Publisher's description of R-Drive Image 4.2

R-Drive Image creates disk image files for backup or duplication purposes. Disk image file contains exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive, partition or logical disk and can be created with various compression levels on the fly without stopping Windows OS. Drive image files are stored in a variety of places, including various removable media. Images are restored on the original disks, on any other partitions or even on a hard drive's free space. A special bootable diskette is created to restore system partition. MS Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), dynamic disks and BSD slices are supported. To restore only certain files from a disk image, the image is connected as a virtual disk and files are copied directly from the disk image using Windows Explorer or any other file utility. A free 15-day trial version allows verifying all R-Drive Image capabilities except creation and restoration a disk image when R-Drive Image is launched from a bootable floppy disk created by the trial version.

Version 4.2 adds acceleration of image creation and disc copy operations, differential image creation. A bootable module can be written to a CD/DVD disc together with the image data.

  Version: R-Drive Image 4.2

  "Not a secure backkup image - did not perform as claimed"

  by macromike on March 7, 2008

  Pros: worked fine as long as the image will fit onto one DVD. would not correctly span multiple DVD's with systems that require more that one DVD to fit the image onto. Also works fine if you put the image on a separate partition on THE SAME MACHINE.

  Cons: 1) A scheduled backup image will fail when trying to save the image on a

  network drive - however it will if you manually do a image creation using

  the GUI.

  2) Tried multiple times to create DVD images that would take about 4 discs

  for my system. My first attempt it created the first disc and appeared to

  create the second, but, when the disc was put back into the drive, it would

  not read the disc at all. The second time I tried it again and it created

  two discs successfully but failed on the 3rd Disc.

  3) Regular CD images - keeps giving me a message that the disc is not empty

  when in fact it is.

  4) Many of the help buttons don't work - how can you put out a product like

  this before fully testing it?

  I'm a programmer and if I'm having an issue with it I can only imagine the

  frustration the common computer user would have.

  The only way your product works if you store the image on a separate partion

  on the same machine and as far as the DVD, as long as the image is small

  enough to fit onto 1 DVD then it will work.

  If your product is loaded on a computer attached for example to a corporate

  network where there are several network drives - the scanning for all

  possible cd writers bogs down the App - not good!

  Version: R-Drive Image 4.2

  "Doesn't live up to promises and slow backups"

  by newpl on March 24, 2008

  Pros: Good feature set. Concept is good

  Cons: -Made my machine crash when backing up via the gui

  -Extremely slow backup times

  -Poor support

  I was creating an image via the bootable CD. With no compression, for a 40GB hard drive, it was running at 20 hours +. I might as well reinstall everything with that time frame.

  I contacted support. They replied saying it depends are hardware. When I sent my hardware specs via their hardware scanner, it has been 4 weeks and I have yet to hear anything back. No further response to my emails. If they don't know, they should say so.
