In their own words
Active@ Disk Image
Active@ Disk Image creates disk images for PC backup, upgrades, duplication, and recovery. It can image occupied clusters or capture raw sectors, then restore those images. Its tools include compression, image verification, splitting files into chunks, and mounting an image as a virtual drive. Standard and Professional feature listings include incremental and differential images; scheduled backups and scripting are also listed. A WinPE-based Active@ Boot Disk Lite component provides bootable media for restoring a PC system disk. Destinations include hard drives, SSDs, removable USB media, optical disks, network shares, NAS, and AWS S3. Encryption options are AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256. Listed Windows support spans Windows 7 through 11 and Windows Server 2003 through 2022. Older Windows versions, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris for PC can be handled in Raw Disk Image mode after booting the recovery media. Freeware and a fully functional 21-day trial are listed. Personal Standard is $49, paid once; business and professional licenses have other listed prices.
