O&O Software DiskImage 5

DiskImage 5 Server Edition, DE Reliable images across a network

Data loss represents an expensive risk to all companies. But it is also completely preventable. By continuous data imaging, whenever a loss of data occurs, companies can fall back on previously created images. With O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition you can create reliable images - also in the network.

Differences to previous version

Besides the continuous maintenance and enhancement of the existing program components, version 5 comes with some major new features. In particular, the ability to restore an image or duplicate system partition onto machines with different hardware is a major new innovation. The new One-click Imaging and advanced information bar serve to increase the user friendliness of the program. You can also select to be kept informed of activities by e-mail with the new version 5.

M.I.R. - Machine Independent Restoration

The new function M.I.R. (Machine Independent Restoration) enables restoration or duplication of system partitions onto machines with different hardware setups. This means an image or duplicate can not only be restored onto identical hardware, but also onto hardware where the processor or motherboard has been changed, for instance.

Imaging with no downtime

O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition includes a mechanism, which ensures that the imaged data corresponds exactly to the moment of the begin of the imaging process: changes to the data set by the user or applications will not influence a running imaging process. The existing file system and the application environment have therefore no influence on the process. Only by harnessing this technology can consistent system images be created, while at the same time ensuring that the system runs without interruption, and remains continuously available.

Specially designed for server environments

O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition was specifically designed to make the most modern systems more efficient, without unnecessarily straining older Hardware due to a high resource use. O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition supports 64-bit server operating systems, dynamic data volume and of course fail-safe RAID configuration completely.

Automation, scripting and reporting

A comprehensively configured and time control enables you to comfortably create automated images with O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition.In addition, O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition can be controlled completely over script commands. Detailed reports are then compiled, informing you as to the results of every procedure or activity.

Choice of various types of images

Along with the new time-scheduled feature, O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition lets you perform full and incremental imaging. Full imaging allows you to choose between a space-saving image of used sectors and an all-inclusive forensic imaging which can be used when restoring data - for example, in conjunction with the tools featured in the multiple award-winning O&O RescueBox. An incremental image can save you space, as you image only those data sectors which have changed since the last imaging procedure. In every image file, be that an incremental image or one split onto several storage volumes, all important information is saved. Even when single image files are lost, you can still carry out a partial data recovery of data that is still available.

Splitting Save Sets

Save sets can be split into either traditional portions (CD, DVD etc.) or on user-defined scales. An automatic split is also available, when for example the target drive is full or the maximum file size for the file system has been reached.

Virtual hard disks (VHD)

To make working with Microsoft Virtual PCs (VPC) easier, you can convert images to virtual drives (VHD). The converted image can then be mounted as a virtual drive on the VPC, with no need for installing O&O DiskImage there. Similarly, virtual hard disks (VHD)can be converted to Images (OMG).

System recovery with the Start CD

Our BareMetal technology enables you to resurrect a system using O&O DiskImage 5 Server Edition without having to previously install it. To achieve this, we have placed a start-capable CD at your disposal. The CD is based on Microsoft Windows Server and contains all the standard drivers from Windows. Thanks to the Wizard, additional drivers such as for Storage Controllers or Network cards can also be loaded after starting. The additional system rescue tools give you the chance to restore the original system and identify errors.

E-mail notification on activity status

The e-mail notification function is an option you can select to be kept informed of the progress of jobs or activities. You will also be notified of any errors so that you can act quickly to resolve them.
