Chapter 3: DriveClone Specific Terminology

3.1 File Backup

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.

3.2 System Snapshot

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 le ss 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.

3.3 Hard Drive Imaging

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

3.4 Full and Incremental Backups

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 incremen tal backups can be scheduled or ran manually (Increme ntal 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 in cremental backups taken between that complete backup and the particular point in time to which the system is to be restored to.

3.5 DriveClone Universal Restore

With DriveClone Universal Restore, there is no need to reinstall the operating system, applications, configuration files, individual files, and folders into the new system with different hardware configuration, or to a virtual machine. With Universal Restore, you can now restore your system on a similar or a different (than original) hardware configuration within a few mouse-clicks.

3.6 DriveClone Secure Area

DriveClone’s Secure Area is a virtual partition which is created from the free space on the hard drive. This location is hidden, protected, and accessible only by DriveClone. The secure area is used to store the system snapshots and the DriveClone Pre-OS. It will not be influenced by most computer disasters, so it ensures your data protection and DriveClone recovery efficiency .
