WebDAV Backup

WebDAV backup suggests creation of data backups using the WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) protocol. The main advantage (and, basically, purpose) of it is that it enables multiple users to collaboratively manage files on a remote online server. Handy Backup can exploit WebDAV folders as effectively as local ones and perform backup operations in both ways: backup from WebDAV and backup to WebDAV:

• Backup from WebDAV. The very idea of WebDAV implies several people working on the same project. That's why all the data involved is several times more subject to corruption or deletion due to user mistake. Handy Backup delivers an easy way to automate backups of WebDAV folders – it's especially useful if you enable timestamps.


• Backup to WebDAV. As Web servers are commonly kept in a remote secured place, backing up to WebDAV folders provides the best protection of data from all local disasters.

Advantages of WebDAV Backup

• Access control. You can permit reading and editing WebDAV files to a limited list of users, in compliance with your company's security policies.


• Backup multiple files at once. Unlike FTP backup, which is limited to a single file transfer connection, WebDAV allows backing up several files at once. This allows you to execute several Handy Backup tasks that use the same WebDAV server simultaneously.


• Data transferring security. Generally, WebDAV is an extension of HTTP, which lets WebDAV backups effectively be done using SSL.

In addition to these features, Handy Backup supports the whole range of functions that are considered as most useful in backup software. These include backup compression, backup scheduling, capability to run backup as Windows service, and other. See all features of Handy Backup...
