A disk image is not a software or application, which can not be installed or uninstalled, it is a file or storage device that contains contents and structure representing a data storage medium or device. Creating disk image can be the safest way to backup the computer data, that’s why it is my favorite backup method. A disk image can help you restore everything in your system including all your personal data, system settings, the software/application you installed, etc within clicks. From Windows 7, the disk image creating feature is available as a default tool in the system, here I’ll show you how to use it correctly to create a disk image to protect your computer data:
1. Go to Start > Getting Started, click on Back up your files.
2. Click the link of Create a system image.
3. Customize the location to save the image. (You can save the image to an external hard drive to save disk space in your local computer)
4. Select the drives you want to back up.
5. Click to confirm and the Windows will start the backup immediately.
