Clone Maxx

PC INSPECTOR? clone maxx is the new professional hard drive copying program from CONVAR. Using the new direct DMA support, data can be copied from hard drives in high speed mode with speeds up to 3.3 GB per minute.

This high speed is achieved by PC INSPECTOR? clone maxx through intelligent inspection of the PC motherboard and the hard drive controller. The software independently determines the fastest data transmission rate and achieves these exceptional speeds through optimal utilization of the DMA chipset on the motherboard of your PC.

Big update to DriveImage XML?
July 18th, 2008

" There is a new version of DriveImage XML available today. We now have a new option on compression and we have made the software much faster.

Lets have a look...." (please see the developers blog)

!!IMPORTANT!!
There are a few issues with the new version. The image you make on the new version is not compatible with the old version and vice versa. If you have a BartPE with the old version, rebuild it with the new version as the image will not restore with the old software.

Runtime Software: DriveImage XML

RDilly is program that makes a backup copy of the NT,2K,XP registry. It's very similar to System Restore found in WinME and WinXP. You get a point-in-time copy of the registry labeled with the date it was made. You also are able to restore the registry to this point-in-time copy.

Windows NT,2K,XP or higher. For Vista, this program must be run as Administrator to function.

Freeware, of course!
