The Native Lenovo Backup Tool

For organizing Lenovo system backup out of the box, all Lenovo laptop and desktop solutions contain a native Lenovo recovery utility called OneKey. This tool is simple but powerful, providing an effective Lenovo backup and recovery. However, it lacks automation and storage functions of Handy Backup.

System Requirements

Handy Backup works as Lenovo backup software solution on any modern PC unit utilizing Windows (including Windows 10, 8.1/8, 7 and Vista, as well as Windows Server 2019,2016, 2012/2012R2 and 2008/2008R2), and supports some Linux distributives based on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.

Hardware requirements: Handy Backup requires no special hardware except 256 Mb of RAM and some free space to install a copy on the hard drive;
Network: Handy Backup effectively utilizes a network, allowing such things as Lenovo cloud backup, FTP connections and dumping remote database. It works without a network, too.
Drivers, services and bridge software: by itself, Handy Backup utilizes no third-party software to operate, except Wine for Linux to run an interface component.

Note: When using Handy Backup as Lenovo Thinkpad backup software, laptops of this type can require additional authentication and permissions for copying different data and system, due to extended data protection of Lenovo business series!
