System recovery is one of the hardest and most boring things that you need to do after drive failure. But there are steps you can take to make disaster recovery easy and fast. All you need is to take a system drive snapshot and create a recovery drive - to do it, you need a proper backup and recovery software, such as Handy Backup.

Bootable Recovery Drive

Our software allows creating a USB drive, which can be used to restore a system. The scheme is simple: you back up HDD with Windows version of the program, and then, if something goes wrong, insert the recovery drive and perform recovery.

Sector-Based Image Backup

Backups are created on “physical” level of an HDD (sector-based snapshot), which means that they contains operating system, boot records and all other system data. Creation of a disk image doesn’t require you to reboot the PC.

Cloning One HDD to Another

If you take an HDD snapshot, and then restore it to a different device, you will receive a cloned drive. This is an easy and reliable technique of setting up multiple identical systems - and it’s easily doable with out software too.
