Handy Backup: DVD support
About DVD Backup
Basically, the term DVD backup is used for two different areas of computing. The first meaning of this term implies saving data stream from DVD disk to a file on a hard drive (more frequently referred to as DVD ripping). The second meaning is used to describe a process of recording data backup to DVD i.e. creation of a reserve copy of computer data. Although this type of DVD backup can be performed manually, specialized software (which combines "common" backup software and DVD-burning tool) can noticeably ease the process.
Handy Backup is a reliable backup software for Windows, designed for people who require regular backups of their data and want to automate all related processes. The program automatically adapts when you reorganize data on your hard drive and records to DVD backup of changed files only. A flexible scheduler allows you to perform regular backups with whatever time frame, no matter if it’s one minute, or one month. Read more about options of burning backup to DVD...

Why Choose DVD Backup
There are several main reasons why you may want to backup to DVD:
- Perfect Backup Storage. DVDs have relatively large capacity and is act as perfect media to store documents, e-mail messages, applications, and other data that requires regular backups. Size of a double-layer DVD reaches 8.5 GB which in most cases allows recording daily backups without changing the disc for weeks. And if you want to back up to DVD huge sets of data (e.g. a hard disk image backup) you may use more advanced storage media, such as HD DVD or Blu-Ray disks.
- Backup Security and Reliability. Backups recorded to DVD disk can be easily transferred from one location to another and kept at a large distance from the original data thus ensuring greater security. Most manufacturers guarantee at least 50-years safety of data, if DVD is stored in normal conditions.
- Accessibility. Today burning devices are spread everywhere and are not very expensive. Handy Backup has an integrated burning tool which allows recording DVD backups without any third-party software.
To backup files to DVD it is recommended to use brand new DVDs or DVD-RWs of such manufacturers as Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden, as they supply high quality DVDs most suitable for backup. Using quality disks ensures quality writing and, more importantly, quality restoration of your DVD backup.
