R-Drive Image for Windows
R-Drive Image is a powerful tool that you can use to create a disk image of your hard drive – a duplicate or backup copy of everything on the drive. With it, it’s possible to create logical disks and partitions without interrupting your operating system at work. The resulting disk images can then be stored on extractable units, like CDs or DVDs. R-Drive can restore the image in the original disk, in any of its partitions, or even in free space.
R-Drive Image is a potent utility providing disk image files creation for backup or duplication purposes. A disk image file contains the 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 and therefore without interrupting your business. These drive image files can then be stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as CD-R(W)/DVD, Iomega Zip or Jazz disks, etc.
Key Features:
- The software allows users to create three types of disk images from HDD/SSD/NVMe storage devices.
- The system enables VSS-based hot imaging for backing up active systems without requiring system restarts.
- The program enables users to clone disks and partitions while also allowing them to resize partitions during the restoration process.
- The software enables users to access images as read-only virtual drives for performing file-level recovery operations.
- The software provides WinPE and Linux boot media options for users to perform bare-metal restores and offline cloning operations.
- The software includes image verification tools and checksum integrity checks and automatic validation features.
- The program includes a scheduler and command line interface (CLI) which enables users to create automated jobs that send email reports.
- The software supports network imaging through LAN/SMB connections while operating with 4Kn disk drives.
- The software supports multiple file systems including NTFS and ReFS and FAT/exFAT and ext2/3/4 and HFS+/APFS*.
FixBugs:
- The software now performs incremental and differential imaging operations at faster speeds because of its enhanced changed-block tracking system.
- The software now provides better management capabilities for working with extensive ReFS and EXT4 volume systems.
- The software provides enhanced NVMe and 4Kn disk cloning operations with built-in alignment protection features.
- The WinPE builder now supports the most recent version of the Windows ADK.
- The user interface of the scheduler and logs and image browser sections has received several improvements.
- The software now includes fixes for image verification and SMTP/TLS notification stability issues.
System Requirements
- The software supports Windows 11 and 10 and 8.1 and 7 operating systems in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions as well as Windows Server 2016 through 2022.
- The system requires an Intel or AMD dual-core processor with at least two cores.
- The system requires at least 2 GB of RAM but 4 GB is recommended for optimal performance.
- The installation requires 150 MB of free space and additional storage for image files.
- The creation of WinPE boot media requires Windows ADK as an optional component.
