Handy Backup lite is an easy-to-use freeware backup program designed for an automatic backup and restore of your critical data virtually to any type of storage media including remote FTP servers. You can use Handy Backup to make a reserve copy of any valuable data on your system. Handy Backup is designed for MS Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP. You only need to setup it once and it will monitor changes and execute scheduled backups and synchronizations at the time you specify. Strong file encryption, password protection and zip compression on the fly and many other features will protect your valuable data. Detailed online help is available.
Before Handy Backup I struggled with numerous backup tools and none of them did what Handy Backup could do. I searched for a utility that could do image-based backup and save my registry, so I would be able to recover my system on another hard drive (not a trivial question since a lot of system data can’t be just copied). Some of the programs I tested had it, but contained bugs or were too complicated (e.g. Norton Ghost had a constant error regarding burning backup to CD). Handy Backup appeared to be an excellent product that does exactly what it says and is very simple to use. I have used it for several months already and didn’t have a single problem with it; it works perfectly and satisfies all my needs.
Handy Backup has an ability to set incremental backups, which is a huge plus. You will surely appreciate this, particularly if you’re like me and always intend running a backup, but are never around to do it. Back in August I caught a virus, which led to a major system crash. Handy Backup made life tolerable as I could recover all data – it required just one click. The interface is VERY user-friendly, and since the utility has a very rich feature set, it is great for both professional and novice computer users.
Therefore Handy Backup easily gets my top marks for functionality and ease of use. Besides this, it has a very good support with no time limit: once you register, it doesn’t require any kind of subscription. I think that Handy Backup is one of the best tools on the software market and for me personally it was really worth buying.
