What is the optimal home and home office backup strategy?
I’ve been a project manager at Handy Backup for over 15 years. During this time, I’ve seen countless tech support cases — including messages like:
I didn’t do backups, my accountant did… and she passed away.❞I have a backup, but it’s too old to help.❞My secretary used to back up the data by emailing important files to herself, but she quit and now she doesn’t respond to messages.❞That’s why the most important strategy for any home or home office backup is simple:
✔ A backup must be done
✔ It must be done automatically
✔ It must be done regularly
✔ And you must have direct access to itIf you’re not very tech-savvy and don’t have an on-call system administrator, the easiest way is to do a full backup without archiving (but with a password) so you can access your backed-up data yourself.

I’ve been using Handy Backup for years, and I like this software because it allows me to backup to native file format, and if I want to secure certain files and folder backups, I can compress and encrypt them easily. In my experience the program was also very stable compared to the others I tested.
