Image for Windows is a disk imaging backup software program for Microsoft Windows developed by TeraByte Unlimited, and when first released in 2002, was one of two disk imaging software products that could create a consistent point-in-time backup of Windows while Windows was running.
The point-in-time technology used by Image for Windows consists of using a special driver, named PHYLock, that effectively redirects data being overwritten by Windows to a holding cache. Since Microsoft's introduction of the Volume Shadow Copy Service, this technology concept is now generally available to any Windows based backup software.
Image for Windows, also known as, IFW, supports Windows NT 4.0 through Windows Server 2008 and supports both x32 and x64 versions of Windows.
