backup type, sector by sector or data only
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 7:57 am
Hi,
I know a lot has been written about this on the web, but I do not see anything specific to R-DRIVE in your help or forum and it seems some backup software handle sector by sector differently. -Some do smart sector backup, where only sectors containing data are backed up.
Is there any advantage to sector by sector when it comes to bare metal restore, or Is it's primary use for backing up a corrupt hard drive?
In short, can someone please explain the pros and cons of each when done via R-Drive?
