Image for dos, windows or linux will do incremental backups.
YOu've just got to make the right settings otherwise it may be slow,
in the manual for instance when in dos it says to select direct bios
if you are using a sata drive.
They give you lots of options, and if your not awsare of what each
does and expects, performance could be degraded, but I believe image
to be the most accessible and versatile backup utility we currently have.
Unless you want to deal with a windows only solution, which I think
is no complete solution at all like casper, which is a good tool, the
best way to do fast back-ups is to not put too much junk on your
system drive, small to reasonable sized boot partitions and keep your
data elsewhere or it will always take you forever.
To put this in perspective for you, about a gig a minute is average I
get way better than that, but I have a killer system, but most modern
systems depending on numerous factors, drive interface, cache on
drives, frqagmentation, etc can manage a gig a min;ute.
Now consider you might have 20 or 30 gigs or even 60 to 100 gigs on
your hd, well, you get the picture, your pretty much stuck doing
incremental backups, which image can handle for sure, but the best
solution is to only have to back up a small amount of system data.
So I keep my c drive neat and clean, and my images will generally fit on a dvd.
Considering that our modern operating systems have being big sloppy
hogs, that's getting to be a hard feat even with a clean system,
Billy boy's got so much fricking junk in windows before you even do
anything or install any apps.

Hi, has anyone ever used this backup software with window-eyes 7,x? it is
very fast so I am told. I currently use
Image for Windows by TeraByte Unlimited
I am currently looking for something a bit faster as there are a lot of nice
imaging applications out there with incremental backups used with a nas now.
Thanks.
