Key Features of the Professional Solution
Handy Backup Professional provides some options highly required for experts and advanced users.
System Backup and Recovery
The Professional edition can save an image of any drive as a VHD file. Users can restore this image later (including the possibility of creating a bootable device), or attach this VHD file as a virtual drive and browse its content, or even run it as a complete image of a VirtualBox machine.
Backup to All Popular Clouds

"I have a Pro version on each of my team workstations. It is a perfect tool, as it allows me saving both project workflows and whole system images. I also have a Pro copy on my management console, with MySQL and Exchange plug-ins to keep our office data and website copies intact. It is a very good price-to-efficiency bargain!"
