Handy Backup Editor's Review

Backing up your data these days is critical - its so very easy to accidentally delete, corrupt, lose, or even modify your files. From pouring coffee over your laptop and damaging your hard drive, to having your system infected with viruses or attacked by hackers, data is always at risk. Keeping a back can help avoid such situations and protect you from losing valuable data from your hard drive. There are many different ways to backup your files, and many different applications and utilities that can help you do this. If you do not want to do it manually, Novasoft Handy Backup may be able to make things a little easier.

Novosoft Handy Backup starts with a wizard like interface, walking you through the process. I was initially asked where I wanted to store my backups, either in the Cloud, within my user profile directory on my hard drive, or a custom location such as my own USB disk or FTP server. After selecting local backup, Handy Backup scanned through my system and calculated how many desktop, document, music, picture, and email items I have stored. I was provided with a total number of elements detected, as well as a size in KB and when it was last modified. Using the check boxes down the left hand side, I could easily include and exclude different backup items, ensuring I was only backing up the data I wanted. To see extra details about an element, click Open Details on the far right hand side.

At this point, I clicked Back Up now to start off the process. The wizard disappeared, and I was taken back to the main Handy Backup window. Progress bars indicated how much of each element had been backed up and how much was remaining, and the bottom of the window showed more technical details about what was happening. If the operation was a success, it was indicated on the far right hand side of the window. Clicking one of the individual Backup buttons started the process again, should there be any new files in place awaiting backup.

Overall, Handy Backup seems like a simple to use application to quickly backup files in common locations. If you want to take advantage of all of Handy Backups features, more advanced users can select specific locations to backup and specify how the backup should be carried out. However, from a standard users point of view, it does the job, and does it very well. I feel Handy Backup is slightly overpriced, however the more advanced features which don't form part of the Wizard are probably accountable for this. I should mention however, that Handy Backup essentially just takes a copy of your commonly used storage locations - something many people could do themselves. Maybe you would prefer to backup manually, or use the built in Windows Backup utility, as opposed to forking out for a third party application? Nevertheless, I’ve had no issues with Handy Backup, and would rate it 3/5.
