- Disk Image Backup: Allows you to create images of any local or external disk, including individual partitions, regardless of the file system in use.
- System Recovery: Automatically mounts all connected hard drives, enabling you to copy specific files and folders.

How to create a bootable USB disk using the HBDR utility
To create a bootable drive, use a 4GB or larger USB flash drive and download the Handy Backup Disaster Recovery for WinPE file. Use software such as Rufus, UNetbootin, or WinUSB to format the drive and create the bootable USB flash drive.
- In the BIOS settings, configure the boot priority to prioritize the USB drive.
- Upon system startup from the Handy Backup Disaster Recovery disk, it will launch automatically. You will be presented with a utility window listing available objects and actions.
- This version of Disaster Recovery fully mirrors the PC version of Handy Backup. You can create backup and restore tasks using the same interface and most available data storage plugins as in the main program.
Note: Starting with Handy Backup Professional, users can use the same license key to activate both the main backup program and Handy Backup Disaster Recovery.
Disaster Recovery for Individual Data
In addition to complete image backups, our disaster recovery software allows you to separately save essential or critical information, ranging from user files to databases, websites, and other dynamic structures. When using Handy Backup as your disaster recovery management software, you can back up and restore these data sets individually.
Native Format of Backup Data
Handy Backup preserves files in their original uncompressed and unencrypted formats when copying them to backup storage. This means you can recover even a single file or folder in the event of a disaster by simply loading a system (e.g., from a live USB) and using a standard file manager to copy the necessary native file format.
"Handy Backup is a very powerful disaster recovery solution. I have backed up my drives regularly, once per month, with an internal scheduler, and sometimes I have a need to recover one of these drives with Disaster Recovery. Both functions are perfect! It is also relatively quick for such task, and I dream about a full-time, dedicated disaster recovery cloud for restoring my laptop drive from wherever I can go."
