Download TeraByte Drive Image Backup & Restore Suite 2026

To restore your data, programs, and operating systems to the state at the time the backup was created, boot from the recovery disk and restore the partition(s) or drive(s) you need. It’s that easy. As a vital component of the TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite, Image For Windows utilizes either the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or PHYLock, an add-on component included in the suite. VSS and PHYLock allow you to continue using your computer while the backup is locked to a point in time. This eliminates the inconsistencies typically experienced while backing up a partition in use. Image For Windows runs under the Windows operating system. Yet it can back up or restore any partition, including DOS or Linux partitions, and even those encrypted by third-party software.

TeraByte drive image files produced by Image For Windows are compatible across all TeraByte Unlimited disk imaging products with the same major version number (i.e., all 3.x products are compatible with other 3.x products). This gives you the flexibility to restore disk images using your preferred component. The TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite includes Images For Windows, Linux, DOS, and the OSD Tool Suite. Image for DOS and Linux support the same powerful drive image functionality without requiring a working Windows installation. Automatically recognizes and backs up the used area of FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, ReiserFS, and XFS partitions.

It also identifies and backs up used areas of ReFS and exFAT partitions using Windows support. Partitions with other file system types can be backed up in their entirety. Supports all standard partitions in an MBR, EMBR, or GPT. It runs directly from Windows and, when used with the free PHYLock add-on, can create an accurate image of the Windows partition without requiring a reboot. Bonus: The TeraByte OS Deployment Tool Suite (TBOSDTS) Pro version contains a set of powerful scripts that, among other things, will help you deploy Windows to completely different hardware. If you need Windows software, follow the link below to download it.
