  I have 1 Win 2003 Server Raid 10. Its main function is terminal services for 5 or 6 various laptops and PC's that login via VPN Clients. Is the network Server going to be able to backup the Server, local and the remote systems once their connected and then have their data saved to an off site location? Will the software be capable of bare metal recovery with diffferent hardware? Comparing Handy backup with Storage craft. Need solid soultion ASAP. Thanks

• Rik Fox

  can the software restore to dissimilar hardware

• Moderator

  Yes, there is an option of retoring to dissimilar hardware, both for system snapshots and individual files.

• FrankC77

  Thank you, as it is a useful program although I do not have much data to backup. В FrankC

  I've converted from VISTA to W7, but when I reloaded and attempted to register HB 6.0 it said the registration failed. I tried to register via e-mail (as the subsequent pop-up recommended), but I haven't heard back from you yet.В  I still have the order number and receipt.В  I'm working off the trial version, but need to reactivate my copy.

• HB_Support

  You have to reactivate you license key for Handy Backup if OS is changed. Try to send your registration data again please. E-mail : support@handybackup.net

• Jim Calamis

  I love your software and have relied on it for a long time. В However, my old machine finally died and I migrated everything to a newer Dell laptop.В  What to I need to do to reactivate Handybackup 4.0 on the new machine? В My old license code doesn't work, and I've been without a backup for 3 weeks.

• HB_Support

  At the moment actual release of Handy Backup is 7.3.2 you can download on this site. With more detailed information we did reply to your e-mail.

• David Cataldo

  Hi - we need to backup about 10 workstations plus the server that has SQL server with a few databases. I also need central control. With this, I assume I need Your $599 product which comes with 5 workstations. So I have three questions questions: Do I need a SQL plug-in? What is the price for 5 more workstations? Couldn't I use the Small Server product? Thank you for your time.

  That one going to the sales department. Our business development director has said he is going to contact you personally, via email.В 

• Arnold_77

  May I shut off some backups/move them, f.e., I don`t need ICQ backup, ACDSee backup, etc., for having more place?

• HB_Moderator

  Of course you can choose needed plugins.

• Laura_S

  If I need to back up only the Lotus Notes/Domino database, would it be cheaper to buy just this plug-in in addition to the standard/professional edition?

• SashaHB

  Actually, it would. Handy Backup Standard + Lotus Notes/Domino Backup plug-in = $88. For more: handybackup.net/order-plugins

• T. S.

  Very helpful chart, but why it is so important to back up HDD Image? Does it mean that I don’t need to install an extra program to make disk image?

• SashaHB

  The HDD image will help you restore your operating system. No, Handy Backup Professional already contains everything needed.

• stinkyyy

  As I see Professional Edition covers many options, so I like it. May I take trial for the version?В  В 

• HB_Moderator

  Yes, you can take trial for Handy Backup Home Professional.
