ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard database interface independent of any particular database engine. The special software, known as the ODBC driver, is required to utilize ODBC capabilities.

These drivers are readily available for any DBMS/DBME and are often free or open-source. The list of supported features depends entirely on the specific ODBC driver.

Handy Backup can perform automatic backup through the universal Database plug-in operating with ODBC drivers, ensuring that all features and limitations of the particular ODBC driver, including the possibility of "hot" backup, are supported.

Sample Feature: SQLite ODBC Backup

With the ODBC plug-in, you can easily perform SQLite3 ODBC backups immediately after installing the appropriate ODBC database driver for Windows, enabling seamless SQLite backup. Recent versions of this driver support hot backup functionality for SQLite ODBC solutions on Windows.

Handy Backup is a comprehensive solution for all backup needs, including ODBC backup. The Database plug-in, utilized for these operations, offers the following features:

• Hot backup: If an ODBC driver supports it, the software can execute all backup activities without interrupting the database server.
• Flexible scheduling and administration: With Handy Backup, you can schedule backup tasks to run at regular intervals ranging from months to minutes. Additionally, you can run the application as a Windows service and receive email notifications.

• Encrypting, compressing, and preparing data for storage: These settings enable robust data protection by implementing strong encryption, compression of saved copies, and the option to execute utilities before or after the backup task.
• A variety of storage options: Handy Backup supports storing data on local, removable, or network drives, FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers, private and commercial cloud services (including S3 and WebDAV-based clouds), and other solutions.

Handy Backup enables database backup for not only network or corporate-level users but also standalone computers. We hope this approach helps users of all kinds organize their backup workflow according to their specific needs!

In addition to the common ODBC-based Database plug-in, Handy Backup offers specialized database plug-ins. These plug-ins differ from the Database plug-in in the following ways:
