Disk Images
Disk Image is a mirror of your logical drive or physical device
that is stored in one file. This can be useful when you want to
backup the contents of the whole drive, and restore it or work with
it later. Before you start recovering the deleted files, it may be a
good idea to create a Disk Image for this drive, if you have enough
space at another drive. Why? Because if you do something wrong while
recovering the files (for example, recovering them onto the same
drive could destroy their contents), you still will be able to
recover these deleted files and folders from the Disk Image that you
have wisely created.
Active@ UNDELETE provides extensive functionality to operate with
Disk Images. You can create image of either Logical drive, Device or
Partition. Save it as one large file or splitted on image chunks
with size you prefer for later use.
When you creating Disk Image, it stores in at least two files:
one is Configuration file and the second - actual image body file.
If you decide to save disk image chopped on peaces (chunks) then
image body files can be as many as its required to save data.
Example: (create Drive Disk Image of size 7,84 Gb with
options to make it with 1Gb chunks)
MyImage.dim - Logical Drive Image configuration file
MyImage.000 1 441 Kb - First chunk of image body
MyImage.001 1 441 Kb - Second chunk of image body
MyImage.002 1 071 Kb - And last chunk of image body
