In Handy Backup 8, we have upgraded the interface to make it more modern, more elegant than before. It still looks intuitive, right?
The main update for a new interface is a possibility to make a new task by an assistance of basic (simplified) or advanced (full-scale) task wizard.
The simple mode allows using only the basic settings and functions, making no distractions for a user by a lot of advanced functions. In the advanced mode, a user has full control over the process of task creation, which allows using all functions and operations for fine-tuning a particular task.

In the version 8, many algorithms have internal upgrades to speed up data exchange. This version will especially speeds up data exchange with online and cloud storage, and adds to convenience of other operations. The tested speed increment for transmitting multiple files shows a spectacular result of up to 27 times in backup and up to 9 times for recovery!
