Customers about Scheduling Backup by Handy Backup

"I schedule backup to OneDrive with Handy Backup instead of a built-in sync tool, as I have many dynamic components on my Wordpress-driven website. It works well, and I always can be sure that my data will be saved to a cloud and recovered when I need"
