O&O DiskImage 23 Premium Combines Local Backups with Additional Cloud Backup

O&O Software releases O&O DiskImage 23 Premium, the latest version of its data backup and system recovery software for Windows. Key new features include a completely redesigned, guided user interface, an additional backup option for user-selected cloud storage, and the ability to set up automatic backup chains. These enhancements make regular data backup clearer and allow for greater flexibility in meeting individual requirements.

O&O DiskImage enables the backup of entire Windows systems, individual drives and partitions, as well as specific files and folders. When needed, both individual data items and complete systems can be restored. The new version builds upon these capabilities, specifically simplifying the setup, monitoring, and automated execution of regular backups.

New guided user interface for greater clarity
The completely redesigned user interface of O&O DiskImage 23 Premium consolidates key data backup information into a central view. Users gain an overview of their current protection status, completed backups, and upcoming tasks.

Supplementary notes and recommendations highlight any necessary actions and assist in selecting the next steps – most of which can be completed with just a few clicks. This makes both the initial setup and the ongoing management of data backups easier to handle.

Additional Cloud Backup with Custom Cloud Storage
With O&O DiskImage 23 Premium, users can choose to store their locally created backups in a cloud storage location of their choice. They are not tied to a specific cloud provider; instead, they can use their own S3-compatible storage—or even local NAS or server systems—as an additional backup destination.

Data is first backed up to a local storage medium. The resulting backup is then automatically transferred to the additional cloud storage location. This upload takes place in the background, allowing work on the computer to continue uninterrupted.

Combining local backups with an additional external copy ensures that backed-up data is available in two separate locations. This provides extra protection – for instance, in the event that a local storage medium is damaged or fails.

Automated Backup Chains for Regular Backups
O&O DiskImage 23 Premium also simplifies the setup of automated backup chains. Users can define the intervals at which their data should be backed up and have the corresponding backup processes configured automatically.

Once set up, backups continue automatically according to the chosen schedule, eliminating the need to manually start or manage individual backup operations.

This feature makes the long-term organization of regular backups easier and reduces administrative effort while ensuring the best possible recoverability. Making data backup simple and reliable

“Regular data backup should be as easy as possible to set up and require minimal attention during daily use. That is why, with O&O DiskImage 23 Premium, we have further enhanced the user experience and automation capabilities. The option to integrate personal cloud storage also gives our users greater flexibility regarding where they store their backups,” explains Olaf Kehrer, co-founder and Managing Director of O&O Software GmbH.

Proven data backup and system recovery features
In addition to these new features, O&O DiskImage 23 Premium continues to offer comprehensive functionality for backing up and restoring Windows systems. These include:

• Complete system and data backup: Backup of entire Windows systems, drives, and partitions, as well as individual files and folders.
• Incremental and differential backups: Subsequent backups only include changed data, thereby reducing the time and storage space required.
• Backup during operation: Backups can be created while Windows and applications remain in use.
• Emergency system recovery: Complete systems can be restored even if Windows fails to boot.
• Restoration to different hardware: Backed-up systems can be restored following a hardware change or can be restored to a different computer.
• Targeted restoration of individual files: Files and folders can be recovered from existing backups without having to restore the entire system.
• Backup encryption: AES-256-bit encryption protects backup files against unauthorized access.
• Flexible backup destinations: Backups can be stored on internal and external drives as well as network storage, among other locations.
