What Is Disk Image?

Disk image is a backup file which contains the content and structure of a hard disk. Sometimes it can also refer to the action of creating a backup image for entire storage device in case of recovery needs. To image a disk like interal hard drive (HDD/SSD), external hard drive, USB flash drive, etc. effectively, you need disk image software with fast speed and simple operation.
