Linux Server Backup Software

The newest version of Handy Backup now has a native compatibility with OS Linux. Latest releases of Handy Backup can run a Linux backup server via the two Linux-based software components, Handy Backup Server and Workstation. The third component containing the graphical user interface (GUI) and called Handy Backup Client, is still a Windows-based solution, completely compatible with the standard Linux Wine emulator.

This technique allows keeping uniformity for all interface components, making the job more comfortable for a user switching between Linux and Windows, especially in heterogeneous infrastructures.

What It Can Do?

The new Linux version has all the functions and options of traditional Handy Backup 7 for Windows, using the Linux kernel without emulation for running tasks. A user can set up Handy Backup locally on Linux machine, or distribute its components in a plain or heterogeneous network.

Controlling Options

Handy Backup provides three methods of controlling for Linux-based tasks: a local terminal using the command-line interface, a remote Management Panel located on some Windows machine connected by network, or a GUI installed locally under the Wine emulator. These methods require a minimal amount of setup before starting.

Proof-testing and Configuring

As Linux backup software, Handy Backup completes a proof test under Ubuntu 14.04, making it fully compatible with freshest versions of Ubuntu and, when possible, with many other Debian-based solutions like Linux Mint. There is the special repository for installing and auto updating the main Handy Backup components via the standard apt package manager.
