Disk Imaging Using Acronis True Image 2025
What is Disk Imaging?
Disk imaging, also known as ghost imaging, is the process of creating a complete copy of a computer’s hard drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), or a specific partition. This copy, known as an image, contains all the data, applications, and system settings of the original drive. Disk imaging is widely used for restoring a computer to a previous state, setting up new devices, and preloading software. It is also employed for cloning drives and creating image libraries. This technique ensures that systems can be quickly restored or replicated, maintaining operational continuity and efficiency.
