Creating images with Drive Snapshot

If data is corrupted or even completely lost, it is usually very annoying. If you want to avoid such trouble, you should make regular backup copies. There are a number of programs on the market that create an exact image of your hard disk or part of it (= partition) and save it in a specified location. The saved image is called an image. An image can be used to quickly restore important data in the event of a problem.

octoplant supports the creation of images with Drive Snapshot from Tom Ehlert Software.

Requirement
