Now that the base image has been created you can move on to incremental imaging. Here, you can also choose to write over unused drive sectors, for that whiter-than-white finish to your C drive. Restoring an image on to your PC is straightforward: pick a drive and you're off.
For example, you can mount the image file as a drive, which enables you to browse it, Windows Explorer-style, or protect it with up to 256-bit AES encryption. Once the imaging process has finished the program verifies it - a reassuring touch - and then it's up to you as to what to do with it. It's best to create the initial image when you've planned something that doesn't involve touching the keyboard. Taxing processĬontrary to O&O's claims that "you can continue working during the entire imaging procedure", any attempt to use the PC for anything more taxing than watching the screensaver kick into life proved futile.
What's annoying is the time it takes to complete this process: well over an hour in the case of our PC, which contained 30GB of data. Choosing to create an image is simple enough.
