Tasks

Handy Backup organizes data in tasks. To backup, restore or synchronize your data, you have to create a task with the help of the New Task Wizard. All tasks have five common parameters:

• Type of operation: backup, restore, or synchronization
• Set of folders and files to process
• Scheduling - when and how often the task must be executed
• Actions - running external applications before or after task execution
• Unique task name

Backup and Restore tasks have several other common options:

• Type of backup/restore
• Backup/restore destination

For a backup task there is also a number of specific options, such backup compression, encryption, etc.

All created tasks are shown in the Task View window, and can be easily modified or deleted. There are six operations that are used to manage tasks in Handy Backup:

• Creating New Task
• Modyfing Task
• Duplicating Task
• Running Task
• Stopping Task
• Deleting Task
