Oct 21, 2009 - Laplink Software provides top-tier disk imaging solution with the launch of Laplink® DiskImage™, its new disk imaging utility for Windows®
Bellevue, WA. --
Laplink Software, Inc. announced today
that it has released its premier disk imaging program – Laplink DiskImage. Based on
award-winning technology already on the market in Europe, Laplink DiskImage brings innovation, more
customization, and greater efficiency – improving greatly upon the standard technology already
available in the marketplace.
“
Laplink Diskimage offers reliable protection
from unforeseen data loss by creating images and restoring entire systems quickly and easily,” said
Randy Clark, Laplink’s COO. “ With DiskImage, automated, as well as custom settings are
available depending on the user’s needs. Also, thanks to the Start CD (which includes
additional system rescue tools) you can quickly have all your important data available again –
even, if Windows fails to start up.”
Users can choose from among various imaging methods such as a creating a complete,
differential or incremental image. The creation of images can be scheduled in advance
resulting in a completely automated process.
“With all the excitement surrounding Windows 7 and Laplink
PCmover®, users would still be wise to create an image in advance of
upgrading or moving to a new PC,” continued Clark. “DiskImage is the perfect complement, or
companion if you will, for PCmover. Using DiskImage, the old computer is preserved as
an image and can be restored or accessed at any time in the future – giving users complete peace of
mind.”
A key feature of DiskImage is the ability to restore Microsoft Virtual Hard Disks (VHD)
directly. Images created with Laplink DiskImage can also be directly burned onto any type of
optical storage disk (CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD).
The Start CD, included with Laplink DiskImage, is based on the current version of Windows PE.
This makes it possible to create images even if the operating system is no longer functional.
Also, the unique DriverLoader feature lets users download drivers later that are not available
immediately at startup.
Laplink DiskImage comes in two different versions – Professional Edition and Server Edition,
which can be installed with or without a user interface.
Laplink DiskImage Unique Features:
Different imaging methods: When creating a complete image,
choose between creating an image of the used data areas and a complete forensic image to guarantee
a successful data restoration. An incremental or differential image saves a substantial quantity of
space, since it only includes data areas which have been changed since the last imaging.
Restoring individual files: DiskImage image files can be
mounted as virtual hard disks. Individual files can easily accessed and copied using Windows
Explorer.
Virtual Hard Disc (VHD): DiskImage makes it possible to
convert images from virtual hard disks (Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk or VHD) into image files of
DiskImage (OMG) and vice versa. A virtual hard disk can be restored directly.
Visualizing data: The graphic display of the hard disk and
drives - similar to the data management from Microsoft Windows - allows for an intuitive selection
of the storage volumes to be imaged or to be restored. Free and used space, as well as the size of
the individual partitions will be shown, which greatly facilitates the management of
data.
Service and Job Status: The system tray icon integrates
with the taskbar and supplies information on the status of services and jobs quickly (and without
any complications), as well as the handling the overall status of DiskImage. At a glance, you
can check on the completion of jobs, and possibly even prevent any unwanted
cancellations.
Enhanced burn function: Laplink DiskImage supports all
important optical storage volumes; all images can be burned on to CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD.
Additional compression types (BZIP): In addition to the
existing compression type LZNT1, the compression type BZIP2 can be selected.
Prices & Availability Laplink DiskImage is now available in the Professional and Server Editions, starting at
$39.95 from
www.laplink.com and soon through major software retailers throughout North
America.
