The computer can be re-started into the startup version either directly from Windows, or from an external USB device, a CD/DVD disk, or 6 floppies. A startup version can be used to image / restore / copy partitions locked by the OS. Image files can be stored on removable media. Image files can be compressed to save free storage space. 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. Data from image files are restored on-the-fly as well, except on a system partition. All other disk writes are stored in a cache until the image is created.

On-the-fly actions: Image files are created on-the-fly, no need to stop and restart Windows.

You can also use R-Drive Image for mass system deployment when you need to setup many identical computers. Using R-Drive Image, you can completely and rapidly restore your system after heavy data loss caused by an operating system crash, virus attack or hardware failure. To restore system and other locked partitions R-Drive Image is switched to the pseudo-graphic mode directly from Windows or bootable version created by the utility is launched from CD disc or diskettes.

These drive image files can then be stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as CD-R(W)/DVD, Iomega Zip or Jazz disks, etc. A disk image file contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive, partition or logical disk and can be created with various compression levels on the fly without stopping Windows OS and therefore without interrupting your business.
