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.

- “Everyone knows they're supposed to back up data on a regular basis, but it's such a Herculean task that we tend to put it off. Enter Handy Backup, a nifty, easy-to-use utility that employs a helpful wizard to guide you through the usually painful backup process.”- PC World Magazine
- “Like flossing, backing up data is something most people know they should do but don't--even though myriad computer problems can deprive you of years of work, e-mail, family photos, and more. Handy Backup packages this all-too-technical-sounding task into a very nice interface, which can best be described as friendly without being patronizing ... A nice interface and complete set of options make this one of the best backup utilities we've seen.”- Download.com Editor

- “Most of computer users understand it's necessary to make reserve copies of important documents and files. But only 10% of users actually backup their files. Others don't backup files or perform backups at long intervals. As a result, significant data, time, energy, and in the end, money could be lost.”- BackupReview.info

I am actually going to consider using this application now for some of my own personal needs. Your Website is very well laid out and you provide an exhaustive amount of information for the user to read. Definitely a good value for the price.”- Scott Swedorski, founder of TUCOWS
