Backup Dropbox with Handy Backup, and you will have an access to miraculous, most effective data
keeping techniques involving this popular cloud service, such as Wordpress backup to Dropbox or
cloning all data from your cloud account to some distant folder and vice versa!
Using the dedicated “Dropbox” plug-in from Handy Backup, you can copy your files such as photo, documents, computer drive images, website content or just generic files, to a Dropbox account as a backup vault, or from this account to another place such as backup Dropbox to Google Drive.
Backup to Dropbox
Turn your Dropbox account to a widely available, secured backup vault. Unless other conditions
specified, Handy Backup preserves native data formats in backups, allowing browsing and using any
single file from a Dropbox backup dataset as a common file of this type.
Restoring from Dropbox
With a Handy Backup restoration task, you can return Dropbox backups to their original places, or set a
new location to restore these data. Using the native data format, you can also copy or move files and
folders from backup to any location you need.
Backup Dropbox Account
You can also back up a Dropbox account by itself. As Dropbox backup software, Handy Backup can automatically online backup Dropbox to external hard drive, to NAS or FTP server, to another cloud such as OneDrive, ownCloud or to a local drive folder on your computer.
Handy Backup allows many features and provides some significant advantages for Dropbox automatic backup under any modern version of Windows, such as:
- Scheduling tasks by time for an exact repeating period, or by some event;
- Different backup methods (full, incremental, differential, mixed and versioned);
- Using time stamps on backups to automate or just quicken data sorting;
- Running other programs and utilities before or after executing a backup task;
- Built-in compression and encryption algorithms.
These and many other features of Handy Backup allow significantly reducing operational time and efforts needed for backup, as well as saving much space in a backup vault.
