R-Drive Image 4.7 Build 4719 | 10 MB

R-Drive Image is a puissant utility providing disk image files creation for backup or duplication purposes. A circular plate image file contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a exacting drive, partition or logical disk and can be created with manifold compression levels on the fly without stopping Windows OS and in return without interrupting your business. These drive image files can then subsist stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as CD-R(W)/DVD, Iomega Zip or Jazz disks, etc.

R-Drive Image restores the images put ~ the original disks, on any other partitions or even on a severely drive’s free space on the fly. To restore system and other locked partitions R-Drive Image is switched to the pseudo-lively mode directly from Windows or bootable version created by the utility is launched from CD disc or diskettes.

R-Drive Image is individual of the best backup and disaster recovery solutions to prevent loss your data after a fatal system failure.
Using R-Drive Image, you be able to completely and rapidly restore your system after heavy data loss caused ~ dint of. an operating system crash, virus attack or hardware failure. You have power to also use R-Drive Image for mass system deployment when you poverty to setup many identical computers. In other words, you can manually setup one system only, create an image of the system, and then open it on all other computers, saving your time and costs. If you penury to restore only certain files from a disk image, you can connect that image as a virtual disk and copy those files presently from the disk image using Windows Explorer or any other toothed utility.

Features:

* A simple wizard interface - no in-depth computer conduct skills are required.
* On-the-fly actions: Image files are created forward-the-fly, no need to stop and restart Windows. All other flat circular surface writes are stored in a cache until the image is created. Data from figure files are restored on-the-fly as well, except on a plan partition. Data to the system partition can be restored either by restarting R-Drive Image in its pseudo-graphic mode directly from Windows, or by using specially created startup disks.
* Image files compression. Image files can be compressed to save free storage space.
* Removable media support. Image files have power to be stored on removable media.
* Network support. R-Drive Image bootable CD translation supports disk image file creation and restoration over Microsoft network (CIFS protocol).
* Pseudo-striking mode. Restart to the pseudo-graphic mode directly from Windows to repay data to the system and other locked partitions. No need to appliance startup disks any more.
* Extended List of the supported devices. The edge of hardware supported by R-Drive Image bootable versions has been extended. VIEW THE LIST
* USB 2.0 devices suffer in the pseudo-graphic mode. With hard drives prices constantly going on the ground, an external IDE-USB 2.0 HDD case with an appropriate cold drive is an ideal (fast and reliable) solution for notebooks and sealed PCs to backup combination of parts to form a whole and other partitions that can be restored only in the pseudo-well-delineated mode. Do not use numerous unreliable CD discs and slow CD/DVD recorders ~ one more. Remember: with the incremental backup, this hard drive is not to have existence too large.
* Bootable version. Special bootable disks (either 2 floppy disks or united CD) can be created to restore data to the system distribution.
* Individual files and folders restoration. A disk image can be coupled as a read-only virtual drive and its content can have existence viewed and copied.
* Image files splitting. Drive images can be rive into several files to fit a storage medium.
* Image Protection. Disk similitude files can be password-protected and contain comments.
* File system new birth. The file system of the restored disk can be converted to any other one (FAT16 to FAT32 and vise versa.).
* New partition creation. Data from a face image can be restored on a free (unpartitioned) space on some place on a hard drive. The size of the restored parcel out can be changed.
* Partition replacement. Data from a disk image can be restored on other existing partitions. R-Drive Image deletes in the same state partitions and restores data on that free space.
* Disk to Disk imitate. An entire disk can be directly copied on another one.
* Image files authentication. You may check if your image files are good before you treasure them or restore data from them.
* Scheduler. A time for flat circular surface image creation may be scheduled and the process can be trip in unattended mode.
* Script creation for frequent or unattended actions. Such scripts concerning creating an image file and appending data to an existing fancy file are created from the R-Drive Image interface the same way the actual action is performed. Scripts are executed from a have under vision line and such command can be included to any command toothed.
* Action Report. When disk image is successfully created or the prosecution fails the report can be automatically sent over e-mail or one external application can be launched.

New R-Drive Image features in rendition 4.x :
* Windows Vista and 64 bit processors support. New R-Drive Image version supports all Windows Vista operating systems and 64 bit processors.
* Acceleration of image creation and disc copy operations. Asynchronous I/O and distributed the zlib pressing together library were added among different processors. As a result, users have power to see up to 200 speed gains in image creation and disc follow as a pattern operations.
* Differential image creation. When the incremental/differential backup is substance created, the differential image can be created by comparing the current given conditions with the 128-bit hash of the original data without prelection the main image. That speeds up the process of creating the incremental/differential image in any case, but also no need to change the first copy discs when writing the image to CD/DVD discs.
* Incremental picture. creation mode. In the previous versions the differential mode was suitable only.
* A bootable module can be written to a CD/DVD disc in concert with the image data. Thus it is possible to create single in kind CD/DVD disc to boot and to restore the system.
* Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) back up. In order to create a point-in-time snapshot of a database, the servers like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL and Oracle are notified near the front of backup process begins. The technology allows synchronizing the servers’ database and creating the redress copies of quick-changeable data.
* Dynamic Disks and BSD slices basis. Dynamic disks and BSD slices can be backup, restored and copied. The appearance is supported in both Windows and bootable versions of R-Drive picture. You may create an image of one disk or a bulk of any type and then restore the image back to a dynamic or basic discus. However when such image is restored you may not change a size or other characteristics of the target disk. When you restore a dynamic discus image to a basic disk, the basic disk remains basic and is not converted to the dynamic disk.
* A flexible control over CD/DVD writing. That allows limiting the inscription speed and cashing in the ISO file.
* Improved file format of the object of worship created by the application.
* Writing to NTFS partitions. Now the R-Drive Image bootable rendition (based on the Linux kernel) supports writing to NTFS partitions while well as R-Drive Image Windows version.
