Disaster recovery services allow making some strategy for regular data backup. Therefore, you will always have actual information to restore after crash or to migrate when a need for it will emerge. The Disaster Recovery tool works well with Handy Backup, which can make automatic copies for recovery:
As a disaster recovery solution, Handy Backup can take backup data by scheduled tasks with any defined period. It also allows recycling versions, e.g., deleting an old backup for a newer one once per month.
You can encrypt your disaster recovery data with a built-in algorithm to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, this is a set of protected storage services (such as disaster recovery on cloud) to use.
You can utilize any cloud from OwnCloud private storage to such giants as AWS for disaster recovery images. In addition, you can use local or external drives, direct and protected FTP, or shared drives.
This is no need to distract a user from daily actions during taking backup with Handy Backup as a disaster recovery tool. You can run it with pre-configured backup tasks as a silent Windows service.
If your computer or server cannot start an operating system, you can use a USB recovery drive (created with Disaster Recovery software) to boot it up and run some first-aid applications: partition manager and a recovery tool by itself.
You can create a whole hard drive image (either directly from the Windows version, or via the USB recovery drive) or an image of a single partition, boot-type or data disk, and then restore the snapshot to the same, or a different device, resulting in a complete data restoration.
The Disaster Recovery software tool allows governing all operations with backup and recovery through a simple, Windows-style graphical user interface. In the next video, you can see how simple is to make backup and recovery tasks when you are using the Disaster Recovery software.
This video tutorial will help you set up a backup of a Windows disk image using the Disk plug-in for disaster recovery!
Note: The newest version of a utility has some changes when compared with a video above. The most important change is that the KDE partition manager is available inside the main menu now, not showing itself on a desktop. This is made for protecting from incidental running of this utility by unskilled users.
Along with total image backup, you can save only crucial or vital information as separate backups, from user files to databases to websites and other dynamic structures. When you are using Handy Backup as disaster recovery management software, you can backup and restore these data separately.
Handy Backup preserves uncompressed and unencrypted files in native formats when it copies these files to backup storage. Therefore, you can recover from disaster as few as a single file or folder, just by loading some system (e.g. from a live USB) and copy the file that you need by a standard file manager.

"Handy Backup is a very powerful disaster recovery solution. I have backed up my drives regularly, once per month, with an internal scheduler, and sometimes I have a need to recover one of these drives with Disaster Recovery. Both functions are perfect! It is also relatively quick for such task, and I dream about a full-time, dedicated disaster recovery cloud for restoring my laptop drive from wherever I can go."
