Now Handy Backup can run as Windows service. This means that upon startup of your computer, Handy Backup won’t load the program’s graphical interface, but all scheduled jobs will run as always. This feature will be great in an enterprise environment. Here’s an example of how it can be used:
- System administrator installs Handy Backup on an employee’s PC.
- Then, he sets up backup and restore tasks and schedules them.
- After that, he enables e-mail notifications, so he can always stay informed about backup status.
- Finally, he turns on operation as Windows service.
With the above steps, the employee’s work data will get backed up absolutely unnoticeably, without any danger that tasks will be removed or modified.
Note: Another very powerful feature of running backup as service is that it doesn’t require the user to be logged into the system. The only requirement is to have a computer turned on, and Windows OS loaded on it.
