Live Linux image file in ISO format based on the Linux from scratch documentation (LFS) and intended for backup and restoring of whole partitions. Can be burned and booted directly from a CD or integrated to a PXE/RIS environment.
Creates a virtual drive which is seen by the system as a floppy disk drive, hard disk or CD/DVD drive. You can mount images from the command line, install and configure without needing to reboot the system.
Saves an exact image of a hard disk partition or an entire hard disk to a compressed file, even if Windows is running on it. Generates bootable systems from the backup.
Open-source software for mounting CD/DVD images. To mount and unmount the image, double-click on it in Windows Explorer then specify the required drive letter. Can handle ISO, CUE, NRG, MDS/MDF, CCD and IMG formats.
Tool for imaging and backing up logical drives and partitions. Secures drives, including those currently in use, using Microsoft’s VSS. Capable of restoring images without having to reboot or turn off the PC.
Creates image files of potentially damaged hard disk partitions in order to repair the corrupted file system and prevent loss of data. Written in Seed7 combining the functionality of dd_rescue and dd_rhelp.
Classic imaging tool with all the basic functions required for creating and burning image data on to CDs and DVDs. Supports all commonly used formats, such as ISO, BIN, CUE, IMG, CCD, NRG, CIF, MDF, CDI, C2D, BWI, VaporCD, PDI, MD1, XA and CMI. Fast and secure download from The H
Backs up selected local hard disks by creating an image of the data medium which can be restored at any time. Can also save only the clusters currently being used on the hard disk, to avoid creating an image of the entire hard disk. From version 0.2 onwards, this program supports disk snapshots that allow Windows partitions to be saved while in use.
OS independent Java utility which allows you to mount raw disk images. It first analyses the raw images and then creates a formatted VMDK file that can be used to mount the image directly.
Classic tool for recovering any type of file. Also enables you to create images and delete data securely and permanently. Fast and secure download from The H
Copies entire volumes. Can be used to create a complete backup of Mac OS X. From version 3.1 onwards, this tool can forecast whether a cloned volume can be booted.
Creates images from partitions and offers a more intelligent way of dealing with read errors than dd, meaning it’s better suited to corrupt hard drives. dd_rhelp is the recommended front end.
Console front end for dd_rescue that only attempts to read corrupted data again after it has selected all the intact sectors. You can interrupt and restart the copying of the partition at any point.
Linux-based imaging program for cloning and therefore backing up data from various network clients via TFTP and PXE. The tool doesn’t need to be installed on the clients and is controlled from a PHP-based web user interface instead.
Creates ISO images from folders and their subdirectories, which can be edited and burnt to a CD using common burning software. No installation is required and is also available as a portable version.
