Backing up (Windows PC)

The WD Sentinel server backup is based upon block level de-duplication, a process that
backs up data without unnecessarily backing up the same data more than once. This
powerful process uses less network traffic for execution, provides a full back-up at each
backup time (although it behaves as if it is incremental), and by executing de-duplication
across all client computers, the storage capacity requirements are significantly reduced.
Backup becomes an automatic process for a computer once you install Connector software
on it. With Connector software installed, all volumes and all NTFS data on that computer are
backed up.
