O&O DiskImage-11
Cloning
Cloning allows you to make 1:1 copies of entire disks or individual drives that can be used instead of the originals. This
function provides you with clones of disks or individual drives, including information about the hard disk layout with all
the data saved on it. Clones do, however, require a lot more storage space than an image.
Unlike images, there are no incremental or differential clones possible for reducing the data volume of successive
clones. In addition, a clone cannot be compressed or encrypted like an image.
Cloning entire disks
You can create a clone from one or more drives, e.g. hard disk. This will clone all drives located on a hard disks. The fol-
lowing hard disk layouts are supported by O&O DiskImage:
l Cloning a hard disk
l Cloning to or as MBR hard disk
l Cloning to or as GPT hard disk
l Cloning to or as dynamic hard disk
Cloning single drives
You are also able to clone single drives and not only complete hard disks. This incorporates the hard disk layout. The
following cloning options are supported by O&O DiskImage:
l Cloning single partitions/volumes
l Cloning of primary, extended, and logical partitions
l Cloning simple, spanned, mirrored volumes
l Cloning the system areas
l Cloning the Master boot records (MBR)
l Exclusive cloning of the Master boot records (MBR)
l Storing of a combination from the above mentioned objects (various hard disks, partitions, volumes or similar in
an image)
Modifications for cloning
You can make various adaptations for cloning . Some of these are configured automatically or you can set them your-
self. The following adaptations can be set:
l Buffer the original data before a change (Snapshot)
l Automatic conversion of the free areas to an extended partition if the areas are larger than the partition being
cloned and no extended partition exists.
l MIR (Machine Independent Restoration), adjust to the different hardware of the clone.
Management functions
The management function provides several options for adapting O&O DiskImage to meet your individual requirements
and automate activities.
Express view
The Express View shows a very compact user interface with the main functions of the programs. You can use the
Express view for creating and mounting images as well as for restoring drives. Individual functions of the Express view
can also be manually disabled so that another user won't be able to use a particular feature.
Run scheduled activities
O&O DiskImage lets you setup a schedule for running activities. Thanks to a helpful Wizard, you can, for example,
setup to have your data imaged automatically on a regular basis according to a schedule. Further settings for
