has the gui changed? last time i tested this it didnt work out to well and was pretty bloated..

 

The v8 GUI on bootcd

 

Andy, Do you know if this application utilizes Windows Shadow Copy?

 

Cool, thanks. I have a soft spot for this tool from when I tested in when it was DriveClone Pro...always worked for me and found their VM conversion tool the best around. I didn't "trust" it enough to be my main imaging tool but still use v7 from time to time for a secondary backup. I'll check this out!

 

not to fond of it after playing with it personally...

 

Sorry, I am not sure

but on bootcd(WinPE), it need not to use Windows Shadow Copy

 

I just take a look for its bootcd, it's quite simple to use
also, speed is not slow
