Backing Up Windows Disks as Disk Image Objects

What Is a Disk
Image Backup?

A disk image backup is a high-speed backup of disks, disk partitions, or
logical volumes without tracking the file and directory structure stored
on these data sources.

When to Use a
Disk Image
Backup

Use a disk image backup in the following situations:

• You have lots of small files and a high backup speed is required.

• A full disk backup is needed, for example, for disaster recovery or

before a major software update.

• A direct disk-to-disk connection is not possible and you want to

duplicate a filesystem to another disk. The latter must be identical to
the original disk.
