What exactly is a disk "image"?
I've been using the Win 7 disk image for my operating disk backup, and I just have no idea what it is. What is an "image"? How does it achieve the file compression - I assume it's some kind of lossless compression? How is it all written into just a couple files?
I've been doing data back-ups for years, but I'm new to images... can somebody explain?
Thanks,
Brian
