Handy Backup allows lot of online storages for Wordpress backup: you can backup to OneDrive, Amazon 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).
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.

"Handy Backup is not as simple as a typical Wordpress backup plug-in, but it has much more flexibility. Personally, I prefer it for Wordpress backup and restore, as it allows me using Dropbox and S3 for saving my content and photos, and automates all actions, including privacy control."
