ZIP Backup

Zip backup is a saver. In many cases, keeping track of your valuable data and performing regular PC backups may not have an immediate effect for you, but only consume space on the disk. To optimize backup storage, it may be wise to compress backups to ZIP files and reduce the space that you use for something you may never need.

Handy Backup features an integrated ZIP backup compression algorithm with the choice of 10 available levels of compression. Any data that you back up with Handy Backup can be automatically compressed, resulting either in a single ZIP backup file, or in multiple ZIP files for each file or folder backed up.

ZIP Backup Software

Handy Backup is backup software with ZIP compression, famous for its convenient interface, where all backup-related options are defined through tasks. Each task carries its individual settings (backup ZIP compression, encryption, scheduling, and other) and may include any amount of data. To add this or that data to the task, you only need to select it in the dropdown menu, and everything else will be done by the utility.

Here is a brief list of what can be backed up with ZIP compression in Handy Backup:

• Files Backup. A backup task may include any amount of files and folders, which can be selected either individually, or through predefined presets. Presets include My Documents backup, Desktop backup, Outlook backup and other. For any task you may enable a flexible filtering system which lets you back up files that you need only (backup videos, backup pictures only, etc.) As already noted above, there is an option to create a single ZIP backup, or numerous ZIP files, one per each item backed up.
• DiskImage Backup. In terms of saving storage space during disk imaging, the best effect will be achieved not through ZIP backup compression, but through skipping sectors that are not occupied by any files. And as regards, particularly, ZIP compression of a hard disk drive backup, the compression ratio is practically unpredictable.
• Database Backup. Handy Backup features rich set of functions related to backing up databases of different types. Most data imported from DBMS can be compressed quite well, producing files smaller by up to 50%. Learn more about database backup...
