System Image Catalog


This list contains the drive images created with a backup.You can mount an image from the list, browse its content and copy files and folders from this image to your computer.
 


 

An image backup catalog file is stored in the hidden folder "System Volume Information" on your system hard drive containing the Windows installation. This cataloge file contains informations about every image backup you performed. The window above displays the information contained in the cataloge and gets opened when you select a backup-set in Z-DBackup with which a drive image has been created and then hit 'View' or 'Restore - Select files to restore' .

In the default view only the most recent image of each drive is displayed, but you can choose to display the backup information of all previous images. You can mount the most recent image of a drive and allocate a drive letter to it. This allows you to browse the image like a normal drive and copy single files from the image to your computer without having to restore the whole drive from the image.

 Note that only the most recent image of every drive can be mounted. For older images only certain information about the backup can be displayed.
