There are several programs to copy a disk image. What we have selected a complete picture of our C: drive to an external hard drive in about one minute per gigabyte. The mixture can vary depending on thefiles and the backup media.
Although we are a full backup, which takes a long time, and restore individual files is complicated, so as to pursue a different strategy for the securing of our rapid days of data per day.
