Active Disk Image is a PC backup solution that creates a complete copy of an entire computer or specific disks, including the operating system, applications, and user files. It replicates any PC disk (HDD, SSD, USB, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) and saves it in a designated folder.
Disk images can be used for various purposes, including backups, PC upgrades, or disk duplication. In the event of a computer failure, you can use a backup image to restore your entire system or recover specific files from the image.
Active Disk Image allows you to create an image of data stored on selected hard disk partitions or of the entire disk.

What’s New in Active Disk Image version 26.0.4 (2026-02-26) :
- Folder-level search — Search scope matches your current selection (volume or folder), avoiding full-volume indexing when not needed
- Selective volume indexing — Only the selected volume is indexed; other partitions in the image are skipped
- Improved indexing progress — Shows the volume or folder being scanned and the current directory being read
- Fixed indexing cancellation — Cancel now reliably stops the background scan
- Added language translation for Disk Image Explorer (English, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese)
