How To Operate with Data
Handy Backup works with data organized in items. To backup or restore your data, you need to create an item defining which files to operate with, where to transfer them and when to perform the next operation.

You can easily create a new item with the help of Handy Backup New Item Wizard: press the "New Item" button on the program toolbar and follow the instructions of the Wizard.

At the first step you specify item name and its type. Depending on a selected item type the Wizard will create:


 * Backup item


 * Restore item

Backup Data To backup some files or folders, you need to create a Backup item. Press the "New Item" button on the program toolbar to initiate New Item Wizard. Choose name for the new item and select "Backup item" as its type. Restore Data To restore data from a backup copy, you need to create a Restore item. Press the "New Item" button on the program toolbar to initiate New Item Wizard. Choose name for the new item and select "Restore item" as its type. You can also create a new Restore item by double-clicking an index file in the Windows Explorer. Open Windows Explorer, locate index file (it should have .hbi extension) and double-click on it. Handy Backup will start the New Item Wizard to create a new Restore item for the data specified in the index file.
