Backing Up Windows Disks as Disk Image Objects

A disk image backup is a high-speed backup of disks, disk partitions, or logical volumes without tracking the file and directory structure stored on these data sources.

Use a disk image backup in the following situations:

•You have lots of small files and a high backup speed is required.

•A full disk backup is needed, for example, for disaster recovery or before a major software update.

•A direct disk-to-disk connection is not possible and you want to duplicate a filesystem to another disk. The latter must be identical to the original disk.
