O&O DiskImage-7
One-click imaging
The one-click imaging is the fastest and easiest way to create a complete image of your computer including all data
and settings. One-click imaging is especially useful if you are using O&O DiskImage for the first time, or have not yet
created an image of your computer.
Imaging complete disks
You can create an image of one or more disks, e.g. hard disks. When this happens, all drives found on these disks will
be automatically imaged.The following disk types are supported by O&O DiskImage:
l Imaging MBR disks
l Imaging GPT disks
l Imaging dynamical disks
Imaging single drives
You are not only able to image entire hard disks, but also individual drives. This incorporates the hard disk layout. You
can create images of the following drive types using O&O DiskImage:
l Imaging individual partitions and volumes.
l Imaging primary, extended and logical partitions.
l Imaging simple, spanned, mirrored volumes.
l Imaging the system areas
l Imaging the Master boot records (MBR)
l Imaging the system partitions (e.g. Microsoft reserved partition)
l Imaging of encrypted partitions, volumes or hard disks (e.g. SafeGuard easy of Ultimaco, TrueCrypt or Mir-
crosoft Bitlocker)
l Storing of a combination from the above mentioned objects (various hard disks, partitions, volumes or similar in
an image)
Different imaging methods
Different imaging methods allow the image to be adjusted for different purposes. 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, we recommend a forensic
image - all sectors are imaged exactly according to their structure. This enables a later data rescue using special soft-
ware such as O&O DiskRecovery without affecting the original disk.
l Image the used sectors of drives (partitions/volumes) - unencrypted data is included in the image.
l Complete image of all sectors of the object to be imaged (forensic image)
l Direct forensic image - encrypted data is also included in the image.
After a base imaging, you can create subsequent images as incremental or differential for storing only the changes:
l Incremental image - saves changes between previous images and the current disk.
l Differential image - saves changes between the very first image and the current status of the disk.
Save image
After creating the image, you can save it on all Windows recognized disks. You only need to enter the network path
before starting the imaging process. The following destinations can be used to store the images:
l Local drives
l External USB or firewire hard disks
l Drive/Folder in the network
l Storing images as ISO files to burn them later
