The best way to fully retrieve the lost data is to have a backup copy in advance. The options Handy Backup offers you here are:

Cloning the Entire Computer

Copy all the files, folders, and settings (disk image functionality). A perfect option for lost data recovery even if hard drive is physically damaged.

System Backup

Copy only the OS. Helps to bring things back if it is the system that crashed and the actual data are not gone. A much more space consuming option than disk imaging.

Individual File and App Backup

Store only the stuff you really need. Save popular home apps (Outlook, Skype, Photoshop, etc.) with free plug-ins and professional data protection for business data (Oracle, DB2, MS SQL, and others).

Dismissing the Zero Backup: Rules of Keeping a Computer Neat

The routine of retrieving the files & stuff which wasn’t properly protected against data loss is called zero backup.

To begin with, here comes a piece of ruthless truth: zero backup fails. The lost data can’t be recovered way far too often than one would wish. There are situations like file deletion and fast disk formatting (Main File Table cleaning) when you can actually bring the missing data back. In other cases, like OS or associated application malfunction, virus infection, or hard drive failure, there are no guarantees that the lost data recovery will succeed.

Another piece of truth: the best data protection strategy is to take care of your stuff beforehand. Here comes the powerful Handy Backup software to help.

But even with the use of specialized software, there are several tips which you can follow in order to get the most data protection. Treat your data properly, so it doesn’t get lost that easily!

Let it be called the backup culture. The tips are simple:

• Keep your files and folders organized. Let there be a reasonable disk partition, crucial data kept in several places (local and remote), and scheduled backups and synchronization.
• Monitor your OS health. Use specialized utilities for regular defragmentation, cleaning of temporary and cache files, and detection of system registry disorders. As for the backup software, it might do the job of giving you the option of incremental copying, which would be a great help.
• Keep an eye on backup software news. The stuff is rather rapidly evolving, so, knowing what the up-to-date utility capabilities are might help you out, as you use only the best.

Follow these simple recommendations and you’ll minimize the odds for the lost data recovery becoming needed by you.

Zero Backup VS Handy Backup
