Advantages of Handy Backup as Image Backup Software

Key Advantages of Google One Backup with Handy Backup
Complete Automation
Handy Backup uses the Google Drive automatic backup plug-in to access Google One both as source or storage. This plug-in is extremely easy to use, fast and reliable. In addition, you can add more automation by scheduling your task to exact starting and repeating time, as well as by system events.
Complete Security
Handy Backup uses the secured Google One backup API to access this storage and making data exchange. You can add even more to this security by using internal compression and encryption tools, or by calling any external programs that you want just before or after a Google One auto backup task.
Complete Convenience
Handy Backup provides a lot of options for you when you making Google One auto backup tasks. Save time and storage space by making incremental, differential or mixed backup, store some versions of a dataset, run tasks in “silent” mode with no GUI, take email notifications… you can do all what you want!
Complete Freedom
Compared to official Google One sync tool, Handy Backup allows using any folder and any storage as both data source and backup destination. Users have no restrictions to operate with just one synchronized directory; instead, they can store backups to and from everywhere!

Recovering and Synchronizing Google Backup Data
Handy Backup also allows auto restoring Google backup data, either to an original Google One account or to completely different place that is available through any storage plug-in. Even more, you can synchronize your data between a Google One account and any other storage that you want!
Native Formats of Google Backup Files
If you do not want to restore your entire backup, e.g., when you need just one or two files, remember that Handy Backup stores unencrypted files in native formats. This means that you can open, browse, modify or even restore any single file or folder manually with any file explorer software!
Google One Backup and Sync Functions
As for any typical storage solution, you can do not only backup to Google One but also synchronize its account (or some account subfolders) with other storage. For this action, create a Handy backup synchronization task on Step 1, and then select sync direction.
- The one-way synchronization allows Google One backup PC folders in a simplest method.
- The mirror (two-way) sync allows fully synchronizing content between a Google One account and some other storage or folder.
Note: Due to constant upgrades of Google One security, the Handy Backup service for this cloud can be temporary unavailable. We hope to solve this problem completely as quickly as possible!
