Handy Backup

A Complete, EXTENSIBLE Backup Solution

Your computer setup is a reflection of you. Sure, everyone has their documents folder, their pictures folder, their office applications - but that's where most similarities end. Think about it, your Photoshop settings, IM tweaks, browser preferences... everything is set up just the way you like it.

Most backup software out there treats your data like big, faceless chunks of memory. They perform brute backups of your hard drive without regard to the fact that you did, really, truly, have things just the way you liked 'em!.

Handy Backup is a different kind of backup application. It's fully extensible, featuring free plug-ins that are designed to completely backup not only data, but also the settings, playlists, skins, and other specifics of the individual applications that you've tweaked to perfection.

Handy Backup includes plug-ins for all of the popular programs (such as Outlook and Windows Mail), and if you don't see what you need, you can actually create your own plug-in (as an XML specification) for that special app.

Out of the box, Handy Backup is ready to go to work safeguarding your data, documents, photos, browser bookmarks, and email messages - either in a run-once situation or as scheduled events. Your options include the ability to backup to local media, such as a CD, or to offsite storage like a secure FTP site. Users can also backup to DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD with supplemental plug-ins.

As if backing up to local media, local servers, and offsite locations weren't enough, all users of Handy Backup can also take advantage of the Novosoft Remote Backup Service. Think of it as super-duper-remote-always-on backup, with unlimited storage in a highly secure web server that's fortified against technological and natural disasters, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
