Hard Disk Image Backup

Hard drive image backup is a complete snapshot of “physical” HDD contents, i.e. a disk copy based on sectors, rather than on separate files. It includes data that can’t be copied with ordinary files-based system queries, and provides the most complete and accurate backup of a hard disk. To create an image backup, you need a disk imaging software, such as Handy Backup.

Complete Computer Backup

HDD image backup is created through low-level disk copying which gives no regard to the file system and allows you to backup operating system, boot records, applications, etc. This is an all-in-one backup of your PC data!

Fast System Restoration

Unlike files-based backup which requires you to reinstall operating system and all applications manually, hard drive imaging technology delivers higher results, and terrifically reduces time and efforts required for restoration.

Hard Disk Cloning

Disk imaging software can be effectively used for hard drive cloning purposes. For example, restoring one image backup to several computers can be used to set up multiple identical systems. To learn more, read how to clone hard drive...
