With version 1.50 I made the usbit32.dll multi-threaded, making it is possible to backup or restore multiple flash drives at the same time. Because I rewrote some major parts of the GUI app and the usbit32.dll, I decided to release a beta version first. If you can test the new version, your help would be […]
Version 1.42 can create MD5 checksums of image files during the backup process. This feature can be activated on the “Options” tab. Next version will probably be 1.50. With this, I want to make the core I/O functions thread-safe, so you can work on multiple USB device at the same time. This would also allow […]
This version fixes the “Error reading settings!” message, that appeared at the start of the 1.40 version. It can be downloaded from the dowwnload page on the right menu bar.
This version fixes a bug, that caused the window to close, when using the dialog window style.
The new version comes with completely replaced compression routines, that additionally provide gzip support (intended for large images). Also the device mode doesn’t require unplugging and resetting the device anymore. Major parts of the I/O code have been redesigned to be prepared for future development. You can find the new version on the download page. […]

I get a lot of referers to my page from asian websites (Korean and Vietnamese especially), so I consider this important. Additionally I was […]
I’m currently working on version 1.40 of USB Image Tool. I have removed the faulty XZip routines and already implemented an new gzip compatible compression based on zlib. For compatibility reasons I will also implement an extraction for the old zip based imz files (minizip). It’s also included in the zlib package and contributed by […]
Version 1.31 includes bugfixes for the user interface and compression routines. The zip compression routines, used by USB Image Tool (XZip based on Info-ZIP/zlib 1.1.3), may lead to corrupted images. When creating a compressed backup, USB Image Tool now checks the compressed image to ensure it is not corrupted. I’m assuming it has to be […]
The new version introduces the device mode, which is intended for bootable devices and USB devices, formatted with a file system unknown to windows. If you want to clone a pendrive Linux, you have to use the device mode to make the new USB device bootable. Also a small error in the command line utility […]
