Backup & Restore
Smart Backup	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
Differential Backup	Good for regular sector backup, as it only archives changes since the last full sector-based image, and save considerable backup storage space
File Increment	Good for regular file backup, as an incremental archive is smaller and takes less time to create, but you will require the initial full archive and all of its increments to restore the latest point of this kind of backup
File Complement	Our unique technology that backs up OSs on a sector-level to get it back on track in minutes, and then make file increments to update only critical information and saving considerable system resources
Synthetic Backup	You can change any property (merge a given differential image with its full image, split/un-split, compress/de-compress, etc.) of an existing archive without carrying out a physical backup operation
Cyclic Backup	Establish an automatic data backup that is fully compliant with the Set-and-Forget Backup Policy
Backup to FTP/SFTP server	Offers a new level of system and data protection
Backup Capsule	An independent system layout that will stay operable should the active file system be damaged, granting an additional level of security to the archives it contains. It can be bootable

Selective Restore	You can extract files and folders from an archive without the need to restore the whole archive
File System Optimization
