There’s an old saying from IT administrators: no backup, no sympathy. Today we release the new version 20 of O&O DiskImage!
The most important security software on your PC
A backup is the most important protection against data loss. With the new O&O DiskImage, a data backup of the entire computer, hard disks and partitions can be created even faster and more conveniently. Individual files and directories can also be easily backed up.
This boot medium can also be used to create a 1:1 copy of a PC when it is switched off, without this PC being modified or O&O DiskImage having to be installed on it. The latest version of O&O DiskImage expands the existing range of functions again and also offers numerous improvements.
Cyber Security and Data Backup: A must in the digital era
The recently published report by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) on the state of IT security shows that ransomware attacks in Germany cause billions of euros in damage every year – a problem that affects companies and private individuals alike and cannot be completely prevented even by the most modern anti-malware solutions. O&O DiskImage 20 offers a powerful, user-friendly and reliable solution to back up valuable data and thus prevent possible loss due to cyber-attacks, hardware failures or other incidents.
According to the current BSI report, ransomware attacks have increased significantly again in the past year. Small and medium-sized companies have increasingly become the target of such attacks, in which attackers encrypt data and demand a ransom. This often results in high recovery costs or data loss that cannot be recovered. However, the key to limiting damage lies in prevention: regular backups of business-critical data.
Support for Windows 11 and Windows 10
O&O DiskImage can be used directly under Windows 11 and Windows 10. Existing images from previ-ous versions can of course still be used. Using the included start environment, images can also be re-stored directly to empty systems, independent of hardware.
Comprehensive functionality for virtual machines
O&O DiskImage now offers a huge range of functions for working with virtual machines. You can now create incremental and differential images of virtual disks, merge them together and mount them as drives.

You can now create incremental and differential images of virtual disks, merge them together and mount them as drives. This is particularly useful if you want to migrate your Windows 10 to Windows 11 “on a trial basis”. You can do this with a virtual machine created from your current system.
