(As stated by Handy Backup)

Handy Backup 4.0 is not a resource-consuming utility.
All you need to start Handy Backup 4.0 is:

  • Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003;
  • Approximately 2MB of free disk space.

You don't need to be connected to the Internet, unless you want to keep your data on a remote FTP Server.

 

The download file for Handy Backup is small: it's size is 1.84MB. This means that anyone will be able to download and use the program very quickly. Once the file is downloaded, all you need to do is double-click on it to launch the installation program.

The installation program itself is very simple and straightforward. All that is required to complete the process was to accept the License Agreement, to give an installation path for the program and to finally check if we wanted a desktop or quick start icon to launch the program. Once this was done, the program was installed in less than 10 seconds.

 

The final options given to you are the automatic launch of the program after the installation is complete and a chance to view the ReadMe file. Here I chose to view the ReadMe file as I thought this would be a fairly complicated program to work and understand, and a little guidance to begin would help me. However, the ReadMe file only contained a list of the new features in version 4.0 along with another list of the main features of the program.

 

That was it. Handy Backup is now installed and can be used.

 

Next we'll run through the program...

Reactions on this item
I agree with the review, it's a great proggy for 30$ I tested a lot of other and I love the possibility to save under muti-zip with password, this way you can't loose the whole backup if corruption occur. :g

I have bought this program a few week's ago, I am 100% satisfied with it and I recomend it!

www.handybackup.net - software for backup to dvd :)
Yep, I never actually worried about all this backup software, but some time ago I decided to back up my photo archive to DVD. I had a plan to test several backup utilities, and as it came to Handy Backup, I surprisingly found out that there are DIFFERENT Handy Backups in the Net.

It took some time for me to figure out that the one I downloaded from handybackup.dotcom (Handy Backup 4.0) seems to be simply one of the earlier versions of HB 5.7 - the one at handybackup.net. Its interface is more complicated and its feature set is noticeably worse than those of Handy Backup 5.7 (by the way, it's available for download at numerous websites created for different languages speakers: handybackup.fr, haendybackup.de, handybackup.ru, etc. - I found this fact quite funny and cute:)) It can backup to dvd (http://www.handybackup.net/backup-to-dvd.shtml), and what about the other features I especially liked the ability to make online backups.

Please mind this mix up, and download the newer version:)
