DrvImagerXP v2.2 656,504 bytes.
Unlike typical backup programs that copy files, DrvImagerXP makes
backups (image files) of NTFS and FAT32 drive partition structures (as
well as floppy disks), for the Windows 2000/XP operating systems, by
copying, byte-for-byte, the drive partition sectors. And when not using
file compression, can do this very quickly, much faster than copying
files.
You'll never have to install your operating system again! You can install it, make all your option changes and get it just right, then use DrvImagerXP to create a partition image that you could name "Fresh Install". If you need to go back to a brand new fresh installation of your operating system, you can restore the partition using the "Fresh Install" image in just a few minutes.
You can make partition images of different operating systems and swap them in and out at will!
Though not as powerful and flexible as "Drive Image" or "Ghost" drive imaging programs, the simplicity, yet powerful capabilities of DrvImagerXP make it the favorite choice for many.
DrvImagerXP is freeware! Pass it around! Give it to your friends! Let me know what you think of it!

The backup image file is an exact reproduction of the entire drive partition.
DrvImagerXP takes a snapshot of your drive partition, saving every aspect of that partition, so later if you want your partition exactly like it was the moment you took that snapshot, you can restore it back to that point in time in minutes, much faster than with file backups.
