It is an exact copy of the source device that includes the files and structure of the original storage medium. Disk images can be useful in many ways, such as: \u0441reating system backups, data recovery, burning CDs and DVDs, software distribution or <a href=\"\/help\/forensic\/\">computer forensic investigations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Disk images can be made in a variety of formats. Two of the more popular formats are the DMG and ISO disk image formats. The ISO format is more favored by the Windows operating system. Mac users will usually find themselves interacting with DMG disk image files.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"disk_image_formats_101_dmg_vs_iso_vs_bincue\"><\/span><b>Disk Image Formats 101 (DMG vs ISO vs BIN\/CUE)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>DMG<\/b> \u2013 Apple\u2019s disk image format for macOS. It can be compressed and\/or encrypted and usually contains APFS or HFS+ file systems. macOS opens these natively (Disk Utility, Finder, and hdiutil). Apple also provides a built\u2011in image verification workflow.<\/li>\n<li><b>ISO<\/b> \u2013 A sector\u2011by\u2011sector copy of an optical disc (CD\/DVD\/BD). Often contains ISO\u20119660\/Joliet or UDF file systems for broad compatibility. Windows and macOS can mount or inspect ISO files without extra tools. Microsoft documents ISO\/Joliet\/UDF support in IMAPI.<\/li>\n<li><b>BIN\/CUE<\/b> \u2013 A raw image (BIN) paired with a cue sheet (CUE) that describes track layout (useful for older mixed\u2011mode CDs, games, or audio discs).

A disk image is often used to download software on the Internet. Mac users have probably downloaded many DMG files that are mounted as virtual drives on your desktop. When used in this manner they are a reminder of a time when floppy disks ruled the software distribution world. They are a streamlined way to distribute code and even complete operating systems can be downloaded in disk image format.<\/li>\n<li><b>System Backups<\/b>. Creating a byte-by-byte backup of your system ensures that you can perfectly recreate the system if the need arises. It is a more resilient way to backup your system than the more commonly used logical backup. Using disk images along with logical backups will provide you with a robust backup scheme to protect your valuable data.\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\">\n&#x26a0;&#xfe0f;  A disk image is the most precise copy of the original disk that you can create. It removes the logical layers of backup software and file systems to concentrate on the physical bytes resident on the storage device.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Data Recovery<\/b>. The presence of a disk image can be instrumental in your ability to perform a successful data recovery on a damaged or corrupted storage device. If you think there is even a remote chance that your hard drive is experiencing problems you should make a byte-by-byte disk image to protect yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recovery_scenarios_using_disk_images\"><\/span><b>Recovery Scenarios Using Disk Images<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways that a disk image can be used to extract or recover data that was previously on another storage device. Let\u2019s take a closer look at a few of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Extracting Data From an Old ISO Disk Image<\/b>. Disk Drill employs powerful scanning technology to locate and recover data from a standard ISO image. In cases where the Finder cannot read your data or Disk Utility reports the image as unformatted, Disk Drill employs its own \u201cAllocate Existing File System Data\u201d method in an attempt to complete the restore.\n<div class=\"alert alert-light\" role=\"alert\">A byte-to-byte backup saved to an ISO disk image can be scavenged for deleted data by all of Disk Drill\u2019s resources. The tool can mount the disk image and use its sophisticated scanning and data recovery algorithms to extract your files to a new location.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Data Recovery on a Failing Storage Device<\/b>.There are often overt or subtle signs that your hard drive is experiencing problems. In some cases, the act of scanning your drive to recover data may be more than it can physically handle. You risk a totally inoperative drive by attempting a direct data recovery.\n<div class=\"alert alert-light\" role=\"alert\">A better solution is to use Disk Drill to create a <a href=\"\/help\/dmg-iso-backup.html\">disk image<\/a> from which to attempt your data recovery. Rather than subject the storage device to the stress that will ensue with the scanning necessary to recover your data, creating a disk image will entail only one more disk access across the device. This is highly preferable and is the recommended method when recovering files from a damaged or failing drive or partition.<\/p>\n<p>Disk Drill will use the recently created DMG file and perform its scanning and recovery magic on it. Once your data is successfully recovered you should probably start making plans to replace the failing drive. If you choose to continue to use it, a good practice would be to make regular disk image backups for added data protection.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"best_practices_to_prevent_future_image_failures\"><\/span><b>Best Practices to Prevent Future Image Failures<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Store checksums (SHA\u2011256) with every image.<\/li>\n<li>Keep two copies (primary + offline\/off\u2011site) to avoid bit\u2011rot and accidental edits.<\/li>\n<li>Use read\u2011only mounts by default for investigation.<\/li>\n<li>Label your images with the source device, date, interface, and tool used.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid editing DMGs\/ISOs\/BINs in place; use a shadow\/overlay file or extract \u2192 modify \u2192 recreate instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"final_words\"><\/span><b>Final Words<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hopefully, we have demonstrated the benefits that you can achieve by creating disk images on your Mac system.
