Novosoft Handy Backup Software Providing OneDrive Backup Plug-in

Novosoft, LLC releases the update of its data-safekeeping solution, Handy Backup.

The key feature of this release is an introduction of a plug-in for backing up data to OneDrive cloud storage, turning Handy Backup into a full-scale OneDrive backup software with all functions of automation and backup controlling.

«Now our users can backup to OneDrive or save all the needed information from OneDrive accounts to different storages such as Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP or local drive. The interface of a new plug-in is a part of the Handy Backup standard GUI, requiring no bridge services or third-party software solutions for work. The new feature provides OneDrive automatic backup in a direct mode, without storing copied data to a local drive folder, which can save a lot of drive space and working time for Microsoft OneDrive backup», tells us Anton Chmarak, main developer, Handy Backup team.

The Handy Backup OneDrive plug-in controls the transfer of data from or to OneDrive cloud using the direct access to OneDrive, instead of utilizing some bridge web service or a local OneDrive backup folder synchronized with the cloud storage via the dedicated OneDrive app. This method allows data transferring speed as well as security, removing all unnecessary ‘stops’ from the process of OneDrive backup.

Users can apply this plug-in both as the data destination for their backups and as a source for copying the OneDrive content to another place. All control and management functions of Handy Backup such as file filtering, incremental and differential backup, storing versions and time-stamping, scheduling and running other programs along with a task are compatible with the OneDrive backup plug-in.
