Handy Backup Free is perfect if your main purpose is to keep a local copy of important files and folders. It provides an easy way to select important documents and schedule automatic backup jobs that will keep them protected from loss or corruption.

Note: Current version of Handy Backup Free is based on Handy Backup 5.8, which hasn't changed since 2007. Very soon we will release an up-to-date version which will be compatible with paid editions and include all the latest technical achievements. Before that, we recommend that you use the Home Standard edition instead.

Difference Between Free and Home Standard Editions

Handy Backup Home Standard is much more powerful than free edition, as it provides the following features:

  • Full compatibility with Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 7
  • More plug-ins for backing up Documents, Pictures, Music, Skype, and other data
  • More backup destinations: Handy Backup Home Standard lets you back up to FTP servers and optical discs, including CD, DVD and Blu-ray
  • More options: you can take advantage of backup compression, capability to run backup as Windows service, and much more
