Handy Backup Professional provides some options highly required for experts and advanced users.
System Backup and Recovery
The Professional edition can save an image of any drive as a VHD file. Users can restore this image later (including the possibility of creating a bootable device), or attach this VHD file as a virtual drive and browse its content, or even run it as a complete image of a VirtualBox machine.

"I have a Pro version on each of my team workstations. It is a perfect tool, as it allows me saving both project workflows and whole system images. I also have a Pro copy on my management console, with MySQL and Exchange plug-ins to keep our office data and website copies intact. It is a very good price-to-efficiency bargain!"
