About O&O DiskImage 5

identical hardware, but on those 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 notified immediately about errors so that you can identify and resolve them faster.
Information Bar
The Information Bar guides you through selected tasks and lets you know what to do next. It'll also provide impor-
tant information about the running of tasks. You also have the option of hiding the Information Bar.
NEW: Express View
The Express View presents an easy and intuitive way of using the main features of the program. You can use the
Express view for creating and mounting images as well as for restoring drives. Individual functions of the Express
view can also be manually disabled so that another user won't be able to use a particular feature.
NEW: The size of the target drive can be adjusted for restoration and cloning
If the target for restoration or cloning is a free sector, the size of the target drive can be changed by the user to fit
the actual data volume of the original drive. When, for example, the drive being imaged has 5 GB but the data on it
is only taking up half its space, a smaller drive of 3 GB, for instance, can be entered as a target during restoration.
Exceptions are drives with unknown file systems, direct forensic images from encrypted hard disks and images from
virtual hard disks (VHD) containing dynamic drives that are stripped, spanned or RAID5.
NEW: A new start page
It displays the main features of O&ODiskImage along with an explanation of what each one does. The three main
features are: One-click imaging, Differential/incremental imaging and Restore drives. It's also very easy to
switch to the Advanced start page from where you can run all of O&ODiskImage's features.
Imaging while system is running
The time once needed for servicing images could have taken half a day and made it impossible to work on Servers
and Workstations. O&O DiskImage allows you to create reliable images of individual disks and entire systems with-
out interrupting Server operation* or the user. The Snapshot function with integrated buffer memory ensures that
the imaged data is remains exactly as it was when the image started to be created: changes to the data caused by
usage or the user do not affect the image while it's being created. This ensures consistent images of systems with-
out any interruptions.
Once you have an image, all your data and the installed environment is available immediately if ever you have a
problem. And thanks to the O&O DiskImage Start CD (BareMetal-Technology), this is also possible without any pre-
vious installation.
* Imaging and restoring server systems is only possible with the O&O DiskImage Server Edition.
Imaging methods for all purposes
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, then we rec-
ommend a forensic image - all sectors are imaged exactly according to their structure. This enables a later data res-
cue with special software e.g. O&O DiskRecovery, without affecting the original disk.
After creating a base image, you can create incremental or differential images to save modifications since the last
image.
