Disk Imaging

Disk imaging is creating an exact copy of all the data on a computer's hard drive or storage device, including files, programs, settings, and the operating system. Think of it like taking a snapshot that captures the entire system state at a specific moment. This copy can be stored externally and used to restore the system quickly if it encounters problems, gets infected by malware, or needs to be migrated to a new device. Disk imaging ensures data integrity and saves time by allowing full system recovery or duplication without manually reinstalling or reconfiguring software.
