Important Features at a Glance
Backing up data on a regular basis is still something that many users prefer to avoid. At least that is until they suffer their first loss of important data as a result of software, hardware or user error: that’s when it becomes crystal clear just how valuable a reliable and up-to-date backup really is.
All default and advanced features are combined in one single product.
Here’s the safest and easiest way to avoid losing important data! Options are available for both automated and manual settings. Thanks to a unique recovery system that includes additional system recovery tools along with O&O DIskImage, you’ll quickly be able to restore all your important data – even if the backup you’re using was created with an older O&O DiskImage version.
Backup entire PCs, individual drives, or files with the push of a button
When backing up a PC, O&O DiskImage saves all personal files as well as drive information and individual settings. This not only protects irreplaceable files, but in a worst case scenario, also saves you the trouble of having to carry out a time-consuming new setup of programs and the Windows operating system. O&O DiskImage lets you back up an entire computer, system and data drives, or individual files and folders.
Backups on a regular basis protect against data loss
To make sure your backups are always up to date, we recommend creating them at short intervals from one another. O&O DiskImage can be set to do this automatically so that data can be backed up, for example, once a week. To save disk space, you can set the maximum number of backups that should be saved so that old ones are automatically replaced by new ones.
Quick and easy restoration, even on a different hardware
Restoring a backup with O&O DiskImage is as easy as pie: all you have to do is start the program, select the backup you want to restore, and you’re off. Included with the product is our machine independent restoration which means your old backup can be transferred 1:1 onto a new machine. Hardware of a different make will be automatically recognized and Windows settings will be carried out by themselves.
And if you only need to restore a single file or folder, you can mount the backup as a virtual drive and then using Windows Explorer, simply select and copy whatever you want. Nothing could be easier!
Plug-and -play functionality
Whoever wants to save data on an external disk has it even easier with the new O&O DiskImage 9. Thanks to its integrated plug-and -play option, selected files and folders can be backed up automatically as soon as, for example, an external hard disk is connected to the computer. Ideal for users who are happy to forget about making backups or who don’t want to go through the trouble. Once configured, everything runs by itself.
Create a boot medium directly from within the program
O&O DiskImage can bring a system back to life immediately, and with no installation required. It does so by way of a Boot Medium (USB Stick or CD/DVD) which is based on current installed Windows system and which contains all standard drivers.

Although not the most common way of storing and transferring files, disk images present more efficiency and benefits that you thought. Given such an understanding, I have always preferred to use image files. During that period, I have been looking for a program that would deliver efficiency and a better user experience. A quick search helped me land on O&O DiskImage 10.5 Pro. After using it, here is my review.
Overview of O&O DiskImage 10.5 Pro
Right from the get, the program comes across as a reliable solution for backing up your important data, and restoring them in case of any loss. You will have the option convert your files, folders, and partitions into data images. The different methods of backing up like incremental and differential images will allow for an easy restoration process in case of a hardware change.
Pros
Impressive Plug-and-Play Ability
Although I know the importance of backing up my files regularly, it is a process that I always forget due to my busy schedule. At the same time, I prefer saving files that I use regularly on my internal hard drive and let my backup sit on an external drive. O&O DiskImage 10.5 Pro easily fuses these two factors. After installing the program, I configured it to initiate an automatic backup when I connect an external hard drive.
Easy Data Image Creation
Are you a rookie user into the world of data images? You have nothing to worry about how to go about the image creation process. After installing and running this program, you will be greeted by a straightforward interface that will let you go through the process in few clicks. Such a simple UI will make your work easy regardless of whether you want to create a data image for your folders, files, partition, or the entire computer.
Helpful Options for Performing Restorations
It would have been less useful to use this program in backing up your files, only for the restoration process to be challenging. Having said that, you will have less trouble restoring your backup while using O&O DiskImage 10.5 Pro. To start with, you can opt for a 1:1 restoration on a new hardware to ensure you have a new mirrored structure. At the same time, you can opt to restore individual files or folders by mounting the image on a virtual drive and using a file explorer.
Verdict
O&O DiskImage 10.5 Pro delivers what it promises. Its straightforward UI is a welcome ideas especially for novice users who have never used disk images before. Nevertheless, the program also offers a reliable backup and restoration solution to experts.
O& O DiskImage Professional
DiskImages are becoming the popular way to transfer data in the modern portable computer world. Most manufacturers are omitting disk drives. Even if they weren’t, I long shifted into using disc images and are especially interested in tools that make mounting, editing and saving my images simpler. O & O DiskImage Professional promises to be one such platform. Here is what I found out after using it for a while.
At A Glance
O & O, at first glance, was more than I expected. The name pushed me into thinking it is something like VirtualClone Drive but it is more powerful and can handle a whole lot of more features.
Simple and Powerful Imaging
The software gives you an amazing one-click image control that is perfect for beginners who want to image their entire PC but don’t know how to do it manually. Even though the entire concept of cloning or imaging might sound complex, the graphics interface and intuitive design makes it quite simple to accomplish.
All In One Restoration
Once you have your backup or image ready, restoring it will be as easy as installing the application, clicking on restore and directing it to the right external storage. I however still find this hard because I didn’t find a way to create bootable storage meaning that your backup might be useless if your PC crashed or doesn’t have an operating system at the time of the restoration.
Create and Manage Virtual Machine
O & O DiskImage also lets you create a virtual machine with virtual resources and has a resource manager that ensure that the virtual machine doesn’t infringe into your physical machine. It might not be my favorite virtualizer but it did run the virtualization well and at acceptable efficiencies.
Cons
Things Can Easily Spiral Out Of Control
Despite its well laid out design and the subtle wizard, the fact that there is little tutorial material means that you can easily be tempted to take on more than you can swallow. The tool has a couple of advanced features that might seem simple but could easily mess you up if you aren’t sure of what you are doing. Worse still, you don’t get a warning when you wander too far.
Verdict
O & O is a perfect tool that will get you covered on all your imaging, cloning and restoration tasks. You will be in charge of every tweak you do and you can dictate the size or content of your images making it a perfect support and recovery tool.
just WOW! really nice!
works very well
