RecImg Manager is a new way for users to restore and reinstall their entire Windows 8 Operating System and software in minutes without losing personal documents or files. RecImg Manager will work on any Intel-based device running Windows 8, including tablets such as Microsoft’s new Surface tablet debuting later this year.

Why System Restore?

Malware, system errors and other malfunctions can make it necessary for users to restore, or “refresh” their PC’s operating system. In the past, traditional PC backup and recovery tools have simply taken a snapshot of the PC's entire disk. Unfortunately, this resulted in the loss of any personal documents created or altered since the snapshot was taken, and required a significant amount of space to facilitate storing personal documents.

By contrast, RecImg Manager creates a backup snapshot of just the Windows 8 operating system and installed software. During recovery, RecImg Manager reinstalls only Windows 8 and its components, which means documents, videos, music and other personal files remain untouched and intact – nothing is lost.

And, because RecImg Manager reinstalls just Windows and software, the recovery process takes a matter of minutes, instead of hours or days, as can be the case when installing the entire OS, software and transferring all of your documents onto the drive.

In this way, RecImg Manager turns what would otherwise be a weekend-long task -- identifying the cause of a system error, reinstalling Windows, reinstalling software, transferring all of your personal documents -- into an easy, automated process lasting a few minutes.
