There are a few different methods of backing up data.

  • Drive Image
  • Full Backup
  • Incremental Backup
  • Differential Backup
A Drive Image includes everything on your hard drive in one (or a couple of) package. If you ever have to replace the hard drive, all you need is the software you used to create the image, and the Image file. With that, your computer will be restored to the exact same condition as when the backup was made. However, Each time you create a new image, it will be full size.
