For Handy Backup, it is definitely no differences between, say, Windows 8 cloud backup and saving data from any other version of Windows. It handles all OS editions and versions equally, requiring no extra learning and skills from a user to switch between the systems.

How to Use Windows Cloud Backup?

In Handy Backup, all online backup options are the plug-ins available for either storing data or making backups from accounts. Therefore, you can find every cloud plug-in on the "Cloud" group on the left panel on the Step 2 of a new backup task wizard, or on the left panel of a Step 3 (data destinations).

In addition, when you need to make a whole Windows cloud backup, you can use a plug-in for taking an OS drive image, which can be either the Disk Image or the System Recovery tool.

Note: When making a Windows backup cloud image, please check firstly if you have enough free space on your cloud account to accept an image. Such data files can be very bulky, easily overflowing any standard cloud storage capacity!

As data sources for Windows-related data 9e.g. for backing up user libraries;
As backup destinations for Windows whole drives and separate data;
For restoring, cloning, mirroring and dispatching Windows data.
