I cloned this one, but believe it will creat an image also. Software is just a copy of Acronis 10.0 but needs to see the Seagate drive to work, it claims. If you have or plan on a new drive the software is downloadable from the web site http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?loca...000dd04090aRCRD Think it works also with Maxtor drives
