It allow you to dig in the image file to recover a single file or folder, without restoring the full backup.
Once installed to windows, it allow you to generate a bootable USB key, who allow you to work on disk without their operating system on memory. Not corruption risk.
And much more.
From all the other software I have ever tried, it's the best one.
It's shareware for personal use, no need to crack it.
If you want to skip the register step, use this direct URL :
