Drive Backup allows saving backup images in the Backup Capsule, to local or network drives, to physical partitions (without drive letters assigned) or burning them to CDs/DVDs.
While the easiest way is to keep the backup image on the hard drive, it is not the best way of ensuring data safety. Of course, this protects you from accidental data deletion, or loosing data because of system failure, but it would not help you if something happens to the hard drive itself.
Keeping your backup image on DVDs or CDs (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW) makes you independent of any troubles with your computer. You can easily keep the backup image up-to-date with differential backup feature.
Drive Backup provides the direct backup to DVD/CD with no third-party burning software required: just choose the DVD/CD drive as a target and start the process. Moreover, Drive Backup allows creating bootable CD/DVD backup archives, so that in case of unbootable system you could just take the DVD/CD with the backup image, boot from it and restore everything you need.
While backing up your system to DVD/CD you can:
- Encrypt the backup image and sets the access password;
- Compresses the backup image contents (you can choose the compression level);
- Create multivolume image when you need more that one CD or DVD;
- Automatically erase rewritable disks (CD/DVD-RW) if they are not empty (you do not need to stop the backup process to clean the disk);
- Make bootable DVD/CD backup archive.
