Once a imaging job has been completed, the software allows incremental imaging, such that only changes that have been made since the last image session will be placed in the update image file.

Images give one the ability to quickly build an existing software installation based on the image file. The file is a compressed version of what exist on the source drive, but in a format readable only by the imaging program. However, there are times when one will want to make an exact copy, or clone. Caution is recommended when performing this task, as the destination drive will be completely duplicated by the originating data drive.

Other imaging options include adding comments to images, validating an image and creating a virtual disk drive.

The image file is saved with a .omg extension and will be used during an image restoration process, which a simple reversal of the imaging steps: chose the image and target drive then execute. Not difficult to understand or complete.
