O&O DiskImage 22

Server imaging and backup technology

• Complete system images (disk images) for server operating systems and data volumes
• Differential and incremental images to optimize storage and backup times
• Forensic sector-by-sector images for exact 1:1 copies of critical server data
• Hot imaging on the fly – backups without interrupting server operations
• Automated background backups (unattended backups) by schedule or event
• Support for all modern Windows server file systems (NTFS, FAT/FAT32, exFAT, ReFS*)
• Support for physical and virtual server environments (Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox)
• Compression and encryption options for efficient and secure server backups
• Support for large disks and server volumes (over 2TB, GPT)

Server Recovery & Disaster Recovery

• Restore entire servers or individual partitions
• System Restore on Identical or Different Hardware
• Machine Independent Restoration (M.I.R.) for fast hardware changes
• Recover from Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
• Bootable boot environments for critical server emergencies (USB, ISO, WIM)
• Unattended Restore – automated recovery without user intervention
• Optional auto-restore workflows for highly automated server environments
• Fast recovery of individual volumes or entire server landscapes
• Support for multiple recovery points for flexible disaster recovery

Virtualization & Migration Scenarios

• Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) – Convert servers to virtual machines
• Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) – Trace virtual systems back to real server hardware
• Support for hybrid migration and archiving scenarios
• Long-term archiving of entire servers as virtual image inventories

Boot media & WinRE integration for servers
