l merge incremental images

l convert the image file

Before you go ahead with any of the above named steps, we strongly advise you to save all parts of the Image in a

folder on your hard disk. Please ensure the folder is not on the drive where you wish to restore the Image. Once you

have done this you can complete the steps outlined above by simply following the instructions in the corresponding

chapters of the User’s Guide.

Can I continue working during the imaging process?

You can continue working and making changes without any problem.

The working memory buffer is however restricted. You can see how much is available in the Memory buffer display.

See Chapter "Lock a Drive".

Can I change an existing image?

Under Tools you can find the function Convert Image File. This enables you to change certain properties and contents

of an existing image.

I have created an image of several drives. Can I extract the image from just one of those drives and store it

separately?

Follow the instructions below:

1. Under Tools select Convert image file.

2. Select the image using Add and then select the drive you wish to separately image.

3. Click Open and select a drive. After confirming with OK, click Start.

4. After confirming with (OK)click Start.

5. The old image remains unaltered.

What is the difference between a clone and an image?

Using the Clone drive function, you can make a 1:1 copy of a drive including all its stored data, without producing any

image files. The storage volume /drive is saved directly without compression. The advantage of a clone as opposed to

an image is that the detour through an image file is avoided. You can access the clone of a drive without having to

restore the drive. You do, however, require a lot more storage space for a clone than for an image.

Important! When cloning your drive (source drive) the selected target drive will be overwritten. You should therefore

save your copy on an external hard disk, either in an unused region or overwrite a previously selected drive purely

for this purpose.

Why are temporary files created?

If you leave a drive unlocked during an imaging because, for instance, you want to continue working on that drive, the

original status will be “cached”, i.e. stored in the working memory buffer. “Temporary files” are created in the process.

The working memory buffer space is, however, limited. You can see how much space is available by looking at the

memory buffer display.

What is the advantage of an incremental image?

An incremental image normally has a smaller data volume than a base image. In addition, you can identify the dif-

ferences, more precisely, the changes made since the base image was created.

My incremental image is not smaller than my base image. Where does this file come from?
