O&O DiskImage review
A Windows-focused backup suite with strong imaging and recovery coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
O&O DiskImage is backup and recovery software for Windows computers and servers. It creates full system, drive, partition, forensic sector-based, and file-based backups, with restore options for individual files, partitions, drives, or complete systems. Home users are directed toward the Premium Edition, while Professional 22 and Server 22 address business workstations and server environments. Its feature set suits people who want traditional disk imaging rather than a mobile or multi-platform backup service.
Pricing follows a paid, one-time licensing model. Professional 22 costs $49.95 one time, while Server 22 costs $299 one time. The plans also include Premium Edition and a 5-computer license. A 30-day Premium trial is available, although some Premium trial features are limited. Across the product, scheduled automated jobs, incremental and differential backups, disk cloning, encrypted images, and VHD/VHDX conversion and mounting give buyers several ways to manage local recovery workflows without committing to a recurring subscription.
O&O DiskImage fits Windows environments that rely on Windows Recovery Environment, bootable recovery media, NAS devices, network shares, or VHD/VHDX files. Restore to different hardware and forensic sector-based backups add value for system migration and detailed disk capture, while ransomware protection is included in its category specifications. The trade-off is a Windows-only design with limited ecosystem breadth and no mobile backup. Choose it for structured Windows imaging, recovery, and server coverage; consider another category option if broad platform support or wider integrations is a priority.
