Disk Image

A disk image is a complete digital copy of all the data on a storage device, like a hard drive or SSD. It captures everything—files, programs, and system information—in a single file. Think of it as a snapshot that preserves the entire contents of a disk for backup, duplication, or transfer purposes. This allows you to restore or replicate the exact state of the original device later, making disk images useful for data recovery, system deployment, or transferring data between devices efficiently and accurately.
