Handy Backup 3.9 - great tool that saved my Brain! I have been using Handy Backup 3.9 now for about ten days. This is the most efficient backup system I have used. I wanted to backup each of my PersonalBrain 3.0 Brains. So I selected in Handy Backup c:/mybrains/ and identified that I wanted to backup three times a week to a destination on the Internet. I have been working on my machine all week and I have not noticed in the background anything going on. But each time I look Handy Backup's log, it registers that it has completed the backup for today. It was put to the test today. I did something stupid with my Google Brain that I am developing as part of a Verity project, and I needed to go back to what I had yesterday. Handy Backup had made a complete Backup of the Google Knowledge Brain at 5:25am this morning. It was simple to restore from the menu on Handy Backup and bingo within minutes, my files were all as they were when I had finished working yesterday.
