Casper has a feature called Smart Clone. The first time you run it it takes 
a long time to copy to a new drive. After that it's a matter of minutes 
since it scans the drives and only copies any files that were changed or 
added since the last tme. So yes it's incremental in that sense. I usually 
can re-clone each 500gb drive in 3-4 minutes which I do almost daily...at 
least the C Drive.  Twice now I have had C Drive failures....once the drive 
went belly up and once it got infected. Dropped the side of the computer and 
replaced the bad drive with the cloned one from the USB enclosure and was 
back up and running in a couple of minutes

Just yesterday I made a new boot disc for my eeePC 701 using Paragon. I use 
a 2gb Flash Card. When I booted with it I used the Safe MOde No Graphics 
option and it fit the screen perfectly. I stopped there and didn't actually 
do a restore from the Paragon arc file which I have on another 4gb flash 
card, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Seems to me I did the whole 
restore operation a few years ago to test it out and didn't have any 
graphics problems.
