Version: Drive Snapshot 1.24
Pros: Absolutely incredible!!!! Backed up a 350 gig Raid0 configuration many, many months ago, and I religiously kept backing it up on a weekly basis. Hoped I would never need to restore the volume, but then, quite unexpectedly, disaster struck! Because one of my hard drives totally failed, I was forced to use the DOS restore. It was like magic! Installed new drive, launched Snapshot and waited about two (2) hours. When I rebooted, it was as though nothing had ever happened. Even my Norton Security Suite worked flawlessly, and you KNOW what a pain Norton (Symantec) can be!
I simply cannot put into words just how pleased I am with Snapshot. NOTHING CHANGED!!! My Windows XP license was intact, all of the software I had purchased online operated and was still licensed, and even Windows Update found absolutely nothing I had to change.
READ MY LIPS!!!!! If you are looking for fast, simple and PERFECT disk imaging software, look no farther. Drive Snapshot is the answer.
Cons: NONE!

Version: Drive Snapshot 1.24
"Best drive imaging product, period."
Pros: A single GUI executable and no registry footprint (you can download just the .exe from the developer's web site and avoid the "Setup" routine). Can backup the Windows system volume, while Windows is running, to an image file on the same volume! The latest version (1.37) performs differential backups - only one full backup and the latest differential backup are needed for a full restore (much easier than an incremental restore). Has a commandline interface, also runs under real MS-DOS, and fits on a boot floppy! Images can be password protected and browsed for file extraction, etc. What more could you want?
Cons: The $50 price range may seem slightly steep for a single file that fits on a floppy. But compared to what the "big name" imaging products do for the same price, this product is actually a better deal.
