    Unintelligible file names after clone/migration

    Regarding Migration & Disk Copy --
    I completed a "backup" which I thought meant a clone of my OS on Drive C.
    The Drive C (source drive) also had partitions "Drive D" and a couple of other minor ones.
    After completion, I looked at "Disk Management" and saw only one drive (drive C) represented as it had NO drive D or other partitions.
    Then I looked at File Management (Win-E) and found the following on the target drive:
    hdd-0.pvhd
    hdd-0_e00.100
    hdd-0_e00.101
    etc.
    I was expecting to find an exact clone of my drive C showing the identical files that were cloned.
    What happened to the cloned files?* What are the "hdd files?* What did I do wrong?

    I created a support ticket 8 days ago and Paragon has not replied despite multiple (5) email requests from me. Since their tech support won't help, I'm hoping someone on the forum will be able to.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration.

    These are backup files, something like an archive divided into parts. From this backup you can restore what you saved (disk, partition, files) to the same location or to another.

    Thanks much for the reply, "fireworker"!
    I'm getting from your response that this program doesn't actually clone, it only backs up with a proprietary algorithm.
