He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did

I guess my only question then would be (as usual) does it do incremental cloning? Or at the least, incremental backup?

XXCopy used to be able to do full incremental clones back in the W98 and ME days. Then when MS switched to the NTFS file system in XP, it no longer was able to do so completely (was unable to copy files which were in use.) So Pixelab came up with XXClone which uses Windows VSS:
The free version of that program won't do incremental, but the $ware version of it will.
I have two hard drives in my computer and I don't use RAID (although this computer has that capability.) I much prefer to use XXCopy to clone one drive onto another as a backup, but every once in a while I do a full clone using the freeware version of XXClone.
It would be real nice if there was a freeware cloning program which used VSS and could do incremental clones. However, that seems to be the holy grail that programmers hold out on so that you'll pay for their software. And I can't blame them for that either. Still, I can always hope...

But it is cloning on FS level, i.e. not what I had in mind.
XXClobe I do not know, but with VSS is possible to make
partition sector cloning.

Depends on what works for you eh!
I do not find the need to perform incremental backups. When I decide to make a permanant change to my system, I load my last clean image and make the changes and re-image.
In between that, all of my data files and portable programs with all their settings are backed up daily to an external HD. When I reload my last clean image to make new updates, I do so...make the updates and resync my data and portable files to the new image. No need for incremental.

Differential and incremental backups are "smart" backups that save time and disk space by only backing up changed files. But they differ significantly in how they do it....

I suppose I need not to be told what they mean. :-)

So you know the answer to your questions.

That's why I mentioned this one a couple of days ago:

I was wondering if you were going to catch that.

So if you don't think it is the best, why wouldn't you use what you determine is the best. There are actually three top programs worthy of listing as the best in this category. The one with the most features has usability issues the one with less features doesn't have. If the task is purely full imaging, Macrium is the best. If you must have incremental backup, Paragon is the best though beware, sometimes an image doesn't restore.
