SMART Recovery

With SMART Recovery, users can quickly create backups of changed data files
backup on PATA and SATA hard drives (partitioned on NTFS file system) in Windows 7/Vista.
(Note 1) The changed data refers to the data that has been modified, deleted, or newly added since the last backup.
(Note 2) The system will make an automatic backup on changed data only once everyday. If the computer is turned on for
a long time, the backup will be performed at the scheduled backup time. If the computer is turned off before the
scheduled backup time, the backup will be performed on the next boot.
(Note 3) We recommend that you preserve at least 25 percent of the hard drive space to optimize the storage space for the
backups. The backups of the changed data will be stored in the original partition of the data.
