"It's wise to back up the contents of your hard drive occasionally, and
there's no simpler method than by using an imaging tool like Paragon
Exact Image. There's no messing around with specifying particular files
or folders (and so no worrying about whether you've forgotten anything
important), you simply copy the entire contents of your hard disk to a
local or network drive. It couldn't be any easier.
Of course if you don't have a second hard drive, or a network, then you
might think Exact Image would be useless. But you'd be wrong. The
program can also create a "Backup Capsule" on your main hard drive, a
separate partition that is then used to hold backups. This obviously
isn't as secure as using a second drive (if the main drive fails then
everything is lost), but it will help protect you from most
software-based data disasters.
If even this level of backup seems like too much hassle, then there's
one more Exact Image feature you may find useful. You can optionally
choose to back up just the hard drive Master Boot Record, and its first
track, totalling just a few megabytes in size. If these are corrupted by
accident (or a virus), then your PC won't start any more. Boot from the
bootable CD you can create with Exact Image, though, and you can restore
your system to working order in a minute or two, making this program an
essential part of every PCs disaster recovery toolkit.
Note that this free commercial download will be available until 1st of
November 2006.
Ignore the 'time limited demo' on this page. You need to get a serial

Yes, but does this version do incremental backup? The "SE" in the name
leads me to believe that it doesn't. That and this quote:
"And Drive Backup 8.0 adds new time-saving features, like the ability to
perform differential backups."
If I'm right, then this product is little better than the non-payware
version of XXClone.

Maybe that's why it's a freebie? :)
I can't answer your question except to say that version 6 does not do
differential backups. I have Paragon Hard drive Manager which
includes the image maker but I have never used that aspect of it, no
need. However, I *am* impressed with the other aspects of what I have
which is why I said it was worth getting.

I just checked again. Paragon Hard drive Manager v6 (got it two years
ago) which includes the image maker *does* do incremental backups.
Whether that is also true of the stand alone image maker being offered
I do not know.

Ah, but note the "SE" in the name of the version that's available for
free. IME, that addition to a name means that a program has only limited
features. I will download and examine this offering I guess.
