Product Overview

Customized products for your application

• Standard Edition

  The Standard Edition copies hard disk to hard disk (Hard-Disk Cloning) in the same computer and at the same time, permits the enlargement or reduction of FAT partitions. There may be any number of partitions on the disk, and the size of the partitions can be tailored either automatically ("Best Fit") or manually to your requirements.

• Advanced Edition

  In addition, the Advanced Edition makes it possible to save entire hard disks in compressed image files, and a new hard disk can be generated from these files at any time. Other features of the Advanced Edition are, for example, the batch mode for working without user inputs, copying of hard disks which are partially defective, extreme speed achieved by special copying modes and lots more.

• Advanced Edition Recovery Only

  The rather attractively priced Advanced Edition Recovery Only can restore image files generated by the full version Advanced Edition to a hard disk and is therefore the first choice mainly for the Disaster Recovery after a system crash. Even the automatic installation of operating systems is simplified to a great extent by the batch mode.
