O&O DiskImage offers The Fastest Way to Create Disk Images for System Recovery Recovery.

You can create a disk image or simply clone a drive of a complete systems quickly and easily. Once the backup image or clone drive is made, you can restore the disk image file quickly a whenever a crisis involving data loss occurs.

No more time consuming of rebuilding a crashed PC with many hours of software installation and configuration, saving you hours or even days of downtime.

Features and Benefits:

One-click-imaging

One-click imaging is the fastest and easiest way of creating a complete image of all your data and settings, including the system partition. One-click imaging is especially useful if you are using O&O DiskImage for the very first time or have never created an image of your computer.

M.I.R.- Machine Independent Restoration

The Machine Independent Restoration technology allows you to perform restoration of system images on differing types of hardware. This means that a restoration of a system images or clones can be carried out not only on devices with identical hardware, but on ones where, for example, the motherboard or processor has been replaced. You can read more about this in the document "Machine Independent Restoration".

Email notification about the running of tasks

The notification feature is an option that will keep you informed about the status of a task such as the running of a job. You'll also be immediately notified about errors so that you can identify and resolve them faster.

Improved user guidance with the Information Bar

The Information Bar guides you through selected tasks and lets you know what to do next. It'll also provide important information about the running of tasks. You also have the option of hiding the Information Bar.

Imaging while system is in operation

O&O DiskImage now allows you to create reliable images of individual disks and entire systems without interfering in server operation or the user's activity. The Snapshot function with integrated buffer memory guarantees that imaged data remains exactly the way it was when the image was created: Changes to the data made by applications or users will have no effect on the image being created. This is the only way to ensure consistent images from systems that must be available without interruption on a permanent basis.

Imaging methods for all purposes

Various imaging methods allow the image to be adapted for use as the need arises. You get a space-saving image by selecting the setting "Used sector". On the other hand, if you want to rescue data from a damaged hard disk, we recommend a forensic image whereby all sectors will be imaged exactly as they are allocated, including their contents.

Conveniently work across a network

O&O DiskImage gives you the option of saving an image on network drives. All you have to do is make a network authentication. The truly special feature of the O&O DiskImage Workstation and Server Editions is their interface with O&O Enterprise Management Console. You can install and plan your jobs for O&O DiskImage from one central location within the network. Further information can be found in the chapter Additional properties of the Server and Workstation Editions.

Clone drive

This feature will allow clones of entire disks or individual drives to be used in place of their originals. Cloning will give you exact replicas of disks or individual drives, including the data stored on them, but without creating any image files.A clone does, however, require considerably more storage space than an image. Unlike images, no incremental or differential clone can be created as a way of reducing the data volume. What's more, a clone cannot be compressed and/or encrypted to make data unusable for non-authorized users, the way images can.

Job management for automated, periodic imaging

O&O DiskImage lets you schedule tasks very easily.With the help of a clearly laid-out Wizard, you can arrange for your data to be imaged automatically at specific intervals.

Restoration of entire computers and individual drives

Restoring your data is just as easy as creating an image. To restore data drives, just start O&O DiskImage under Windows. If you want to restore an entire computer, including its operating system and all applications, run O&O DiskImage directly from the Start CD. The supplementary, integrated system recovery tools even offer you the chance to restore the original system and identify errors. A functioning operating system is not needed for starting O&O DiskImage directly from CD.

Restoration of individual files

You can also quickly and easily restore single files from an image. Just mount drives from the image as virtual drives. Doing this will allow you to copy files and folders from the image onto existing drives. Making changes to the image, however,such as deleting or adding files, is not possible.

Transfer system environment onto a new computer

O&O DiskImage can also make your life easier when installing/configuring newly acquired computers. After you've setup your computer, image the entire system and then transfer this image onto all additional machines.

Using the Command Interpreter (Script capability)

The O&O DiskImage Command Interpreter allows you to manage disks, partitions, volumes,and/or images using command files. All scenarios directly or indirectly depicted by O&O DiskImage can re-enacted in that way be . This function is only available for the Workstation and Server Editions. The PDF about the Command Interpreter is included with delivery, and provides an overview of all commands and their possible uses.

Supports the most current technologies

O&O Software is always right on track with the latest developments in technology. All current Windows systems and 64-bit versions are supported, which means the creation and restoration of images can be done even faster. DiskView A new interactive graphical display provides an overview of the entire hard disk.Both free and used disk space will be visible, as will the size of any individual partitions.

Compression types

Along with LZNT1 compression, it's possible to use BZIP2 on the image.

Handling of virtual hard disks (VHD)

To make working with Microsoft Virtual PCs (VPC) easier, you can now convert image files into virtual drives (VHD). The converted image can be integrated as a virtual drive in the VPC, without having to install O&O DiskImage. In a similar way, images (OMG) can be created from virtual drives (VHD) of VPCs, or can be restored directly.

Integrated Burner

In addition to CD/DVDs,the integrated burner of O&O DiskImage also supports Blu-Ray Disks and HD/DVD´s.

Change computer properties

O&O DiskImage will let you change the identity of your computer to avoid authentication problems, i.e., when the same computer identity already exists in the network. This can be useful when creating several system images in a network.

TrayIcon

The TrayIcon monitors the service status and keeps you informed about active program functions. This will help prevent you from unintentionally aborting an O&O DiskImage task that is being run in the background. ValidationA checksum comparison of the data will also be performed while the image is being checked.
