Three weeks after releasing Handy Backup for Yandex.Disk, Novosoft LLC today launched an add-on for Handy Backup that helps users back up PostgreSQL databases in a simple and convenient way.
Some of the salient features of the PostgreSQL backup function of Handy Backup are:
- The advanced Database Backup plug-in uses the Hot Backup technology to let users back up PostgreSQL tables located on both local and remote computers without stopping them.

- The software can be launched as a Windows service and performs backups on time without needing the user to log in.
- Backup functions are carried out in the background at good speed by a Multi-threaded transfer engine that keeps the system resource consumption minimal.
- Handy Backup provides assured protection for backups: all copies can be saved with advanced encryption and can be protected by password.
- PostgreSQL backups could be saved to hard drives, local and remote servers including FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers, WebDav storage, and popular cloud storages such as Amazon S3, Google Drive and others.
- All copies could be saved with ZIP-compression to minimize required storing space.
- The Database Backup plug-in lets users back up MySQL, make Oracle backup, copy MSSQL, back up MS Access, back up DB2, backup FoxPro, backup Interbase, and other databases.
