Now Let’s ask Why you must backup your data!
 
Most users learn how valuable a reliable and up-to-date backup after they suffer their first loss of important files as a result of software, hardware or user error. When you back up a PC, O&O DiskImage saves all personal files as well as hard drive information and individual settings. This will protect important files and documents and saves you the trouble of time-consuming new setup of Windows and programs. In addition, O&O DiskImage 14 you let you restore the Image onto a new PC with different hardware with the help of the built-in MIR function.
 
Why Image is important for you?
 
Backup of your system and data in the form of an Image is much better than simple copy of your data on external storage devices. You will never lose any of your important data. The huge advantage with an Image is that it takes up much less space. Using special algorithms, it is also able to recognize and save just the changes made since the previous image (follow-up images). This way you can easily manage your Images and when disaster strikes, simply restore your lost data with a few mouse clicks.
 
What are the New Features in O&O DiskImage 14?
 
DiskImage To Go:
 
In the previous releases of the program you need to do regular back up of your machineand to create separate O&O DiskImage boot media to restore that backup. Everything is easier now! The new DiskImage To Go function automatically turns an external hard drive that you select to store an image on into an O&O DiskImage boot medium, and marks this disk as the preferred storage medium for future system backups. Once you connect this external USB hard disk to your computer, the program will automatically create an image of all internal drives and the data partition onto it. In this way; it is easy to create a recent backup and restore the image if something really happens to your computer or you want to transfer your system and all your data to a new computer. DiskImage boot medium makes the process very easy with just one touch of a button. You will not need to search for the boot medium and the external hard drive with the backup.
 
Support for VHDX Format
 
O&O DiskImage 14 now brings full support for the Virtual Hard Disk (VHDX) Format. The main advantage of VHDX is its increased storage capacity of 64 TB (terabytes), instead of VHD’s standard storage limit of 2 TB. Another advantage of VHDX is the file corruption protection.
 
O&O DiskImage 14 main uses and Functions
 
All default and advanced features are combined in one single product.

This backup software is the safest and easiest way to avoid losing important personal files!

 
Options are available for both auto backup and manual settings.
 
Thanks to a unique recovery system that includes additional system recovery tools combined with O&O DiskImage you’ll quickly be able to restore all your important data – even if the backup you’re using was created with an older O&O DiskImage version.
 
Backup entire PCs, hard drives or files with the push of a button

Plug-and-play function
 
This feature is ideal for users who forget to carry out regular backups or who don’t want to go through the trouble. Once configured, the auto backup function runs by itself.
 
You can select files and folders that will be backed up automatically as soon as an external hard disk is connected to the computer.
 
Create a boot medium directly from within the program

This is done using Boot Medium (USB Stick or CD/DVD) which is based on the currently installed Windows system and which contains all the standard drivers required.

Machine Independent Restoration:

It is well known that you can restore a system partition (image or clone) onto the same computer or another with identical hardware. O&O DiskImage now offers you the option of restoring an image, even the system partition, onto a computer with different hardware using the M.I.R. function (Machine Independent Restoration). You can also clone a computer with different hardware. You also need to enable M.I.R. if you've made changes to the hardware after imaging and these changes affect the functionality of the Windows operating system.

Program Settings:

These are categorized under many buttons; general, security, notification, drive imaging, drive restoration, clone drive, file backup, file restoration, and jobs and reports

Make a complete system image both before and immediately after the Windows 10 upgrade

If you plan to upgrade to Windows 10, It is recommended that you make an image copy of your whole system with O&O DiskImage 14. Should problems arise during the upgrade process or your other software is incompatible, you can quickly go back to where you were beforehand.

Conclusion:

O&O DiskImage 14 is one of the best backup applications. It helps to keep all your data secure and protected through scheduled backup and image copies. You can easily restore your system at any time. It allows you to turn back the clock any time you need to!

I  have used O&O DiskImage for the last 3-4 years. I have not tried the new  O&O DiskImage 14.Currently I am using O&O DiskImage 12 and there is a lot to like about it. First of all it is very reliable and has never failed me. It is also very  feature rich. You can backup an entire computer or single files even while the computer is being used. SSD drives are also supported.  You can also perform a system restore, or clone an entire PC or hard drive. Best yet, you can restore the backups onto a PC whose hardware is different from the original PC.  
One of the features that I use regularly is to merge incremental images. Which means if you have created several incremental images, you can combine them into a new base image which now becomes a  “complete” image. So older images that contain only changes can be deleted once the merge has been completed.  This is great to help save space and reduce the number of images.
O&O DiskImage 14 has a number of new features , of which the best is that you no longer need to create a separate boot media to restore your backups.  This is called DiskImage  To Go, which turns the external hard drive where the backup  images are stored into the boot medium so that once you connect this external USB drive to your computer  the program will create an image of all internal drives and the data partition onto it.  You no longer need to search for the boot medium and the external drive that the backup is stored on.
The other new feature is VHDX format. Virtual Hard Disk (VHDX) Format. The advantage of VHDX is an increase of storage capacity to 64 terabytes. VHD’s standard storage limit was 2 terabytes.
The following note is a quote from the O&O DiskImage software manual:  Please make sure that no other backup or imaging software is installed on your computer when installing or working with O&O DiskImage.  This can lead to complications with the filter driver, especially when different software is working simultaneously on multiple drives.
In my opinion Disk Imaging software is just as important as anti-virus protection. Without a good, reliable backup it would be hard to recover from ransom ware attacks, data loss, virus problems and all sorts of other issues that would require you to reformat you computer.
Think of it as another layer of added security and peace of mind.

As we can tell, the interface of O&O DiskImage is quite easy to use when it comes to the backup process. In addition, O&O DiskImage 14 has a few new and useful features that can be of use to many users. The first one is the DiskImage To Go: it makes it much easier for user who use O&O DiskImage boot medium a lot to make a copy of the entire system. The second new feature is the added support for VHDX format: good news for users who would like to upgrade from VHD format. Basically, everyone needs a solid backup software to protect their valuable data. O&O DiskImage 14 offers all the backup solutions we may need and it is definitely a very good choice for both reliable and cost-effect backups.
