This is the software publisher's description:
DriveImage XML is an easy-to-use and reliable program for imaging and backing
up partitions and logical drives. Features include the ability to backup logical
drives and partitions to image file, browse these images, view and extract
files, restore these images to the same or a different drive, copy directly from
drive to drive and schedule automatic backups with your Task Scheduler.
Image creation uses Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services (VSS), allowing you to
create safe "hot images" even from drives currently in use.
Images are stored in XML files, allowing you to process them with third-party
tools. Never again be stuck with a useless backup. Restore images to drives
without having to reboot.
DriveImage XML runs under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista
only. The program will back up, image and restore drives formatted with FAT 12,
16, 32 and NTFS.
Since this program is currently distributed as freeware, we don't offer
technical support for it. Please refer to the program's help file and
documentation.
