Handy Backup 6.1

Handy Backup - Mirror backup software



In addition to full backup and incremental backup, Handy Backup can perform mirror backup (sometimes referred to as two-way backup). Mirror backup provides identity of contents of two locations by comparing them and copying new files to each other. Unlike full backup and incremental backup, which are both one-way backup, mirror backup allows backing up data in two directions.


Mirror backup is performed through the Synchronization function which exploits a files-based data transferring method. Files-based transferring means that Handy Backup can copy only the data that is represented in the file system as usual files and folders. This limitation means that the feature can’t be used for hard drive cloning. However, creation of disk image can be done through the use of drive image backup which is a different function of Handy Backup.

Handy Backup is a professional mirror backup software that can be used for folder mirroring, as well as for a complete hard disk mirroring. Here is the list of main features regarding synchronization:

  1. One-way or two-way mirror backup. Handy Backup allows you to choose sync direction: copying files from the first location to the second, from the second to the first, or mirroring HDD or folders.
  2. Remote folder mirroring. Handy Backup allows selecting any local, external or network drive as the first location, and also FTP and SFTP as the second location for synchronization.
  3. Filtered mirror backup. Handy Backup allows using file masks to back up files of selected types only.
  4. Scheduling mirror backup. Handy Backup has an easy-to-use scheduler which allows you to perform mirror backup each day, week, month, or in your own period of time.

The process of creating mirror backup task in Handy Backup is very fast and easy. All you need to do is specify two locations, select synchronization direction, and choose how to treat files with identical names. This is done with the help of an intuitive New Task Wizard, which will guide you through all steps.


HDD or folder mirroring is a good way to protect important data from hardware failure. If data from either location gets lost or corrupted, you can perform the procedure and use the other folder to restore the information.

Handy Backup is an ideal mirror backup software for computer users of all levels!
