Now we can start our discussion about the software.

It offers a large collection of tools and advanced features, in my review I will try to explain and clarify the important features. Full discussion of all the program features is beyond the scope of this review
The program offers you everything you need for professional data management and system administration options which had never before been possible. It depends on stepped wizard system to help you do all complex features in a simple easy way like a professional even if you are a beginner. You can do maintenance of your system within a few mouse clicks

System & data backup:

Using the program, you can do back up of the entire Windows system, individual partitions or selected Password protection keeps sensitive data safe from unauthorized access.
If you want to keep your data secure, the program supports password protection of your data and even encrypt drives with BitLocker.
You will need to start with the tab: ”backup and restore” then select backup to virtual drive. The stepped wizard will pop up and let you go in steps that are well arranges and self explanatory. You will first select the backup mode (files, email, documents, media, operating system or volumes), then specify the backup objects whether the whole hard drive or certain partition. Next, you will need to specify some details as the name, destination and description of the output image, finally you can either select to backup now or later on. If you select to backup later, you will create a script that will help you to complete your backup later. The scripting engine can be used to automate frequently used operations and benefit from the variety of virtual backup containers which simplify work with virtual environments.

The script generation settings let you add the location to store the script, script comment and script options, that’s all!
You have many built in advanced backup options such as sector and file-based, differential or incremental backups (to include the changes done to your system since the last image or backup is done) or special file complements.

You can save the backup image to many locations. For example local mounted or unmounted partitions, external mounted storage, Backup Capsule (secured hidden partition on the HDD),  external media (CD/DVD), network drive, FTP/SFTP server. The external storage and network options offer better data protection
You can also create a backup or incremental backup of an offline or online guest machine hosted by Hyper-V Server, and restore later when you need.

The program has many backup utilities that you may need such as manage capsule, check VD integrity, export VD container, and retention wizard for VD (automated backup of entire HDD or partitions).

Export VD container is a useful built in tool that will help you to perform many operations. You can easily convert an existing VD container to some other format. In addition, you can burn a selected VD container to a removable media (for example; CD, DVD). You can also create a container of incremental images.
