Aaaah, but Shadowprotect allows for "incremental clones" that only
looks for changes. It is linked to the full cloning file or the
previous incremental file.
I usually only like to have 3 or so incremental files and then just
reclone the whole thing as the later approach seems to take up more
space then I
would have thought and still isn't super fast. Shadowprotect is
apparently quite snappy compared to some esp at USB3 speeds. I don't
believe any full
resoration on win 7 can be done at USB3 speed as the recovery
environment doesn't support that. I suspect win 8 fixed that, but I
don't know for sure.
Suspect incremental backups of non boot drive may be faster.
Incremental cloner, Mike
