Feature Set:  

Image for Windows has definitely improved their features and functionality from previous versions. Image for Windows is flexible and is now available to perform differential backups. Differential backups allow the user to backup only files that have changed since the last backup session, saving time and resources.

Another new addition includes password protection and the ability to encrypt your backups. With these additional features, Image for Windows adds more power and flexibility to their disk imaging software.

Ease of Use:  

Image for Windows itself is plain and simple, and straightforward. The control panel is designed to backup and restore drives and run a validation of disk images and a few other options.

You need to read the user guide before creating a backup to become familiar with error messages and solutions, such as the inevitable "unable to obtain a lock on drive C:" error.

Backup/Restore Process:  

Even though creating a backup image of a drive didn't take long, preparing to do so took much longer because we had to read through the user guide before beginning. We had to throw away several CDs before achieving a successful backup. Creating an image took 1 hour and 15 minutes on 12 CDs.

Help/Support:  

Image for Windows does have a few support options with their disk imaging software, but gaining access is more difficult than in our higher ranked products. Most disk imaging programs have convenient access to help and support within the control panel, and Image for Windows doesn’t disappoint. Email support is available as well.

If you want disk imaging software that simply creates an image of your drive with no customization, then Image for Windows might be the product for you. However, we recommend other disk imaging software over Image for Windows because it could be easier to use and lacks a few nice features.
