Each time Revest runs; new, modified and changed files will be added to the backup. Small files will be taken as a whole file, for faster restoration. However, large modified files can be backed up using Revest’s Block Level Technology. This technology is ideal for large files that undergo slight changes like databases, Outlook email files (PST) and so on. In this type of backup, only changes within the file will be backed up and not the entire file, saving more space and time.
To add more file extensions to the list of the files you wish Revest to back them up using the Block Level technology, please apply the following:
Method 1: From the Revest Suite software
