Snapshot - DiskImaging for Windows NT/2000/XP
SnapShot is disk imaging software, that enables the user to backup, restore and view backuped hard disk data, easily and
safely.
Using WindowsNT driver technology, Snapshot brings two new features to disk imaging:
Snapshot Backup - create disk images while Windows is running
This allows the user to work in his usual environment, when backing up his data.
Any device suitable for file storage can be used for the image destination, like
your local drive, a network drive, any removable drive
And - most important - the image will be an industry quality image, even though WinNT
constantly writes to the disk.
The user may continue to work normally, while a backup operation is in progress; the image will still be valid and consistent.
This enables one of the most important things in backup business: backup often
It is even possible to make image backup for servers, that must be online 24 hours each day.
More details about Snapshot Backup
Snapshot Backup - Main use
Snapshot Backup is aimed at the backup/disaster recovery market. There is little use for on the fly disk image creation, if you want to deploy hundreds or thousands of workstations.
We think however, that the possibility to do on the fly backup is very important for the end user to
regularly protect his data. At least, this was our reason to create Snapshot.
No need to shut down and boot from floppy, no need to create network disks, and no need to wait half an hour for the backup process - we think that's nice.
Snapshot View - Explore saved disk images the friendly way
The image file is presented to he user as a virtual drive. This virtual drive can be used like any other drive, using any Windows program, be it Explorer, Norton Commander, or your
favourite MP3 Player.
