The contents of a created image can be viewed with any application, including Windows Explorer. The software requires restarting and going to DOS only when restoring a system partition. You can focus on your work, while Drive Snapshot creates a disk image or restores your data, because there is no need to reboot your computer. You may click a button to empty the Recycle Bin or tick an option to set the program to perform this action automatically, each time you create an image. The software displays the sum of the free and used disk space, during the same step, as well as the size of the Recycle Bin contents. After selecting a partition, you can specify the image's output path, select a hash file, if you want to create a differential image, add comments or protect the file with a password.

During this step, you can find various details, regarding each partition, including their file systems, total, used and free space and more. When creating a backup image, you will have to select one of your partitions before anything else. The software will take you through a few steps, just like a wizard, regardless of which option you choose. You can start creating a backup image, restore a disk from an existing image or view its contents. Once you run the application, you will find three main options on its small interface. It works with all Windows file systems (FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS) and you will be pleased to know that Drive Snapshot provides support for Linux (EXT2/3/4/Reiser) as well.īacking up a partition with Drive Snapshot is easy. The system requirements are very low, so you can install the program on any Windows powered computer. Alternatively, you can use the program to mount that image and recover individual files.

The software can also recover a partition, making it exactly the way it was when you created the image. With Drive Snapshot, you can back up entire disk partitions by creating image files. You can try to recover it, using special software, but a better solution is to back up the files. Regardless of what happens to your hard drive, losing important data is almost a certainty.
