Image for Windows provides an easy and convenient way to completely backup all your hard drive's data, programs and operating systems. Your backups can be saved directly to external USB and FireWire™ drives, to internal or network drives, and even directly to CD, DVD, or BD. The suite includes an easy-to-use MakeDisk wizard for creating a recovery boot disk. To restore your data, programs and operating systems back to the way they were when the backup was created, simply boot the recovery disk and restore the partition(s) or drive(s) you need to recover. It's that easy.
As a key component of the TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite, Image for Windows utilizes the technology provided by Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or PHYLock™, an add-on component included in the suite. VSS and PHYLock™ allows you to continue using your computer while the backup is locked to a point-in-time. This eliminates the inconsistencies typically experienced while backing up a partition that is in use.
The TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite includes Image for Windows, Image for Linux, Image for DOS, and the OSD Tool Suite. Image for DOS and Image for Linux support the same powerful drive image functionality without requiring a working Windows installation.
Comments and Reviews
I've been using TeraByte Unlimited products -- including 'Image for Windows' -- for about 20 years as I write this. Prior to that, I had been using Norton Ghost, but was having strange system stability issues.
The TeraByte developer determined that my BIOS had bugs that were causing the disk operations to introduce data corruption during backups / restores.
This was verified because of one of the features of the TeraByte 'Image' products that to this day, I'm not aware of being present in ANY competitors: Byte-for-byte validations, both after image creation and after restoration. The TeraByte software lets you verify every byte written. I learned very early on that this is critical. Just "validating" an image like the others do is not the same.
All of the competitors to the TeraByte products are either freeware, offered by developers who owe you nothing, or products that focus heavily on cutesy marketing. TeraByte doesn't care about marketing (obviously); they care about solid products.
