Some features of Back4Sure

• Freeware
  Back4Sure is unlimited freeware for private and commercial use. Please see the license agreement in the downloadable files for further details.
• Easy folder selection
  You can easily select multiple folders from the directory tree to include them into the backup set. Just as easy you can exclude certain folders from the backup.
• Efficient filter system
  You can easily create filter set to determine which files to include in or to exclude from the backup. And this not only for the whole backup, but also for individual folders.
• Compression option with adjustable directory depth
  Backups may be stored in a compressed format. If you choose to enable compression, you can specify the directory depth from which on all files are packed into a single archive file. This way you can avoid very large archives and improve overall safety of you backup process.
• Cleanup the target directory
  After larger restructuring of your file organization, lots of files in the backup target directory do not have corresponding source files anymore. Using the cleanup function of Back4Sure you can easily remove those orphaned files from the target directory.
• Logging of the backup process
  All actions performed during backup may be logged into a plain text file. You can choose between two different formats of the log file: either an easy to read version or version in ini format optimized for automated analysis.
• Creating desktop links to backup jobs
  You can easily create a desktop link to a backup job from within the program, from which the backup job can be directly started by just double clicking it.
• Portable use or fixed installation
  Besides the normal setup file for a fixed installation, a zipped version for use from a USB drive is also available.

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.
