Recovery Drive - Creating Bootable HDD Data Recovery Tool
Recovery drive lets you restore your system after a disaster. If your primary system crashes so badly that your computer can’t start, a recovery drive will let you boot up your PC and restore a backup, perform virus scanning, and much more. To set up a system backup and create a recovery drive to restore it, you need advanced backup software, such as Handy Backup.

USB Recovery Drive
To create a recovery drive, you need a USB-compatible device, e.g. a Flash drive or an external HDD. The drive comes with a Linux-based operating system and four modules: backup&recovery, file recovery, partition manager and antivirus.
Easy Hard Disk Recovery
The software installed on the recovery drive is completely compatible with backups made by Windows version of the program: restoring a disk image takes just a couple of clicks.
Handy Backup Home Professional
To create a recovery drive and make use of all its powerful options, you need the Home Professional edition, or higher.
Why You Need It
When you use a computer with Windows, some HDD data is used by the operating system exclusively. While we have developed a technology that allows backing up a working system drive, there is no way to perform “hot” drive recovery. To restore a system partition, you need to stop the computer, load it from an external drive, and then restore a backup to a “cold” drive, just as if it was external media.
Bootable Recovery Drive
The most significant thing about backing up is an opportunity to perform backup recovery when you need it. But if your system fails, you have no working computer to restore it - which makes a sort of a vicious circle. Our software breaks it: in case of a major failure, you can always boot from a recovery drive and restore the operating system and everything - just as if nothing happened.
Convenient Disk Cloning
Besides backup and recovery, the utility provides a smooth and easy way to clone disks.
- Boot from the recovery drive.
- Create a new Restore task.
- Select the original hard drive as a source.
- Select the new hard drive as a destination.
This is the easiest way to set up multiple identical computers. Learn more about cloning hard drives...
