Weekly Backup

Weekly backups come into play when your data doesn’t change very often. There are many critical things that require daily backups, such as enterprise correspondence, or product databases. But for many types of data that much attention is simply excessive: for example, there’s no need to continuously back up your music, as in most cases losing the latest album of your favored artist won't be a huge disaster.

Weekly backup plans suggest that your data changes on the weekly time-frame, and being able to roll back to a state that took place a week ago works fine. The concept behind this approach is very understandable: the more valuable the data, the more frequent backups are required.

To optimize backup and synchronization procedures and make data protection with Handy Backup most easy and cost-effective, we've added to the program differential and incremental backup engines.

Incremental and Differential Backup

Incremental and differential backup technologies enable minimizing storage space and time required to create your backups, by copying only most recent changes in data. In terms of weekly backups, this means that each task execution will back up only those files that were created or modified during the last week. In Handy Backup, incremental backup is made on file-level (i.e. each run of the task backs up files entirely), and differential backup is made on byte-level (the utility backs up the slightest changes in files).

All you need to do is to specify the start time, and then select On week days, and then your files will be backed up automatically, not requiring any attention.

Other Features of the Program

Handy Backup has a very rich set of features that can be used to back up virtually any imaginable data:

• You can either back up individual files and folders, or take advantage of the Disk Image feature which creates a backup of the entire hard drive with all OS settings, system sectors, boot records and other data.
• Our backup program can back up SQL databases including MS SQL backup, Oracle, DB2, and many other. To learn more, please see Database Backup...

• Handy Backup lets you back up your electronic mail, from Outlook, Windows Mail and other clients, to complete MS Exchange Server backups. For such important data like this, it is wise to enable backup encryption, so the backups will be secured from third-party access.
