  • (1888PressRelease) February 06, 2013 - Alliance, Ohio - Novosoft, an international software development company announces the upcoming SDK for their flagship software Handy Backup. First version of the SDK will allow independent developers create plug-ins for Windows applications.

    "Handy Backup was always famous for its extensibility and customizability," said Nataly Sigaeva, head of Novosoft's Marketing Department. "In recent years, we have created over hundred customized versions for partners from very different industries. And now we decided to go a step further and create a platform that will allow third-party developers to integrate our backup technologies into their products, or even create backup solutions of their own."

    In Handy Backup, access to data is provided by plug-ins of different types. By releasing an SDK, Novosoft will allow independent developers to create their own plug-ins and add import-export capabilities to their software. Integration with Handy Backup also lets them use on-the-fly compression, encryption, differential data comparison, and other features.

    "The first version of SDK will let our partners create plug-ins with the use of existing Handy Backup features," said Alexander Rassokhin, product manager of Handy Backup. "For example, if you have a MySQL-based application, the SDK will let you specify a set of rules defining files, registry keys and database tables that need to be backed up, and create a plug-in based on this information."

    At present, Handy Backup allows backing up local and LAN files, Windows Libraries, Windows registry, HDD images, FTP, SFTP and FTPS folders, WebDAV locations, MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL and DB2 databases. The SDK will allow packing these features into separate plug-ins.

    "In the next versions we will add an opportunity to easily add Handy Backup's functionality to third-party applications, and probably open interfaces for our base plug-ins."

    The first version of SDK is due to release in spring 2013.
