Handy Backup Full is automatic file backup, disk imaging and hot database backup software. Supports backup to DVD, CD, FTP, SFTP, LAN or Online with scheduler, ZIP and encryption. Can run as service under Windows Vista/XP/2000 and 2008/2003 Server.
Features: This is a back up solution that can do full back up, incremental back up and mirror back up. In full back up all files of the selected backup set are copied upon each backup session. In incremental back up only new and last modified files are backed up while in mirror back up identity of content of the two selected folders are ensured. Automatic backup scheduler sets up the process. It runs as Windows Service and allows users to set up backup schedule and options once and have backup processes always started in time even with no user logged in. 128 bit encryption is applied if required. ZIP compression is available. Filters ensure the required file types are definitely backed up and ones not specified are positively excluded.
Built in burner ensures the back up can be made on optical media without the need to hunt for a third party burner. Optical media including Blu-ray is supported. Disk verification is included to ensure the back up can be restored. Event logs and email notifications ensure everything goes according to plan. Open files can be skipped to avoid data integrity problems. If any other application need to run prior to or succeeding the back up process that too can be scheduled. There`s quite a bit of flexibility about where do you want to store the back up data. Local hard disk, disks through the firewire interface, USB devices, back up on FTP server, DVD, Blu-ray, dual layer or remote disk services like WebDav or some other remoter back up service; there`s a wide choice.
Overall: Good set of useful features that are easy to set up and use.
