Clone

Thread needs solution

Hi,

So I made a backup using clone. So I guess now my backup drive is the same as my c drive. Do I now just make incremental backups to this drive?

Michael,

If you use clone, the result is a disk that is the same as your original disk. You cannot do incremental "backups" with that. Each clone will be a new copy of the disk and will replace any data on the cloned disk.

You should use a disk and partition backup. That uses the same technology as cloning except that the disk data is stored in a temporary container (a TIB file). That way, you can set up your backup as an incremental backup. The first backup will be a full, the following ones will be incrementals.

Make sure you include the entire disk. After you clicked to create your new backup, click on the blue link in the upper right to see mulitple partitions, and again to see whole disks. Check the box for your system disk.
