You can browse an image file, view/extract files from it, or restore the image to the same or different drive. It also has a function to help you clone one hard disk to another.

Dave: Many programs that have access to system areas and require admin rights are difficult to effectively virtualize by Sandboxie or other programs.

I have my doubts regarding how "portable" this program is. I know it's popular...but portable...not so sure. I decided to try running it in a sandbox (Sandboxie). It wouldn't even install in the sandbox. Makes me think this program is trying to install a driver and sandboxie is stopping it. If so, then it's not portable in my sense of the word.

i remember people used to have issues with this program and i think it maybe used to be vaporware but the concept seems cool. if people need an alternative, try Todo BackUp. it's also freeware.

Success! I was able to boot Win7 after restoring an image using v2.0.2 on UBCD4win, that was made using v2.1.3. What I had to do was run the bootrec /Rebuildbcd command from the Windows repair console command prompt. Also I had to delete the bootmgr and C:\boot\bcd files from my second hard drive due to past attempts at repairing the startup. Not sure if the old version of DIXml actually caused this now. Could have been that pesky problem between the keyboard and the chair. :) But I got it to boot without restoring another image!

WARNING: As Aghgot said, this newer version is not compatible with current Bart PE or UBCD4win (4/2010 release contains v2.0.2.) Put this portable version on your boot disk in order to restore partitions made with it -- or 2.1.0 - 2.1.3. (Tip: A Win7 image restore will boot if you have the install CD in the drive though. Strange, I know. But then you can put this portable version on a USB and boot Bart PE again. There is a new Bart PE plugin 2.14 on the author's website too. You can even try changing the hard drive or BCD options via their FAQ. I am going to try this before re-imaging again, personally. Will report back.)

The page here says version 2.14, but it is 2.13 at the runtime site.

I use Ghost and I have tried all the others including this and I will tell you all that Ghost is by far the best at backing up partitions and whole drives, I have been using Ghost for over ten years and NEVER had a problem.

On runtime software's web site:
System Requirements: Pentium Processor - 256 MB RAM
Windows XP, 2003, Vista, or Windows 7
this web site says only xp & vista. When making it portable, does that prevent it from working on win 7 or is this web site just not up to date?

included vista repair tool fixed my ghost8 clone attempt on a vista machine. saved me having to use vista restore DVD. this is going into my collection.
I really wanted to try this but it kept crashing on Vista.. I guess I'm stuck with Clonezilla (not such a bad thing, actually)
