The portable solution supports all the sophisticated backup strategies you'd expect from an enterprise-grade solution: incrementals forever and synthetic full images reduce storage requirements while maintaining fast recovery points, while rapid delta restore recovers images in minutes or even seconds by only restoring changed data blocks. The rapid delta clone feature similarly increases cloning speed by copying file system deltas rather than entire volumes.
