands off. I was specifically looking for certain things and found your software.
Bob Lombardi, Client
Handy Backup is an incredibly powerful and affordable way for me to make sure all my critical information is backed up. It allows me the flexibility to backup and restore my data where and when I want it without relying on our IT department.
