Drive SnapShot is a small program for creating a complete backup of a Windows harddisk partition. This so called “disk-image” or “complete backup” can be created in just a few mouse clicks whilst you are still working on your PC. As a small program it is intended for use by home users as well as PC-technicians, system administrators and companies who need a reliable way to recover from problems with their systems.
This tool allows you to restore individual files and folders from a complete partition backup. Drive SnapShot is a powerful command line interface, ideal for integration into automated backup tasks. In addition to the file systems supported by Drive SnapShot, a complete Windows backup solution is offered by O&O DiskImage Professional, available on GetintoWAY.
