Handy Backup Software Providing OwnCloud Backup WebDAV Client

Handy Backup provides the WebDAV plug-in as the OwnCloud backup tool, as well as a complete set of backup functions, methods and utilities realizing any particular strategy to backup OwnCloud data.

Users can utilize their OwnCloud server backup vaults as storages with Handy Backup solution, or install it directly to OwnCloud servers.

Novosoft, LLC completes detailed testing of its data-keeping software, Handy Backup, for compatibility with OwnCloud offline storage solutions. Using the standard WebDAV plug-in, Handy Backup provides an access to OwnCloud server instances either as backup storages or as data sources for saving OwnCloud files, settings and other information to another place (such as an external drive).

“The OwnCloud solution contains its own WebDAV interface, which is fully compatible with the appropriate plug-in for Handy Backup software. Using Handy Backup with Windows or Linux-based solution, a user can set up and fine-tune OwnCloud backup tasks using WebDAV connections directly without a bridge or extra software. All functions of Handy Backup, such as MySQL and other database backup, saving incremental and differential backups, encrypting, scheduling and other, are also fully compatible with OwnCloud data and tasks,” said Anton Chmarak, project manager, Handy Backup team.

The WebDAV plug-in for Handy Backup connects any task to a cloud storage supporting WebDAV (including OwnCloud accounts and server instances) on either the step two, which allows using the cloud as a data source for backups, or the step three, where you can utilize a cloud as a backup storage.

The WebDAV plug-in requires no extra software or bridge services to connect to OwnCloud, including offsite connections. Working as an OwnCloud backup client, Handy Backup provides a full set of featured tools for making quick and effective backups, including compressing, encrypting, partial backups, scheduling tasks for a time or for an event, reporting task activities and other functions.

The Handy Backup tool can utilize OwnCloud storage for saving any data types, such as databases, disk images, user files and folders, libraries or FTP/SFTP/FTPS content. A user can install the software to any computer when using the OwnCloud instance via network, or set it up locally to make an internal OwnCloud server backup with different tools than WebDAV.
