Linux Backup

Support for Linux backup was an important step in development of Handy Backup. The latest version of the program allows you to back up Linux servers as easy as Windows-based PCs! All you need to do is to install and launch it under Wine which is a Windows-compatibility layer for x86-based systems. At present, Handy Backup has been tested and proven to work under Debian Linux with kernel 2.6.x. For other *nix systems it may not work properly, but the development is in progress.

Handy Backup is an effective backup software for Linux and Windows incorporating a full range of services regarding data backup. It's a Swiss-army knife in the area of data protection: a complete solution for Linux backup which is far more reliable than any Linux backup script available on the Net.

Here are some of the main program's features:

• Automatic backup. Handy Backup has a flexible backup scheduler which can automatically repeat tasks execution with a given rate. Back up your Linux files while you work, sleep or have fun!
