Hello everyone!

I am wondering about the different backup options or some general differences and look for a proper understanding of backup strategies. I can't find any proper documentation other than the online user guides, but they're very practical or hands on and don't give any further information.

So:
How does a system backup differ from a hard disk backup? On a conservative 1 disk/partition system, a system backup isn't smaller than a disc backup, so what's the difference?

I imagine that the different clones provide files as they are on the disk/partition, while the backup options create hasleo image files that need to be handled by hasleo.


How do you backup your computer containing personal data and some software licenses: Do you regularly create system backups? Backup the whole disk? Or just a system backup once and then file backups?

Thanks everyone

How does a system backup differ from a hard disk backup?

When backing up the system, Hasleo itself determines which disk partitions belong to the operating system. The disk may have other partitions and unallocated space (recommended for SSDs), they are not included in the created image.

How do you backup your computer containing personal data and some software licenses: Do you regularly create system backups? Backup the whole disk? Or just a system backup once and then file backups?

Just create a full system image, three days later create an incremental system image, a week later create a differential system image, etc. There is no point in additionally creating a backup of the files.
