Easy Start for Successful Data Backup & Backup Software
Ever found yourself in the like situation? Think there is a remedy for such disasters? Well, surely there is and most probably you already know the answer – backup software. So, if you have already realized the whole gravity of the moment and want to skip this part of your life when everything digital you used to have is gone, let’s discuss the exciting issues of data backup.
Yes, it is not that simple as to decide that you finally need backup software. There are many pitfalls on the way to finding perfect, suitable for you, backup application. You will need to read at least a couple of backup articles scattered around multitude of web sites. You will need to search for the latest backup reviews. You will need to look through and perhaps subscribe to several backup news feeds.
Sounds like too much of info for starters, huh? The point is that the decision you need to make is highly important, and only this serious approach will save you the costs and allow you to learn how to backup successfully. This knowledge will prove useful, because as you may already know computers are not perfect, hard drives can fail, not mentioning human mistakes or natural disasters.
So, in order to find the best and most appropriate backup methods you have to surf the Web for a while. Before you finally pick a backup software title you need to learn such things as remote backup service, backup schedule, backup storage and many more.
For instance there are three different types of backup scheduling, and all with strange names like “Tower of Hanoi” or “Round Robin”.
Another important issue is choosing the correct media for storing data backup. You can select from a long line of floppy disks (FD), hard disk drives, USB flash drives, optical disks that include all sorts of CDs and DVDs, remote FTP servers, different sorts of memory cards, and finally remote backup services. What kind of backup software to purchase? Is there free online backup software? Desktop backup application or online backup? All these questions can drive you crazy if you don’t have a clue from where to start.
Fortunately, there is a site www.backupschedule.net that provides all this information and actually offers much more in a very convenient and fluent form. All backup info is very structured and is divided into the categories with the explanatory texts that carefully explain all the delicate points of backup process.

January 21, 2009
Novosoft, an international IT-consulting and software development company, announced the release of a new version of Handy Backup – data backup and disaster recovery utility targeted for enterprises exploiting IBM's DB2 data servers.
"It's been years since our company has become IBM Premier Partner, and we are happy to have our relationship further strengthened with the new product," said Alexander Prichalov, head of Novosoft product department. "Handy Backup is a shining example of how investments in knowledge can make a program grow to one of the most popular solutions in its market. We hope that enterprises that choose IBM DB2 data servers will find Handy Backup greatly useful and beneficial for their businesses."
The first steps into the market of enterprise backup software have been taken by Novosoft roughly two years ago when the company released three plug-ins for Handy Backup that allowed safeguarding data of ODBC-compatible databases, Lotus Notes/Domino and Microsoft Exchange Server. In May, 2007 the company's product line has been enhanced by the introduction of Handy Backup Server which also allowed backing up networked workstations on a client-server scheme.
"What distinguishes us from our competitors is that we offer a reliable solution priced lower than all similar products," said Mr. Prichalov. "This is achieved due to a unique plug-in-based architecture used in Handy Backup, which allows every user receive a utility tailored for his own needs – without paying for functions that he never uses."
