A New Version 7.7.2: New System Recovery Tool, “Hot” Backup of Hyper-V and Native Data Format Improvements

October 08, 2015

Dear friends! We are releasing a new version of Handy Backup, marked as version 7.7.2.

Starting from this version, you can use the new System Recovery tool to save system images in a VHD (VirtualBox) format and perform a hot backup of Hyper-V machines.

We are also renewing the usability of some features already existed.

As an example, Handy Backup now preserves file attributes such as date and time of last changing for all data backed up without rewriting formats. Other tools, such as a "Network" instrument, have some improvements, too.

The System Recovery Tool

This new function allows taking snapshots of a Hyper-V virtual machine without stopping it. This can be especially useful for servers with arrays of Hyper-V machines, allowing backing up any quantity of these machines without interfering into a work of a physical node.

"Hot" Hyper-V Backup

This new function allows taking snapshots of a Hyper-V virtual machine without stopping it. This can be especially useful for servers with arrays of Hyper-V machines, allowing backing up any quantity of these machines without interfering into a work of a physical node.

Keeping Native File Attributes for Backups

Now the program does not change date and time attributes for all file backup and folders. This allows sorting data in the backups using the traditional file management tools (such as Windows Explorer) in the more effective way, selecting and working with data just from backups.

Improving Overall Efficiency and Reliability

We are improving the speed and stability of some tools and components in each new version, and the version 7.7.2 is not an exclusion. This version significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of a network backup tool, according to wishes of many users providing us a feedback.
