Image for Windows is an
affordable and reliable drive image backup and restore solution that 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 Image for Windows package 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.
Image for Windows utilizes
the technology provided by Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or PHYLock™, an
add-on component included in the Image for Windows package. 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.
Image for Windows runs under
the Windows operating system, yet it can backup or restore any partition,
including those of DOS or Linux, and even partitions encrypted by third-party
software.
The TeraByte drive image
files produced by Image for Windows are compatible across all TeraByte
Unlimited disk imaging products of the same major version number (i.e. all 1.x
products are compatible with other 1.x products). This gives you the
flexibility to restore disk images using your product of choice.
Image for Windows Features:
Total Reliability - Provides
the option to verify each and every byte it backs up.
Convenience - Runs directly
from Windows and when used with the free PHYLock™ add-on, it can create a true
image of the Windows partition itself, without requiring a reboot.
Security - Your backups can
be secured using simple password protection, or full 256-bit AES encryption.
Backup Changed Data -
Differential backup option allows you to backup only data that has changed
since the last full backup was created.
Simple, Wizard-Driven
interface - Easy to use the first time, and every time.
Maximum Compression - By
default, compression is applied to the drive images you create.
Maximum Speed - If backup
speed is paramount, you can bypass compression entirely.
Optical Drive Support - You
can save directly to a CD, DVD, DVD-DL, BD.
Bootable Rescue Discs -
Whenever you save directly to a CD, DVD, DVD-DL, BD, it will automatically
become a bootable restore disc.
Large drive support - GPT
compatible supporting drives larger than 2TiB.
Restore Individual Files or
Folders - Using the free TBIView and TBIMount add-ons, you can view the
contents of the drive image files, and optionally restore individual files or
folders within them.
Compatibility -
Automatically recognizes and backs up used area of FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, Ext2,
Ext3, Ext4, ReiserFS, and XFS partitions. Partitions with other file system
types can be backed up in their entirety. Supports all standard partitions in
an MBR, EMBR, or GPT
Windows Servers - Supports
both Workstation and Server versions of Windows.
Cost Effectiveness -
Includes Image for DOS, Image for Linux, and TBOSDT at no additional charge,
making it a uniquely affordable and complete disk imaging solution.
Flexibility - Restore
partitions, regardless of the file system on the partition being restored. This
gives you the power to restore NTFS partitions from Windows 98 or even DOS (as
just a couple of examples).
Wide-Ranging Device Support
- Compatible with USB 2 and IEEE 1394 external drives. Better yet, Image for
DOS supports these drives directly, without requiring complicated driver
installation. (Image for Windows simply uses the drivers already available
under Windows.)
Power - Using Image for DOS
or Image for Linux (each of which is included with the purchase of Image for
Windows) versions gives you the ability to recover your data, even if Windows
won't start.
Network Support - Save
backups to any drive accessible to Windows itself.
RAID Support - Works
seamlessly with on-board hardware- and firmware-based RAID.
Command Line Support -
Powerful, complete command line support is built in, allowing you to automate
backup or restore procedures.
Scheduling - Leverages the
built-in Windows scheduler via the simple click of a Schedule Backup button.
Image File Validation -
Allows you to thoroughly check the integrity of the disk image files, either as
part of the backup process, or at any time thereafter. TeraByte imaging
products are renown for their thorough and accurate validation process.
Restored Partition Expansion
- When restoring an image, you can expand the restored partition to occupy any
free space that would be left over.
Selectable Image File Sizes
- If desired, you can specify a maximum size for the disk image files that are
created. This allows you to create image files that readily fit on the
removable media of your choice.
Hardware Independent Restore
- Restore Windows to completely different hardware and then use the TeraByte
OSD Tool Suite to install the drivers required to support the new hardware.
