Stop & Resume:
Backups can be stopped and resumed at any time. This is handy when the computer needs to be shut down, for example.

Only the changes between two backups are actually stored
Reverse Incremental storage for image-based backups (block level)

Special incremental storage for file-based backups (block level)
