Backup your data with Drive Image XML

Chris asked me yesterday if I knew of a good freeware backup program for windows and I replied to him that Syncback would be such a tool. I discovered another one and thought it would be nice to share this one with everyone. The backup tool is called Drive Image XML, it is completely freeware and runs in windows xp and windows 2003 server only. If you are running a different version of windows use Syncback.

Drive Image XML is able to backup logical drives and partitions to image files, browse the created images and restore files from them, restore images of course and make direct drive to drive copies. It is possible to schedule tasks with the windows task scheduler, drive image walks you through those steps as well.

It is able to create images from drives that are currently in use – I would not advise to backup a drive or partition while you are working on it though. You will be able to restore drives without rebooting which is a nice feature. Last but not least it works with Fat 12, 16, 32 and NTFS file systems and can be run from a WinPE boot disk.
