How to Backup System

System backup with Handy Backup allows you performing full system backup through making a drive image, or saving crucial system components separately for Windows, Linux or even for other OS!

System Backup Software Tools in Handy Backup

These are some dedicated tools to backup system:
  • Component backup tools, such as Registry backup or User Folders backup plug-ins.
  • Drive imaging plug-ins to create a system image, i.e., Disk Image and System Recovery plug-ins.
  • A standalone system backup program — Disaster Recovery.
Presumably, plug-ins allow to backup system directly from a program, making Handy Backup a perfect system backup utility for Windows or Linux. The Disaster Recovery utility operates as a standalone solution, and it can make system backup from a USB flash drive for any system disk and/or OS.

Advantages of Using Handy Backup as System Backup Tool

Scheduling System Backup
Regular Backup
You can automate your component-based or full system backup, and schedule it to run at a pre-defined time, with a repeating period from some months to a couple of minutes. In addition, you can trigger a system backup to start when plugging a task-related USB device into a computer slot.

Security Measures
To make your image secure, this system backup software allows encrypting a drive image file. In addition, you can select a secure vault for your image data, e.g., an FTPS/SFTP server or an S3-driven cloud (such as Amazon S3).
