Handy Backup 6.1

Why Use Plug-Ins



Plug-ins can be useful when you specify data set during the process of backup task creation. The basic principle is that you only need to select an item you want to include to backup and Handy Backup will automatically locate all needed files and add them to the backup set. For more details on using backup presets, refer to Using Plug-Ins.


The list of installed plug-ins can be seen you have when you click Add in Step 2: What to Backup. Another way to see the list of available plug-ins and plug-in categories is in the program settings:

  1. On the File menu, click Settings, or click the Settings button on the program toolbar.
  2. Click Plug-ins. The list of currently installed plug-ins will appear.
