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.

• Filtered mirror backup. Handy Backup allows using file masks to back up files of selected types only.

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.
