Whether duplicating dozens of PCs for your business, or just wanting a good imaged backup of your entire system, drive imaging is the best way to do so. Essentially, taking a static picture of your HDD at any point in time, creating it as a single file and archiving it for future or emergency use. There are many software options out there to do such things, such as Norton Ghost or Acronis, but both cost money and almost all options always require to do imaging through a boot disk.

DriveImage XML does all of the above, but can do so while in or out of Windows. A few of the big things it does:

Create a single image file backup of your logical drives and partitions.
Browse the image files in depth and extract files.
Restore to any drive, whether on the same or a completely different drive.
Use Windows task scheduler to automatically backup your system with these methods.

The software is incredibly fast, incredibly reliable and incredibly cheap…FREE**.

**Free for private use. $100 for a five user business license.
