DriveClone Image 
A DriveClone image is a file containing a complete copy of a computer’s hard drive or 

partitions on that hard drive. With this image, you can transfer the contents of a hard drive 
to a portable medium such as a recordable CD/DVD, USB drive, or to another hard drive, 
for later restoration when needed.   

•  Recovery CD/DVD 

The Recovery CD/DVD allows users to restore their system by inserting this disc into their 

CD/DVD-ROM drive. Once the system is booted up, the Recovery CD/DVD will restore the 
system automatically based on the content contained on the Recovery CD/DVD.   

•  Clone (Copy) Partition/Drive 

The term "cloning" refers to the physical reading of all sectors of a source partition / disk 

and the subsequent writing of this raw sector information to the corresponding sectors of 
a destination partition or disk. The size, file system formats, brand of the source 
partition/disk and target partition/disk can be different. 

• 

Secure Area 
The Secure Area is a Virtual Partition on the primary hard drive. It uses dispersed free hard 

drive space to create a logically continuous storage area. This area is hidden in Windows 
and protected and accessible only by DriveClone. 

• 

System Snapshot 
System Snapshots are incremental points-in-time of a computer system’s state at a given 

moment. DriveClone monitors all sector-level changes from the last Snapshot and writes 
any changes to a new Snapshot. This backup usually takes only seconds to complete. 
Snapshots offer the quickest way to restore a damaged Windows system to a working 

state. 

• 

The system partition refers to the disk volume that contains the hardware-specific files that 
are needed to launch Windows (for example: Ntldr, Boot.ini, and Ntdetect.com). On 

dynamic disks, this is known as the system volume. 

• 

The boot partition refers to the disk volume that contains the Windows operating system 
files (by default, in the WINDOWS folder) and its support files (by default in the 
WINDOWS\System32 folder). The boot partition can, but is not required, to be the same 

partition as the system partition. There will be one (and only one) system partition, but 
there will be one boot partition for each operating system in a multi-boot system. On 

dynamic disks, this is known as the boot volume. 

• 

Universal Restore allows you to restore your system partition and active partitions to 
different hardware configurations or virtual machines, such as a replaced motherboard or 

hard drive controller.
