O&O DiskImage 2 Professional Edition

Professional Backup of Your Data with O&O DiskImage! Editor : O&O Software GmbH The sudden loss of data can be catastrophic. With O&O DiskImage Professional Edition such disasters are now a thing of the past. This new product from O&O Software creates preventative images of complete disks and partitions for safe keeping. Should disaster strike, O&O DiskImage allows for the simple restoration of those images directly from a CD, DVD or hard drive, resetting the system to its original pre-disaster condition with all of its data intact. Traditional backup solutions can only backup individual files and folders, leaving out the entire system structure of a Windows PC. For this reason, such backups do not do much good in the event of a total system crash because, despite the backed up data, Windows will still not be able to start up. For this reason, O&O DiskImage goes the extra mile and creates an exact copy, a disk image, of the entire Windows system.In the event of a system failure or data loss, it is then possible to restore a created image to the original storage volume, letting users get back to work with their entire system completely intact. The newly restored storage volume looks and feels the same, containing exactly the same data as were present at the time of the backup. Such a solution could mean a quick fix in the event of a malfunctioning or crashed Windows operating system. Security Does Not Need to be Complicated! Even for PC novices, O&O DiskImage Professional Edition is easy to use, offering a number of useful functions that make the software an invaluable ally in the fight against data loss: Apart from the creation of entire disk images, the program also includes the option of creating incremental images. This allows for the backing up of only those files that have changed since the last backup was run, saving time and disk space in the process. When creating an entire image of a volume, users can opt to create either a forensic image, which backs up all sectors on the volume including empty ones, or an image that includes only those data segments that contain data. All data imaging takes place in the background, meaning that the user can easily continue their work on the computer even when O&O DiskImage is completing its tasks. O&O DiskImage also can write imaged data to a writable CD or DVD. This makes it possible to create multiple image versions and store them separately from the PC for added security, or transport them to another PC. Files can also be compressed by O&O DiskImage during the imaging process, saving valuable disk space. For increased security, this software also makes possible the encryption of imaged data according to guidelines set down by the internationally recognized AES (128 to 256-bit). Full and incremental images can also be mounted for easy viewing direct from the Windows Explorer. Using this feature, users can then access individual files or folders contained in the backup image, without having to restore the entire image itself.
