I guess one could schedule incremental images at very short intervals too, but most users don’t tend to. In fact, a full featured file sync app will actually backup files in real time, as they are added. With file sync, a schedule can be set up to copy files over at very short intervals, so any new files added will be backed up to external media almost immediately. So, if a disaster occurs between creating images, any personal files added during that period will be lost. Any personal files saved after an image has been created will not be included until the next image is created. Yes, they do, provided they are contained on the drive at time of creating the image. On the other hand, file and folder backups, such as file sync, are all about preserving personal files.ĭon’t all files get backed up in the image backup?


Daniel, image backups are all about the SYSTEM and recovering from a disaster, the fact that any personal files contained on the system partition happen to be included is incidental.
