About MiniTool ShadowMaker
MiniTool ShadowMaker backs up Windows PCs. It can create a system image and restore the machine to an earlier state, back up or sync files and folders, including files that are open, and run backups automatically on a schedule. A backup scheme setting controls how much disk space old backups use.
