Everyone knows they're supposed to back up data on a regular basis, but it's such a Herculean task that we tend to put it off. Enter Handy Backup, a nifty, easy-to-use utility that employs a helpful wizard to guide you through the usually painful backup process. You can back up to your hard drive, another computer on a LAN, your CD-RW drive, flash device, or an FTP site. You can set the program to backup daily, weekly, or monthly at a specific time. The program can also be set to encrypt your data using 128-bit encryption. The simple interface is so user-friendly, you might actually find yourself backing up regularly.
