Novosibirsk reg., Russia -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2012 -- Novosoft, a company specializing in software development and consultant services, reports the release of a new version of Handy Backup, the software solution for automatic data backup. The utility now features enhanced image backup functionality with extra protection against backup management failures (system and human mistakes in Linux and Windows) and advanced backup notification system. With the novel technologies recently implemented in the latest versions of Handy Backup (FUSE/Linux Knoppix/Rsync/CORBA/VSS, and others), the product has become one of the market's most powerful yet cost-efficient disk imaging software solutions.

"Indeed that is the very case when you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce where the utility is heading on the basis of software changes you can see. Recently, there has been released Handy Backup plug-ins for system backup, for files and folders. Those helped you to copy your OS, whether it is Linux or Windows, in a high-speed storage space saving mode. Now we bring you enhanced disaster recovery, which is protected against almost all sorts of misfortune this type of data protection has been so sensitive previously," said Alexander Prichalov, the head of Novosoft Development Department.

"Whether you internet connection is slow or fails all the time and the system or a person instantly interrupts the backing up, the new disaster recovery will fight that. So, the future? The times when image backups were as cold as an ex-wife’s heart are to end much sooner than you think," added Mr. Prichalov.

The newly released version of the Handy Backup software features enhanced image backup (http://www.handybackup.net/image-backup.shtml ) functionality and advanced data protection manager options. The software helps to create a bootable drive to restore the system from after a major OS crash (for Linux and Windows), even if the hard drive has been physically damaged. The disaster recovery update brings the protection from system and human mistakes in the backing up process: even if the software lose connection with the server while downloading a program component, the new version of Handy Backup will correctly go on as soon as there is the connection.

This functionality adds value to the recently presented system backup feature, which helped to store system files and registry and recover after a crash with no actual hard drive data gone. Also, the efficiency of image backup in the software has been recently boosted with the implementation of several novel technologies (Linux Knoppix, FUSE, and others).

The newly established data protection manager options include smart notification system informing users on the status of data management tasks in the software interface or via email backup notifications. The last ones arrive properly even if the secure SSL is the one used.

Traditionally, the Handy Backup functionality for image backup can be obtained either as a part of Home Professional or Business editions, or independently of the core app, as a standalone utility called Disaster Recovery.
