Free Hardisk Backup Software

Tired spending your money for backup software like Norton Ghost ($65) or Acronis True Image ($49)?

DriveImage XML could be the best alternative for you. DriveImage XML is an easy to use and reliable program from Runtime specially developed for imaging and backing up partitions and local drives. Best of all, it’s a freeware.

This program enables you to:

  • Backup local drives and partitions to image files
  • Browse these images, view and extract files
  • Restore these images to the same or a different drive
  • Copy directly from drive to drive
  • Schedule automatic backups with Task Scheduler

DriveImage XML uses Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Services (VSS) so that you are able to create safe ‘hot images’ even from drives currently in use.

Images are stored in .xml files which are not propertiery and readable by any program which support the format, allowing you to process them using third party tools. You are also able to restore images to drives without having to reboot.

However, before you sing your praise or do anything with this software please do note that Runtime doesn’t offer any technical support so please refer to the program file help, F.A.Qs and documentation for a trouble-free backup process.

System Requirements:

Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista
