Differential backup

Differential backup allows users to copy files created or changed since the last full or incremental backup. It does not mark files as having been backed up. If you are performing a combination of full and differential backups, restoration of files and folders requires that you have the last full as well as the last differential backup.



Testimonials and User Comments


One of the drives in my raid array (which is my system disk) got a broken connector. Turns out Serial ATA connectors are as weak as crap. Anyway. Luckily, I had made an image using Acronis True Image 7.0. Western Digital replaced my drive, but then I had to hold my breath and HOPE that Acronis True Image would restore correctly. Well, the whole process was painless and worked like a charm. Especially impressive because I restored from an external USB 2.0 drive. Thanks! If I would have had to RE-install all those programs, and REset all those preferences, etc. it would have been a Nightmare! Thanks for making a product that does what it’s supposed to do. And I didn’t have to install .net framework! or whatever it is, like Drive Image would have forced me to do.
