Patented backup technology of the new generation.

The core of all WAXAR solutions is the new technology DeviceImage®, protected by EU patent. While the backup solutions in the standard IT environment are predominantly file-based, DeviceImage® follows a different strategy: bit-based. This approach brings enormous advantages.

All file-based backup solutions depend on the operating system. This means they can only work if they are integrated into the appropriate operating system. This results in a further dependency, namely on updates of the operating system. Furthermore, these backup solutions only recognize the data to be backed up if it is available in file form. All other data, for example data from special system areas, are therefore not recognized and are not backed up. This dependency on the operating system entails a further limitation: The backup solutions are inevitably subject to all restrictions and rules of the corresponding operating system. If it locks certain file areas, the backup solutions also have no access to this data. Consequently, they remain unsecured.

With the new technological approach, DeviceImage® is freed from all these restrictions and limitations. The essential thing is that every bit of the information to be saved is important for DeviceImage®. And therefore this technology stands for a one hundred percent loss-free and operating system-independent backup method.

ICP Germany is YOUR partner for industrial computer products from IEI Integration Corp. In addition we also offer alternatives and complementary PC components.

• Waxar EasyImage general
  • What about updates or new features?
    Waxar EasyImage is independent of the computer's operating system. Therefore, normally, no updates are needed. After purchase of our product, you will be informed about any updates in due time.
  • What is the writing speed on your stick?
    The write speed depends on several factors, especially on the hardware constellation like CPU-, BUS-, USB-stack-, throughput, etc. In general, it can be said that with good hardware configuration, a backup of 60GB of data takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • What hardware does the USB drive have? Is there an option also for external SSD, for higher capacity? USB-C?
    All hardware types are possible. It is only important that this hardware is recognized as bootable by the BIOS.
  • What capacity can the WAXAR drive have?
    There is no restriction in this regard.
  • Is it possible to run the restore on another PC?
    The license allows the use of the solution on one computer only. In case of hardware failure, the user can request a temporary, free license to transfer data to a new computer. To continue using the solution, a new license must be purchased.
  • What is the base software? Is the base CLONEZILLA?
    The basic software is our patented proprietary development: DeviceImage.
  • How many backups can be made with one stick?
    This number depends on the storage capacity of the storage medium (USB stick or hard disk) and on the amount of data that needs to be backed up.
  • Does WAXAR back up only the system disk or all disks? Is it possible to select that?
    Waxar EasyImage, in the fully automatic version, detects the hard disk that contains a system partition and backs up all partitions that are occupied with data.
  • Can I also play the data backed up to the hard drive, such as videos, on my DVD player or smart TV via USB?
    The data backed up on the Waxar hard drive is stored as a compressed archive, not as individual files. This does not allow accessing individual files and playing videos on other devices. If individual files are needed, they can be copied to the hard drive manually.
  • Is the backup made exclusively to the supplied hard disk or can it also be made to a storage medium located in the PC system?
    Waxar EasyImage is automated, it saves all backups to the supplied storage media without worrying about disk space. The backups are kept in rotation, oldest backups are deleted if there is not enough space for the next backup.
  • Can I copy or move the backups made on the supplied hard disk to other partitions located in the PC system?
    Yes, you can, but it is recommended to copy only the individual backup archives, but not to move them. Because by the latter the automatic naming for the backup archives can get mixed up.
• Software functionality
  • Is the first backup overwritten when the next backup is performed?
    No, all following backups will be saved in the corresponding sequence as long as there is free disk space available. If our solution detects that the storage capacity is exhausted, the oldest backup will be deleted while the newest one is backed up. This process is repeated over and over again. This automatic management of backups ensures that a certain number of backups are always kept available.
  • Can the backup software Nvme Pcie detect SSD drives and backup?
    Basically, all known SSD drives can be recognized and be recognized and backed up, so also Nvme Pcie SSD.
  • Are only occupied sectors backed up, so that a hard disk, with 60GB occupied can be backed up to the 250GB stick?
    Only sectors occupied with data are backed up. The backup archives are compressed, so that a backup of approx. 60GB of data into a backup of approx. 30GB. The 250GB stick is sufficient for this.
  • When activated, does the stick save the computer data during the current work? And are hard disks connected via USB hard disks also backed up?
    Waxar EasyImage backs up all the data located on the internal system hard disk on your computer. So there will be no other (also via USB connected data carriers) are also backed up. A backup during current work does not take place because the backup only takes place when you initiate it - as described in the manual.
  • What if the hard disk to be backed up is encrypted with a bitlocker?
    The DeviceImage software needs access to the file system to detect occupied and unoccupied sectors. If an encrypted partition is detected with Bitlocker, all sectors will be backed up automatically.
  • Is the backup incremental or only full?
    The Waxar EasyImage license only allows full backups. Other license types can backup incrementally and differentially. These are available on request.
  • I have a very large hard drive but less than 250 GB of data on it. Will this fit on a 250 GB stick or does the stick have to be as "big" as the disk itself?
    Waxar EasyImage detects the amount of data to be backed up and ensures that there is room for at least two compressed backup archives for it. If the amount of data is less than 160GB, a 250GB USB stick is sufficient. For larger amounts of data, up to 330GB or 600GB, larger solutions, WEI-500 or WEI-1000, are needed.
  • Can individual folders be backed up?
    Since our solution acts on the level of Bit&Bytes, individual folders cannot be backed up. If you want to backup individual folders one by one, you can simply copy it manually to the provided hard disk/stick.
• Support
  • What about support when there are BIOS, partition and/or formatting issues?
    Support will of course be provided in such cases and in all other cases where - contrary to expectations - problems should arise.
  • Is there a user manual?
    Yes. This included in every order.
