Publisher's Description
SelfImage is the little hard drive utility with big aspirations. In its current incarnation, SelfImage is capable of making an image of a hard disk partition and writing it to another - useful for making backups.

Use SelfImage to create a disk image of any partition and even partitions that Windows does not recognize (Linux partitions, etc).

Additionally, when run on Windows 2000 or XP, SelfImage can create images of partitions that Windows doesn´t have mounted on a drive letter. Perfect for the dual-boot system, you can create an image backup of a Linux partition directly from Windows.

Features:

* Create 1:1 image files of any mounted (or unmounted on Windows 2000/XP) hard disk partition.
* Can create an image of an entire hard disk, including the master boot record, partition table, and all partitions (Windows 2000/XP)
* Restore previously created images to any partition, even mounted ones, as long as it doesn´t have open files.
* On-the-fly compression accelerated with parallel CPU support to take advantage of today´s hyperthreaded, multi-core and SMP systems.
* Skip reading a disk´s "free space", treating it as if it were zero. This decreases the size of a compressed image and makes it process MUCH faster. NEW Version 1.2.0 can now do this for Linux ext2/ext3 partitions as well.
* NEW Available as an experimental BartPE plugin for use in boot/rescue CDs.
* Network Block Device support to make images of disks on remote machines, and restore back to them.
* Multi-threaded design for maximum throughput and low CPU overhead.
* It´s free software - free as in cost, and free as in open source - released under the GNU General Public License.

    Image restoration is difficult in SelfImage. I'm talking about the system partition, which matters than most.

    Does it work in Vista x64? (I'm not so sure)

    It doesn't let you backup from within Windows I guess. It has to restart to backup. Of course all of them has to restart to do the restoration. Also, does it allow you to create a bootable disc? TrueImage does, and it does more than that. It allows you to override boot settings and make it load before Windows so that in case you can't log into Windows, you can load it and restore an image from it (without needing a bootable CD). This is one of the most important features of TrueImage for me.
