Description
This software is designed to do theses following things :
• Create a device image :
A device image is a file which contains all the datas of a device. This software can create a raw image file of a device (HD, CD, Jaz, Zip with bfs, dos
partitions...).
For example, if you create an image of a BFS partition, you can burnt it on a CD.
• Create a virtual image :
A virtual image is a file the user can mount, use and unmount like a hard drive partition.
The main idea with this virtual image is to store files in it and burn the image with another software (for backup purposes...).
Misc
• Some CD Record softwares are now available or currently in developpement. Here is a small list :
- There is a port of cdrecord which is available at : http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html.
- Marcus Overhagen is currently writing CdManager. See : http://www.overhagen.de/beos/CdManager.html
- Lars Hoss and Marcus A. Hofmann are writing a software called AcidBurn. See : http://www.labs.itux.de/acidburn/
• For people who think : "why this software ? There is the dd command to do that !"
I reply : "Ok, it's the same thing but I prefer a frontend GUI because I'm not a Terminal-Maniac." :-)
