Selfimage - The free/open-Source hard disk imaging utility

Features include:
  • Create 1:1 image files of any mounted (or unmounted on Windows 2000/XP) hard disk partition.
  • Can create an image of an entire hard disk, including the master boot record, partition table, and all partitions (Windows 2000/XP)
  • Restore previously created images to any partition, even mounted ones, as long as it doesn't have open files.
  • On-the-fly compression accelerated with parallel CPU support to take advantage of today's hyperthreaded, multi-core and SMP systems.
  • Skip reading a disk's "free space", treating it as if it were zero. This decreases the size of a compressed image and makes it process MUCH faster.
  • NEW Version 1.2.0 can now do this for Linux ext2/ext3 partitions as well.
  • Available as an experimental BartPE plugin for use in boot/rescue CDs. SelfImage is also included on the excellent Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD4Win).
  • Network Block Device support to make images of disks on remote machines, and restore back to them.
  • Multi-threaded design for maximum throughput and low CPU overhead.
  • It's free software - free as in cost, and free as in open source - released under the GNU General Public License.
