Easy Operations

All parts of a Wasabi backup task are highly automated; from making a new task to creating a connection with a Wasabi cloud storage to running a task at a particular scheduled time and repeating it as frequently as you need. Handy Backup will do most of the routine operations for you automatically.

Plenty of Options

Use Wasabi storage for any type of data to back up. Make full or partial (i.e. incremental and differential) or mixed full/partial backups. Store different versions of the dataset, make time stamps, compress and encrypt your backups to a Wasabi cloud. Handy Backup provides it all – and much more!
