Why You Will Need to Make Partition Backup?

One of the biggest dangers in the area of computing is a hard disk breakdown: if your HDD fails, it is extremely difficult to get back to work quickly. This is a strong reason to make a Windows backup partition image, from that you can easily restore your system and data when you need it.

Partition Backup Vs Saving an Entire Disk Image

Backup partition to image file often makes much smaller resulting files than a whole drive backup. Therefore, you can place such backup to storage of smaller capacity, e.g., to a common USB flash pen or to a cloud service (such as backup to Dropbox account) without losses or problems.

Avoiding Swap or Dump Backups

Partition backup drive allows avoiding the situation of taking many time and efforts for backing up servitor partitions on an entire drive image, such as a swap file or partition, a backup partition, a system recovery partition, etc. Often, you have no need to save such data as separate backups!
