Handy Backup Server is a comprehensive and reliable backup solution for small and medium businesses.
The utility lets you back up and recover data stored on both central server and remote computers, on a client-server scheme.
Handy Backup Server allows backing up not only individual files and folders, but also creating drive images - backups of operating system and all applications. All workstation backup tasks are fully automated and run with low system priority which allows performing them during work hours.
Comprehensible user interface provides easy step-by-step adjustment of network backup, with options of compression, encryption and flexible task scheduling. E-mail notifications, command line interface and log file generation ease task management by system administrator.
Besides files, folders and HDD images, the program features plug-ins for backing up MS Exchange, MS SQL, D B2 databases and Lotus Notes/Domino data stored on the central server. Also, you can back up Oracle database and ODBC-compatible databases that can be located on both local server and remote workstations.
Data transferred to the central server can be stored on the widest range of backup media: you can backup to FTP, SFTP, Network, FireWire and USB hard/flash drives, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, HD DVD and much more. Detailed online help is available. Centralized workstation backup and an ability of fast system recovery distinguish Handy Backup Server from other network backup software.
