Backup & restore your entire drive

This is the software publisher's description. O&O DiskImage is a drive backup tool that can backup an entire drive either in one whole chunk or through incremental imaging, so you only need to backup data changed since your last backup. To save space and to protect your data, the backup image can then be encrypted and also compressed to various different levels. If you ever need to restore data back to your computer, simply recall your backup image and your computer is back as it was before! Complete and incremental images can be mounted as drives through O&O DiskImage and Windows Explorer and also then unmounted again. This enables direct access to individual files or directories without the need to restore the whole image content. Images can be split into either traditional portions (CD, DVD etc.) or also on user-defined scales. An automatic split is also possible, when for example the target drive is full or the maximum file size for the file system has been reached. Compression and encryption for every image can be individually selected too. For restoring an entire system there is no need for a rescue CD to be created as a Start CD is provided (the so-called 'bare metal' technology). The CD is based on Windows Server 2003 (PE) and contains all the standard Windows drivers so that, on most systems, a complex integration of drivers is not necessary. The option to install additional hard disk control drivers is however still available. Once the Start CD boots up the PC, O&O DiskImage enables the required image to be selected and then fully restored.
