Create images and restore entire systems quickly and easily. O&O DiskImage offers reliable protection from unforeseen data loss. All standard and professional functions are bundled up in one product. Automated, as well as individual settings are possible. Thanks to the Start CD, which includes additional system rescue tools, you will quickly have all your important data available again – even, if Windows does not start up anymore.

Create Images while system is running
O&O DiskImage allows you to create reliable images of individual disks or entire systems without hindering the Server or the user. The Snapshot function with integrated buffer memory ensures that the stored data is exactly the way it was when the image was created: Changes to the data set through usage or by the user do not influence the running image creation. This ensures consistent images of systems without any interruptions.

After imaging all of your data and your installed environment is available immediately should you encounter any problems - And thanks to the O&O DiskImage Start CD (BareMetal-Technology) also without a previous installation.

Imaging methods for every need
Different imaging methods allow the adaptation to different needs. You get a space saving image, if you select the setting "only used sectors". If you want to rescue data from a damaged hard disk, then we recommend a forensic image - all sectors are imaged the way they are. This enables a later data rescue with special software e.g. O&O DiskRecovery, without affecting the original disk. After a creating a base image you can create incremental or differential images to save modifications since the last image.

Clone
When cloning, an exact copy of a disk is created, which can be used instead of the original disk. This function enables you to make a cloned image of an entire drive with all the saved data, and without having to create image files.You do, however, require a lot more storage space for a clone than for an image. No incremental or differential follow up image can be done with a clone, which would lessen the data volume. In addition, an image can be compressed (clones cannot)
and/or encrypted, which makes the data unusable for outsiders or unauthorized users.

Job management for regular automated imaging
O&O DiskImage enables a time schedules execution of activities. With the help of a
useful Wizard you can set that the data will be imaged regularly at predefined times.

Restoration of entire computers and individual volumes
Restoring your data is as easy as creating an image. If you want to restore data
volumes, it is sufficient to start O&O DiskImage under Windows. If you want to
restore an entire computer including its operating system and all applications, then
run O&O DiskImage directly from the Start-CD.

The additional integrated system rescue tools also offer the chance to restore the original system and identify mistakes. To start O&O DiskImage directly from CD it is not necessary for the operating system to run properly. The CD includes a bootable Windows operating system including all the needed drivers. If special hardware is not recognized, you can download additional drivers, e.g. for a controller or network cards with the help of an assistant.

Restoration of individual files
You can also restore single files from an image fast and easy. Simply load thecreated image as virtual drive. This allows you to copy files or folders from the image file onto existing drives. Making changes to the image file, such as deleting or adding files, however, is not possible.

Apply system environment on a new computer
O&O DiskImage can also assist you when installing/configuring new acquired computers. If the hardware is the same in the new computers you can set them all up using O&O DiskImage. Just set up one, install O&O DiskImage and create a system image. Then apply the image on all remaining computers. Time consuming individual installations are a thing of the past.
