Handy Backup allows many online storage types for Wordpress backup: OneDrive, S3, Dropbox and other clouds, including those connected by S3 or WebDAV protocols (even private ones), or backup Wordpress site via FTP servers of any type (e.g. SFTP, FTPS of simple FTP).
In addition, these are many local storage types for Wordpress offline backup, including local drives, external USB drives, or even memory cards (SD, CF etc.). You can use these storage types for either Wordpress backup download to computer via Internet, or for local servers.
Handy Backup preserves native formats for unencrypted and uncompressed static Wordpress backup files, and a "dump" for most SQL engines used for dynamic Wordpress database backup.
The "dump" method means that the website backup tool creates a sequence of SQL commands that restores previous database content when being executed. In other words, the dump file is a sequence of SQL commands containing the basic Wordpress backup information.
The native backup format brings the crucial advantage for users: you can backup Wordpress site and database and then operate freely with its content: change, browse, modify, clone or even restore Wordpress from backup manually after making some changes, refinements or other operations.
