I purchased Handy Backup in 2011 for my bookkeeping and tax business. Over the years I have explored other backup programs but found they never provided that degree of reassurance and comfort knowing that I could always recover my data for whatever reason.
Handy backup was always my program of choice for its straightforward use but primarily because the backed-up data folders and files were in native format and this was very important for me. Native format eliminates the worry of something going wrong when restoring zipped data, Individual data files can be restored quickly via copy/paste in windows explorer. Handy Backup provides prompt and effective technical support

I’ve been using Handy Backup on my desktop computer for over 10 years. It works great! One of the problems I had experienced with other backup software is that it compressed the whole backup into some series of obscure “volume” files, and it was impossible to retrieve a single file without using the program. What attracted me to Handy Backup is that it copies the actual files into a duplicate structure of folders on the backup medium. Handy Backup has saved me many times when I tried to use an old document to make a new one (I started modifying the original document before doing a “save as” to create the new one). Retrieving the original file is a simple copy and paste from the backup folder (using Windows’ File Explorer). I use the scheduler to run a full backup a couple times a week, and it’s set up to retain the old backups. Selecting the files to be backed up, the destination for the copies, and setting up the scheduler is straightforward and intuitive.I’ve recently been using my laptop more frequently, so I’m installing a second copy of Handy Backup on it. Great program; easy and straightforward to use.
I've used Handy Backup about three years starting with a free version and purchasing a license. It has not failed me. The think I like best is that the files can be stored in their native version for retrieval of a single file or just reassurance that critical files are being captured.
I have used many backup products in my 40+ year IT career, and so far, my favorite is Handy Backup. I have been using Handy Backup for probably 20+ years (starting with version 5.0 or 6.0 I think...). The main thing you want in a backup solution is reliability and predictability. Handy Backup has NEVER once, not in all these years, ever failed, crashed, missed a scheduled backup, etc. We have multiple backups running every day - some full and some incremental, on thousands of files, and never had a glitch. In fact, Handy Backup is probably the only piece of software that I never have to think about or worry about. The setup process is quick and intuitive, and there are enough options to fit almost any use case, without being overwhelming. Easy to set up for any level of IT expertise. And for the price -- Handy Backup is filet mignon on a hot dog budget.
