  "Surprisingly good!"

  by Shaker1978 on March 4, 2008

  Pros: The first tool, I encounter, that can backup (even the sys-partition) while in Windows! Not from DOS! Nice features like disk spanning or compression, good UI, you always know what's going on. You're always informed about what you do on which drive.

  Cons: Cannot restore to the active sys-partition. How would I do this with this tool if I had to? The target partition must have at least size of the backed up partition, which is not necessary with Norton Ghost e.g.

  "The best backup utility"

  by Pcfreakske2000 on May 5, 2008

  Pros: It makes a harddisk image of your harddrives and copies it to a folder or any other medium ( CD, DVD, external harddrive ).

  You can also choose to compress the files so that they don't take up too much space.

  Cons: No built-in sheduler, it uses the Windows sheduler ...

  "It's great"

  by Jane Q. Programmer on October 16, 2007

  Pros: It is very easy to install, very easy to backup, very nice-looking. I was able to restore my old drive's image to a new hard drive in a one-drive computer, using the pre-compiled BartPE plugin downloaded from the runtime.org web site.

  And it's free! But after spending days trying to get another paid-for utility to work, I honestly feel that I should send these guys some money for a job well done.

  "Great drive image!"

  by jmaxon on October 11, 2007

  Pros: I looked into a lot of software such as Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image, but after reading all bad reviews on Amazon I looked for something else. I found PartImage which is a free Linux drive image utility that also backs up Windows Drives, but I had several problems with it, including corrupting my external Hard Drive. After working with DriveImage XML it has worked flawlessly for me. It gave me a clean and accurate copy and restore of the entire drive including the OS and other programs. There are helpful YouTube videos on how to use this product, just check the runtime.org site to link to them.

  Cons: Need to create a BartPE or UBCD4Win Boot CD (and add the DriveImage XML Plugin)--it can?t create a copy of your drive with the OS when the OS is active. Also, it will only work on Windows XP and Vista.

  "Fantastic! Vital for backup & recovery."

  by caenet on May 1, 2008

  Pros: Works under Win but also under BartPE/UBCD4W

  which is the better way to run imaging.

  Also does drive to drive imaging ...

  Cons: I wish DIxml gave an option to specify

  the size of the compressed output files.

  Current output is too big for 650mb CDRW

  but does not fill up a 702mb CDRW ...
