• File backup to save information you really need. If you only care about safety of your e-mail database or
particular documents and are not willing to waste the backup storage space, this very feature will suit you at
most. Besides an advanced system of filters will help you automate the process of building up contents of the
future backup image.
• Incremental backup to a file image to only archive changes since the last full or incremental file-based image.
An incremental image is smaller and takes less time to create, but you will require the initial full image and all of
its incrementals to restore the latest point of this kind of backup.
• File backup to a sector image. It is a unique technology on the market so far that bridges two principally
different approaches of the data backup: the file-based backup and the disk imaging backup. With its help you
can now create a sector-based backup of your system to get it back on track in minutes in case of a virus attack
or a hardware malfunction and then just make file-based incremental images to the previously created sector-
based backup to keep updated only information that is critical for you. Thus you will considerably save your
system resources.
• Cyclic backup to automate the backup of separate partitions. It is an ideal option if you want to establish a self-
acting data protection system.
Cyclic Backup is only available for the Windows installation of the program.
• Synthetic backup to change any property (merge a given differential image with its full image, split/un-split,
compress/de-compress, etc.) of an existing backup image without carrying out a physical backup operation.
• Bootable Backup Capsule to get the choice to launch the Linux or PTS DOS recovery environment every time
you start up the computer. With its help you will be able to run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to
get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes.
This feature is only available for the Windows installation of the program.
Restore Facilities
• Restore an entire disk, separate partitions or only files you need from the previously created backup image.
• Restore with Shrink to restore a backup image to a free block of smaller size taking into account only the
amount of actual data of the image.
• Adaptive Restore to successfully migrate a Win2K+ physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P) by
allowing automatic injection of all required drivers and the other actions crucial for a migration of this kind.
Copy Facilities
• One Button Copy Wizard to carry out such a technically complicated operation as cloning of hard disks just by
pressing one button.
• Partition/hard disk copy to successfully transfer all on-disk information including standard bootstrap code and
other system service structures, thus maintaining the operating system’s working capability.
