The FOG Project (named after Free and Open-source Ghost), is a suite of software tools for deploying disk images of Microsoft Windows and Linux using the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). It makes use of TFTP , the Apache webserver and iPXE .
Clonezilla is an open-source suite of disk cloning, disk imaging and system deployment utilities. [3] [4] [5] Clonezilla Server Edition uses multicast technologies to deploy a single image file to a group of computers on a local area network. [5] Clonezilla was designed by Steven Shiau and developed by the NCHC Free Software Labs in Taiwan. [6 ...
GHOST could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. GHOST allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive. 3.1 uses 286 with XMS and could still run on OS/2.

Before Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, DISM had incorporated the majority of ImageX functions but not all; ImageX was still needed for image capture and applying. [10] However, DISM deprecated ImageX in Windows 8. [14] Windows 8.1 added ability to apply and capture disk images, and Windows 10 extended image applying, by adding compression.
qcow is a file format for disk image files used by QEMU, a hosted virtual machine monitor. [1] It stands for "QEMU Copy On Write" and uses a disk storage optimization strategy that delays allocation of storage until it is actually needed.
A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
Some virtual machine infrastructure can directly import and export a boot image for direct installation to "bare metal", i.e. a disk. This is the standard technique for OEMs to install identical copies of an operating system on many identical machines: The boot image is created as a virtual machine and then exported, or created on one disk and then copied via a boot image control ...
