Traditional backup software saves an entire file no matter how small changes you have made within it.  Thus you have to store big files every day. Patch technology compares two versions of a file and generates a patch file with the changes you have made. In other words this technology allows you to store only a small file with the changes. That often results in 80% to 99% reduction in backup file size!.  Image below illustrates the process.

     Usage of this technology reduces the use of communication lines, discs, tapes, all leading to one thing...  Cost Savings!  Reduce your costs without sacrificing the integrity of your backups.  EaseBackup verifies all patches before it backs up them. It does not require much additional disk space and time.  The patching algorithm manipulates with files at the binary level and can process any file type. Different types of files will yield different patch sizes based on the binary organization of the file.  Click here to see some patch statistics to illustrate this point further.

     When you backup your files at the first time, it's necessary to backup entire files. Once a file has been backed up, patch will work.  EaseBackup automatically detects when it has to use patch mode.

     Restore process does not need any special actions. Do restore as you always do it!
