the only other backup programs I've tried are those that came with Windows [up to XP] and they are useless [not flexible enough]. I've used Handy Backup for years. You pointed out an important feature >it allows me to save the files in uncompressed, regular format so I can check that the important stuff actually is backed up properly.< You don't need the program to recover individual files. Handy when the program is on the HD that crashed.

Handy Backup: I updated my 7 year old HB program for only $10 to version 7 and am delighted with the user interface and speed. Supposedly the old serial number works to register it, but it didn't for me. Repeated requests for a new serial# were met with new questions [I had moved the program between my 2 hard drives and that may have looked suspicious to them]. Finally a supervisor sent a serial# today and all is well. His email address ended in .ru and initially ended up in the spam folder.
