ODBC backup is crucial for data protection, instilling confidence in businesses that recovery time will be minimized in the event of data loss.
Backing up databases presents one of the most intricate challenges in data backup, as data within Database Management Systems (DBMS) undergoes constant modification from multiple concurrent users and cannot be replicated without interrupting the service.
This is why it necessitates employing hot backup technology, enabling data copying while maintaining business operations. Download Handy Backup to utilize hot data preservation!
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard database interface independent of any particular database engine. The special software, known as the ODBC driver, is required to utilize ODBC capabilities.
These drivers are readily available for any DBMS/DBME and are often free or open-source. The list of supported features depends entirely on the specific ODBC driver.
Handy Backup can perform automatic backup through the universal Database plug-in operating with ODBC drivers, ensuring that all features and limitations of the particular ODBC driver, including the possibility of "hot" backup, are supported.
* Databases marked with asterisks can also be backed up using specialized plug-ins. These specialized plug-ins can function without ODBC drivers. Explore the advantages of specialized plug-ins over the generic Database plug-in below.
Since many database engines lack native backup tools, there is a strong demand for universal software utilities capable of backing up any single database. You can find a list of ODBC drivers for various databases on the Database Drivers website.
With the ODBC plug-in, you can easily perform SQLite3 ODBC backups immediately after installing the appropriate ODBC database driver for Windows, enabling seamless SQLite backup. Recent versions of this driver support hot backup functionality for SQLite ODBC solutions on Windows.
Handy Backup is a comprehensive solution for all backup needs, including ODBC backup. The Database plug-in, utilized for these operations, offers the following features:
Handy Backup enables database backup for not only network or corporate-level users but also standalone computers. Whether you're looking for a comprehensive solution for your office or a reliable tool for Medical Database Backup, we hope this approach helps users of all kinds organize their backup workflow according to their specific needs!

For detailed instructions, please refer to the User Manual section dedicated to the Database plug-in.
In addition to the common ODBC-based Database plug-in, Handy Backup offers specialized database plug-ins. These plug-ins differ from the Database plug-in in the following ways:
It is almost universally acknowledged that specialized plug-ins can often serve more effectively than the basic Database plug-in. However, there are cases where this rule does not apply, and backup operations through the Database plug-in can be more effective economically or logically than using distributed plug-ins.
The ultimate decision depends solely on the user-defined strategy, rather than financial or technical constraints.
