"I copy all my home office files with Handy Backup, including Access databases and Word text documents, to our corporate cloud via S3. I set up tasks to do it twice per day, on a lunch break (2 pm) and after a workday ends up (7 pm). Handy Backup fully automates all necessary actions, creating an exact copy of my home workfiles and Access data on a cloud."
