Did You Mean HandyBackup.NET? A Beware-of-Fakes Note

Sometimes people get Handy Backup website URL wrong.

The name is OK to get. You hear it from people who use and like the product. You read it in magazines, blogs, tech news websites, and elsewhere on the web. But knowing the name doesn’t guarantee you are protected against product clones.

We are HandyBackup.NET. But there is also HandyBackup.COM out there on the web, and they are NOT US.

Not only do they run an old-fashioned website reminding of early 2000s, they provide an out-of-date backup software of highly doubtful quality.

Our support team gets tons of weekly calls and messages about numerous problems and inappropriate operation of the .COM’s product from people confusing the two of us.

So, if you are heading for handybackup.COM, that’s not us. We are HandyBackup.NET, smart automated backup software for your Android device, PC, computer network, and servers.

Be careful, when you choose a data protection tool.

P.S.: as the matter of fact, there are several options for you to share your 2c and help the true Handy Backup to be recognized properly:

Be aware that HandyBackup.COM is not us.

Block handybackup.COM in the search results with the use of a personal blocklist extension for Chrome.

Tell your friends who might get interested in a product like ours, that .NET and .COM stand for two different software products.

Happy backups!
