We would like to show you a few short steps how you can quickly get starting using Laplink DiskImage
What is Laplink DiskImage?
With Laplink DiskImage you can quickly and easily create a backup of your entire PC, your hard disk(s) and partitions. Even individual files and directories can be easily backed up. In the event of data loss, with a backup created with O&O DiskImage, your backed-up data will be quickly available again with just a few mouse clicks – even if Windows does not start again.
Laplink DiskImage offers a variety of features to help protect against data loss. It is recommended after the first installation to create a boot medium and a full image to immediately be fully protected against data loss. Depending on the size of your hard drives, the image may take a while.
To create this kind of partition, please do as follows:
- Open Laplink DiskImage and click Recovery media.
- If you already created an empty partition, select Choose.
- Or you can have Laplink DiskImage create the partition for you by clicking Create.
- In the open dialog, select the drive from the dropdown menu where you want the O&O DiskImage RecoveryPartition to be created. If you want to use a partition you already created, select it from the drive list.
- You can use the Laplink DiskImage RecoveryPartition as your default path for future backups. If you chose this option for creating a new partition, the Laplink DiskImage RecoveryPartition created might be very large so that there’ll be enough space for backups. In the field Maximum size you can change the size of the Laplink DiskImage RecoveryPartition to meet your requirements.
- By clicking OK, a bootable image will be generated. If ever an error occurs while the system is booting, the Laplink Image boot environment will start automatically and you’ll be able to restore a backup.
- Once creation is completed, we recommend making a complete or One-click image. To do this, switch over to Drive imaging and run the imaging option you want. If you selected the Laplink DiskImage RecoveryPartition as your default backup path, the image will be saved there.
We hope you enjoy using Laplink DiskImage!
