This app saves the changes that have been made to a data storage device since the last full backup. This type of backup is called a differential backup because the backup file only contains the changes. The desired status can then be restored together with the full backup.
Since a differential backup always determines the difference to an existing full backup, this must be available and specified. A separate image is then created that contains the identified changes compared to the full backup.
Apart from that, the operation of "Save Changes" works very similarly to the full backup.
This app complements the "Full Backup" app because it can be used to save changes since the last full backup.
