How it works

Images are created using Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services (VSS), allowing for "hot images" to be taken of the drive. This means that a drive can be imaged even if it is currently in use. Images are then stored in XML files, also allowing them to be processed with 3rd party tools.

System requirements

DriveImage XML runs under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista only. The drive must be formatted with FAT 12, 16, 32 or NTFS.
