O&O DiskImage is a reliable and affordable solution for protecting your personal and professional data. It offers everything needed to protect your data the best way possible. You have it all: from the imaging and restoration of entire server systems to the restoration of individual files.

Along with a finer tuning of existing program components, you'll find quite a number of new and helpful features waiting for you in Version 5.

NEW: 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.

NEW: 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".

NEW: 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.
NEW: 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

Up until now, the kind of maintenance needed for imaging could take up to half a day and prevent your server or computer from running at full capacity. 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.

After imaging, all your data and installation environments will be ready for you whenever there's a serious problem with your workstations or servers. And thanks to the O&O DiskImage Start CD (BareMetal-Technology), without the need for any previous installation as well.

* The imaging and restoration of server systems is only possible with the O&O DiskImage Server Edition.

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. This will allow you to recover data later, using special software such as O&O DiskRecovery, without affecting the original disk.

After creating a base image, you can then create incremental or differential images to save any changes made since the last image.

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.
