Backup Sets

Remote Backup saves most of the information it needs in Backup Sets. Each Backup Set can define a set of files to backup, exclude, or ignore. It contains a schedule for backing up those files, and other options. Remote Backup runs its Backup Sets like programs, all at the same time. You can define Backup Sets with an almost unlimited combination of files, schedules, and options. Remote Backup will run each Backup Set on schedule, independently.

Full Image Backup *

There is one special built-in backup set called Full Image Backup. Selecting this special backup set will let you back up and restore entire drive images instead of files and folders.

Entire drives can be backed up to a Microsoft Hyper-V file called a .VHD file. This file can be directly mounted on any computer through a Windows utility, and it can be restored to any computer, even to new hard drive.
