R-Drive Image is a potent utility providing disk image files creation for backup or duplication purposes. Disk image file contains exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive, partition or logical disk and can be created with various compression levels on the fly without stopping Windows OS. These drive image files can then be stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as CD-R(W) or DVD-R(W) , Iomega Zip or Jazz disks, etc. R-Drive Image is capable of restoring those images on the original disks, on any other partitions or even on a hard drive's free space on the fly. R-Drive Image creates a special bootable diskette to restore system partition. To restore only certain files from a disk image, you can connect the image as a virtual disk and copy those files directly from the disk image using Windows Explorer or any other file utility. A free 15-day trial version allows you to verify all R-Drive Image capabilities except creation and restoration a disk image when R-Drive Image is launched from a bootable floppy disk created by the trial version.
