O&O DiskImage 6 offers users an easy way of securing their data, be that by way of a drive image (image) or file backup (backup). The One-Click Imaging enables an entire computer to be backed-up with just one click. The Information Bar leads users step-by-step through the process offering many useful tips along the way. Restoring an image is equally simple, with single files for example from a file backup capable of being restored using popular compression programs such as WinZIP.
O&O DiskImage doesn’t however just secure data, but whole computers too. Restoring an image means the old computer setup is quickly brought back to life, regardless of whether it is onto the computer where the image was created or onto another machine. O&O DiskImage 6 can restore a system image or duplicate onto both identical hardware and onto different hardware, for instance where the Motherboard or the Processor has been changed. When moving to another computer, the old system configuration with all settings is transferred to the new system.
Thanks to the O&O DiskImage 6 Boot CD based on Windows PE – a self-contained operating system – users can also swap defective drivers or modify dead systems so that they boot up once more. This function is even possible without having to recover an image created using O&O DiskImage 6.
Do you agree?

Very very slow
The good:
Does everything it says.
Cheap
Full 64 bit support
The Bad:
This is the slowest imaging program I have ever seen or used taking 45 minutes to image a partition which same partition takes 12 minutes with Acronis 11. In version 2 it was possible to set the default store directory with version 3 it is not.
My opinion:
If you have lots of time and use 64 bit it is OK for the price otherwise look elsewhere.
