Back up in native format is a default option for Handy Backup. To choose another form of data keeping you must specify compression and/or encryption of data.
When the backup task is complete, a copy of your data set appears in your chosen destination. You may process this data copy as any other directory or data set using file managing tools or dedicated software for manipulating with these data types.
Handy Backup allows keeping native format backups in any storage. You can choose between most common data storage options, such as:
You can choose options for compressing and encrypting data to save space on data-storage media selected for backups, or to send data backed up far away by using open networks. Compression and encryption can minimize both size and time of backing up, as well as add a bit for overall security.
"I am no computer whiz so I like the idea of the files being backed in their own format without too much fuss. It is an amazing option to open files just from backups, or to modify these files there, and even to copy files from a backup folder to wherever you want by a common file manager!"
