Installation (Version 6)

Handy Backup can be downloaded in the Download section free of charge. The installation file is common for all editions of the program, including the Network Server edition. Before you install the program, make sure that your user account has administrative rights on the computer.

To install Handy Backup on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Launch the installation file (handybackup_setup.msi).

Note: Some users experience problems with launching the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) files. The support for MSI files depends on your OS and the version of Windows Installer used in your system.

If Windows Explorer claims that nothing is assigned to the .MSI extension, try one of the following things:

• In Start menu, click Run, type msiexec.exe /i, and then browse for handybackup_setup.msi. The concluding command should look like this:

msiexec.exe /i C:\Downloads\handybackup_setup.msi

• Install the latest version of Windows Installer from the Windows update website http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

2. When the Setup Wizard opens, click Next.
3. Read the license agreement, and then click Next. The application selection window will open.

4. Select the application you want to install.

Select Handy Backup to install local version of the program. This option is common for all editions: Standard, Professional and Full. Select Handy Backup Server to install server edition, or Backup Network Workstation to install backup workstations. For more details on installing the Network Server edition, please refer to Installation of Server Edition.

5. Click Next.
6. Select the destination folder for installation, and then click Next.
7. Click Install.

The utility will be installed on your computer. The program doesnt require a reboot, so you can run it right after the installation is finished.

8. Check Run Handy Backup to launch the application after finishing the installation. Check Show Readme if you would like to see the full list of features. Click Finish.
