Hard Drive Copying Software for Windows
Comments: 0
Creating a complete copy of hard drive is one of the most preferable and widespread method of data protection. As long as new threats are constantly appearing (new viruses, malware, etc.), it is important to feel safe that in case of a disaster you won’t lose your data.
Computer backup has two main approaches: file and folder backup and complete HDD image copying. The first approach assumes that your data is restored through the file system. This method allows you to back up individual files and folders, applications, and perform incremental backup.
But this approach doesn’t allow you to back up system drive, which requires you to use sector-based image backup method. Although you won’t be able to restore separate files and folders from the image drive, you’ll have a precise copy of hard drive with boot records, partition table and other information.
