Intelligent Sector

Updated May 20, 2026

In "Options"-->"Advanced", you can set the Backup Method when creating a system/partition/disk backup.

Intelligent Sector Backup: Only backs up the used sector of file systems. This will reduce the size of the image file and backup time.

Make an Exact Backup: This method is also called Sector-by-Sector Mode. This will back up all sectors of the disks or partitions, whether they are in use or not.
