It's always a good idea to keep a backup of all your hard disk data, even if you don't have important files stored on it. In case a virus corrupts your data and operating system, it may take a lot of time to re-install Windows and all the drivers again. But if you create a backup of your data before the corruption occurs, you will be able to easily restore your operating system without having to install it again.

A program which can help you in this situation is Image for DOS. This application was specially designed for the DOS environment and can help you back up all your hard disk data with ease. Because the program doesn't depend on Windows to run, it will be able to back up all the operating system files, even the ones which are normally used by Windows and cannot be backed up using Windows software.

After installing the application, the user will first need to create a bootable disc for the program to run. This can be done by using the specialized tool that comes with the application. The tool allows customizing the DOS interface of the bootable disc. As such, the video resolution can be customized, together with numerous options regarding the DOS environment.

After the disc is created, the user will only need to restart the system and choose to boot from the CD from BIOS. After booting from the disc, a Windows-like interface will be displayed, which allows the user to select the type of action that should be performed, either backup or restore. If choosing the backup option, the user will be able to quickly start the backup process, just after selecting the hard disk. The backup file can be stored anywhere on the hard disk or USB storage device.

In case the operating system doesn't boot anymore, one will be able to easily restore it, by using the same bootable CD and selecting the backup file.

Pros

It allows you to easily back up your hard disk data from the DOS environment, being able to include the operating system files in the backup. Besides that, the interface is graphical and intuitive.

Cons

The program cannot be run from the Windows environment. Image for DOS allows you to back up all your hard disk data from DOS, using a simple Windows-like interface.
