About SelfImage
---------------

SelfImage is the little hard drive utility with big aspirations.

In its current incarnation, SelfImage is capable of making an image of a hard
disk partition and writing it to another - useful for making backups.  Unlike
dd for Windows (or cygwin), SelfImage is capable of creating an image of a
partition that is currently in use.

Additionally, when run on Windows 2000 or XP, SelfImage can create images of
partitions that Windows doesn't have mounted on a drive letter.  Perfect for
the dual-boot system, you can create an image backup of a Linux partition
directly from Windows.

As of version 0.2, SelfImage is capable of writing an image file back to a
partition, though with some significant limitations.  First of all, this is
only possible in Windows 2000 or later.  Secondly you can only write to
partitions that either aren't mounted, or which can be locked for writing.
Windows can't lock a partition that has open files, so this means that you
cannot restore to, for example, your boot partition.  This must still be done
outside Windows (with Linux, for example).

SelfImage can also copy one partition to another, or even one file to another
(though it would have to be a very large file to bother running SelfImage to
copy it).
