User manual

User Friendly Fault Minimizing Interface

• Graphical representation of the data to gain a better understanding.

A handy Launcher to easily find and run the required tasks.

• Comprehensive wizards to simplify even the most complex operations.

• Resize partitions directly on the Disk Map with the drag-and-drop technique.

• A context sensitive hint system for all functions of the program.

• Previewing the resulting layout of hard disks before actually executing operations (so-called virtual

operations).

Backup Facilities

• Archive Database to help the user easily manage backup images (get properties, add, delete, mount, etc.).

This feature is only available for the Windows installation of the program.

• Support of all present day techniques to store backup images:

- Backup to local mounted/unmounted (without drive letter assigned) partitions;

- Backup to an external mounted storage to provide for a higher level of data protection and system

independence;

- Backup to a special secured place on the hard disk called the Backup Capsule that has an independent system

layout (e.g. a separate partition) and will stay operable should the active file system be damaged. To avoid an

accidental removing or unauthorized access of the backup data, this partition is hidden and thus cannot be

mounted in the operating system;

- Backup to external media (CD/DVD) to guarantee a high level of data protection as long as the backup media is

kept secure;

- Backup to a network drive to stand a better chance of success in case of a hard disk failure;

- Backup to an FTP server to provide a new level of system and data protection.

• Smart Backup Wizard to secure system and data with the minimal efforts possible. With a unique intelligent

work algorithm and a highly intuitive user interface, you can easily back up exactly what you need - the whole

system, e-mail databases (MS Outlook, Express, Windows Mail) media files or office documents of the My

Documents folder, or any other files and folders.

• Sector backup to save not only all on-disk information but also the system service structures. It is ideal for

making a backup image of an entire hard disk or system partitions to guarantee the operating system’s working

capability.

• Differential backup to a sector image to only archive changes since the last full sector-based image, thus

considerably saving the backup storage space. To restore this kind of backup you will require a full image and

one of its differentials.
