Handy Backup

Handy Backup is a Windows application for automating the backup process. You can set up a schedule, use encryption, and upload to a network storage.

Creating a task

After opening the program, you need to activate a new task. Configuration is performed in a step-by-step mode. The first step involves specifying the directory that will be archived. Next, you need to specify the storage location of the data set. This can be a local disk, a connected drive, an external server or a cloud platform. Using a network directory will allow you to restore files even if the computer completely fails. It is possible to copy not only files, but also the corresponding access rights. To save space, you can activate differential copying mode - only changed and new files will be tracked and saved. Packing files into a ZIP archive is supported. The archiving schedule can be flexibly customized using the scheduler. This allows you to take into account the current situation and copy data only when necessary. This is important because such archives can take up a lot of space. Additionally, you can protect files with a password.

Recovery

If an abnormal situation occurs, you can quickly restore the original files. The step-by-step wizard is also used for this purpose. It is necessary to activate the appropriate mode, specify the path to the desired archive, confirm the start of the action and wait for completion.
