Novosoft: Handy Backup Software Allowing Direct Backup to Google Drive

Novosoft, LLC releases a version of its software solution, Handy Backup.

Along with many other improvements such as an implementation of a TLS encrypting services, this version brings a Google Drive backup feature, allowing direct and stable access to any account located on a Google Cloud. Users can utilize this feature for both backup to Google Drive and saving the content of an account, as well as for restoring data from Google Drive.

“We are recognizing the role of Google Drive in any modern IT infrastructure, including copying and storing files, documents, photos and other data. Therefore, we make a new feature to allow direct Google Drive access for Handy Backup, providing exchanging data between the Gdrive cloud and any other storage accessible for our program. As an example, we can exchange data between Google Drive and some FTP server, or another cloud, such as Amazon S3, or a local drive. Like all other options, the Google Drive plug-in saves data in their native formats, allowing browsing and modifying data just from backups“, tells Anton Chmarak, head, development department, Handy Backup.

Handy Backup Google Drive plug-in provides an access to any Google Drive account used by a particular backup or restoring task. Like other online backup features, it requires initial setup for establishing a connection between a task and a Google Drive account, but after that, it works automatically for a long time, unless a user will change the Google Drive account settings such as password. The Google Drive feature requires no external software such as Google Apps synchronizing utility. It also have no use for a local Google Drive folder, saving a lot of space and efforts when backing up data to and from the Google cloud storage.
