Excellent, excellent software. The newer version 8 is not terribly different from the version 7 offered here, so not to worry on that account. This is one of the few disk / partition image backup apps that will let you create a bootable USB stick that works with Secure Boot enabled, which most current PCs/laptops have turned on. Disk / partition image backup software works by cloning the hard disk partition to a VHD [Virtual Hard Disk], which can be browsed like a regular hard disk once mounted or cloned back to a physical hard disk. Usually only the backup app can access or mount that VHD, but O&O DiskImage also lets you use Windows own .vhd format, and while using that will probably make your backup archives larger, they can also be mounted or opened using Windows, with no other software required. A final note, if you do wish to upgrade to version 8 [or a future version 9?] O&O occasionally has some really great sale pricing, so if interested watch for their emails.
