making an image only uses what hard drive space has been taken. when you clone a drive it copies everything to another hard drive.


you could just do a back up image on a extra hard drive (may only use 7 gb) and still use the extra space for other things. then if you ever need to restore the original drive, you would have the back up.

i usually install windows, update it to the max, then install hoster, then make a back up image on my external 1TB.

i also have a cloned back up hard drive 250 GB just for emergency's!

i have a hard drive back up with all my kma's on it. that you only need to drag and drop files for a back up.
