DriveClone File Backup monitors file changes. When a change is detected, DriveClone will 

record it and back it up according to your schedule. File backups can be stored locally or 
externally. 

System Snapshot and Hard Drive Imaging are both sector level backup functionalities. System 

Snapshot stores only the changed data sectors into the DriveClone Secure Area. The amount of 
storage capacity required for each snapshot is substantially less than the entire amount of data 

on the hard drive. As a result, snapshots offer a significant savings of hard drive space and an 
increased restoration speed when compared with hard drive imaging or complete disk cloning 
methods.  

Hard Drive Imaging can be used for bare-metal, disaster recovery when hard drive failure is 

encountered. 

A full and incremental backup solution aims to make storing several copies of the source data 
more feasible. To accomplish this, a complete backup is taken initially and then incremental 
backups can be scheduled or ran manually (Incremental backup only stores the files or sectors 

that have changed since the previous full or incremental backup). Restoring a system to a 
certain point in time requires locating the complete backup and all the incremental backups 

taken between that complete backup and the particular point in time to which the system is to 
be restored to.
