A regular backup is still something that many users prefer to avoid. At least that is until they suffer their first loss of important files as a result of software, hardware or user error: that's when it becomes crystal clear just how valuable a reliable and up-to-date backup really is!

New in v16:
O&O have made two big new additions to DiskImage 16, these are the built-in recovery partition and the "DiskImage To Go" feature which helps make recovery media automatically available.

As can be seen in the image above, one of the big improvements in version 16 is the automatic building of a recovery partition on the main system drive when DiskImage is installed. Because this is all done automatically there is less chance that you will forget to manually create recovery media when configuring the software and once configured means there will always be a recovery partition to boot into should your PC not boot up as normal for any reason. As such, thanks to the automatic nature of this feature, recovery becomes much simpler in the event that you ever require it.

The other big new feature is the "Disk Image To Go" tool which will automatically detect which external drives are being used by DiskImage and will, in-turn, add the recovery media onto said drives. This approach, along with the above recovery partition, means users will never forget to create recovery media and if PC recovery is ever needed then such recovery media will always be available.

Whilst these two new features might seem small on the surface, I think how they operate actually makes them both very useful additions to DiskImage. The reality is many users of backup software will forget or simply put off making recovery media until it is too late, as such having it made available automatically for you is a simple but very throughout addition the this offering, so far very impressive!
