Developer Provided Description
- "DriveImage XML is an easy to use and reliable program for imaging and
backing up partitions and logical drives. The program allows you to:
Backup logical drives and partitions to image files
Browse these
images, view and extract files
Restore these images to the same or a
different drive
Copy directly from drive to drive
Image creation
uses Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services (VSS), allowing you to create
safe "hot images" even from drives currently in use.
Images are
stored in XML files, allowing you to process them with 3rd party tools.
Never again be stuck with a useless backup!
Restore images to
drives without having to reboot."

Supported Software Versions or File Systems - "Most partition types
are supported. In the case of FAT (12, 16 and 32), ext2/3 and NTFS
partitions, you can choose between saving all sectors or in-use sectors
only."
Developer Provided Description -
"Partition Saving is a DOS program that is used to save, restore and
copy hard-drive, partitions, floppy disk and DOS devices.
With
this program you could save all data on a partition to a file (such as
you could save this file on a CD for example). Then if something goes
wrong, you can completely restore the partition from the backup file.
You no longer have to reinstall every piece of software from scratch.
All you have to do is restore the partition from the backup file and
then update any software that was modified since the backup was created.

Supported Software Versions or File Systems - FAT16/32/NTFS
Developer Provided Description - "This program copies a disk as a
raw image from one drive directly to another. This utility is designed
for people who have faulty drive and want to transfer the data directly
to another drive without doing a file by file copy. This saves the need
for operating system re-installs and allows drives with an unknown file
system to be copied (including from console game machines, data
recorders, Mac etc). The program has a built in data recovery function
which will attempt to recover data from bad sectors to ensure all the
available data is restored from the drive. This program is designed to
run under nt/xp/2000 or later operating systems. It will run under
Windows 95/98/Me operating systems but only Windows logical drives can
be copied."

undeleted. Thus free disk imaging. :-)

Supported Software Versions or File Systems - Mac, Unix File Systems
Developer Provided Description - "This program will help you recover
disks with bad sectors. You can recover files as well complete devices.
In case if finds sectors which simply cannot be recovered, it writes an
empty sector to the outputfile and continues. If you're recovering a CD
or a DVD and the program cannot read the sector in "normal mode", then
the program will try to read the sector in "RAW mode" (without
error-checking etc.). This toolkit also has a utility called 'mergebad':
mergebad merges multiple images into one. This can be useful when you
have, for example, multiple CD's with the same data which are all
damaged. In such case, you can then first use recoverdm to retrieve the
data from the damaged CD's into image-files and then combine them into
one image with mergebad."

my friends lost valuable data on an NTFS drive. It been used since then
in several cases, but not thoroughly tested, especially not WRT the fact
that it's a data recovery program. You should have your partition
information stored away in advance. This allows reliable retrieval of
file info.
