Overview and List of Features

Active@ Disk Image allows you to create an image of the data stored in selected partitions of a hard disk or an image of the entire hard disk. Active@ Disk Image is partition-oriented and not file-oriented. In a file-oriented system, you must select all the files that you want to archive. In a partition-oriented system, all files on the selected disk partition are saved into the archive.

A partition-oriented approach offers two major advantages:

  • There is no risk that you will overlook important files when performing the backup. All files on the disk are saved into the image file.
  • The folder structure and all hidden system files are saved, guaranteeing reliable partition restoring. If the original partition is completely corrupted and unrecoverable, it is still possible to restore system partitions, data and installed software.

Main Features

  • Create and restore a disk image without having to restart the computer (in most cases).
  • Optionally select only those sectors that contain useful information. The resulting disk image is smaller and it takes less time to create.
  • Store a disk image in a local file, on a network drive or burn directly on CD/DVD.
  • Create an exact (sector-by-sector) image for data recovery scenarios or for backing up partitions with unknown file systems.
  • Make a disk image from any Windows-based hard disk, for example IDE, SCSI, USB, FireWire, PC Card.
  • Backup data from basic disks or dynamic disks.
  • Configure image compression to make a balance between archive size and recording speed.
  • Create an image of several disk partitions at the same time and store them in one archive.
  • Restore selected disk, partition or individual files from the archive.
  • Run Active@ Disk Image from Active@Boot Disk to perform all disk image operations no matter what installed operating system is present.
  • Setup an unattended imaging of a computer using scheduling.
  • Simple procedures using easy-to-follow wizards.
  • Record operations logs.
  • Split a disk image into several files to make file handling easier.
  • Use password protection for security.
  • Exclude page files and hibernate file to improve recording speed and reduce backup file size.
  • Easily transfer system and program files to several workstations with disk or partition cloning.
