l restore this image

l display drives from the image

l use the image as a base image for incremental imaging purposes

l merge incremental images

l convert the image file

Before you go ahead with any of the above named steps, we strongly advise you to save all parts of the Image in a

folder on your hard disk. Please ensure the folder is not on the drive to where you wish to restore the Image. Once

you have done this you can complete the steps outlined above by simply following the instructions in the cor-

responding chapters of the User’s Guide.

Can I continue working during the imaging process?

You can continue working and making changes without any problem.

The working memory buffer is however restricted. You can see how much is available in the Memory buffer display.

See Chapter "Lock a Drive".

Can I change an existing image?

Under Tools you can find the function Convert Image File. This enables you to change certain properties and con-

tents of an existing image.

I have created an image of several drives. Can I extract the image from just one of those drives and store it sep-

arately?

Follow the instructions below:

1. Under Tools select Convert image file.

2. Select the image using Add and then select the drive you wish to separately image.

3. Click Open and select a drive. After confirming with OK, click Start.

4. After confirming with (OK)click on Start.

5. The old image remains unaltered.

What is the difference between a clone and an image?

Using the Clone drive function, you can make a 1:1 copy of a drive including all its stored data, without producing

any image files. The storage volume /drive is saved directly without compression. The advantage of a clone as

opposed to an image is that the detour through an image file is avoided. You can access the clone of a drive without

having to restore the drive. You do, however, require a lot more storage space for a clone than for an image.

Important! When cloning your drive (source drive) the selected target drive will be overwritten. You should there-

fore save your copy on an external hard disk, either in an unused region or overwrite a previously selected drive

purely for this purpose.

Why are temporary files created?

If you leave a drive unlocked during an imaging because, for instance, you want to continue working on that drive,

the original status will be “cached”, i.e. stored in the working memory buffer. “Temporary files” are created in the

process. The working memory buffer space is, however, limited. You can see how much space is available by look-

ing at the memory buffer display.

What is the advantage of an incremental image?
