Drive Image XML (DiX)


Drive image XML is an excellent alternative to Ghost or other drive cloning and backup software. It copies drive-to-drive, backs up partitions and drives, restores them to the same or different partition or drives, and allows you to browse the backups. The big advantage is that DiX does all of this live, while Windows is running, by using Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services (VSS), allowing you to create safe "hot images" even from drives currently in use.

DriveImage XML runs under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista only. The program will backup, image and restore drives formatted with FAT 12, 16, 32 and NTFS.

I was able to make a portable version of it to carry on my USB drive, and they mention on the website that it is installable on a bootable PE disk.
