Can I backup several files or folders at the same time?



Yes, it is possible to backup several files and/or folders at the same time.

  • Handy Backup manages all backup processes through tasks. A simple user interface allows you to add to a backup task as many files and folders as you want. For details, please refer to Step 2: What to Backup in the User Manual.

  • Advanced architecture allows you to run several backup tasks simultaneously. However, it is not recommended to execute multiple tasks at the same time, as it consumes a lot of system resources. Also, trying to run more than one task that backs up to CD or DVD disc will result in an error.
