Easy Backup makes DOS compressed self restoring backup disks. It backs up the named directory together with any sub directories which it may have. Backup parameters are stored in a data file so that subsequent backups can be menu - selected. Easy Backup makes light work of large database backups.
Easy Backup uses the philosophy of "Backup by Subject". Rather than backup an entire hard disk, you make separate backups, for example, of data in the sub directories of a DBMS or documents in the sub directories of a word processor. - Why waste disks and time backing up your Autocad system when you already have master disks for it ! Just tell Easy Backup to backup the sub directories only.

4. Clone Dual Boot Systems:
   • PC Disk Clone can copy hard disk with dual bootable systems. For instance, Windows and Linux within one hard disk can start up successfully in the backup disk.
5. Necessary Tool for Data Rescue:
   • PC Disk Clone can also be used for data rescue. Because hard disk with defective areas always need to be copied to another disk before any recovery procedure. Otherwise, the recovery may cause further defects resulting from the inherent exposure of the recovery operation. PC Disk Clone reduces the exposure to its minimum due to its sector copy mechanism. (Note: Only Sector copy can be used to recover data from hard drive.)
6. Best Choice to migrate Systems:
   • PC Disk Clone is ideal to migrate Windows Systems to new computer with the help of Microsoft Sysprep tool. After a few preparation using sysprep, Migrating Hard Disk Data, as well as eliminating the annoyance of reinstalling Windows and of loosing personal information, will become easy and efficient.

   • Upgrading an old disk with new one is almost the same as migrating system to new computer except the new disk drive will still be used in the same computer.
7. Best Choice For Laptop Installation Backups:
   • PC Disk Clone provides the possibility to create a local backup of an entire system installation for Laptops. If required, a simple restore from the backup partition brings the system installation back into its original state. Therefore, Laptops can create a partition on the unused disk space as a backup of system. After having installed the system, make a copy of the system drive to the backup drive. Then you can restore the original system partition at any time by copying in the opposite direction.
