Although I have tested Xxclone, I'm not totally familiar
with all the ins and outs. Certainly the full backup option
will delete extra files on the destination. I'm fairly sure
the incremental backup option leaves existing files on the
destination partition intact but I suggest you play it safe
and move anything you want to keep onto a partition other than
the target. Although I haven't had any critical failures in
testing on an NT system, you'd do well to heed Kan's warning
that the destination drive may become unreadable. If you've
got data that you absolutely cannot afford to lose, make a
backup first.

Xxclone needs one Primary partition available on the target
drive although you can use either a primary or extended
partition as the destination. I've only tested with a primary
partition as the destination.
