USB Image Tool 1.62

Version 1.62 fixes a small bug, that occured, after Restore has finished successfully. When list view focus was lost during the restore process, the application exited with an exception.

    Thanks. Really nice.
    Is there a way to include the Volume name in the file name?
    (output of “vol”)
    TIA

    @Heinz: I will implement it with the next version.

    Hello Alex,

    thank you very much for this very useful tool. I love it, use it for backup my several USB-Sticks and SD-Cards. One question, is it possible to integrate a compression mechanism?

    Thanks again for this tool, it’s really great!

    @DieterR: That’s already possible. Just select another file type in the file dialog. There is imz (zip) and gzip compression available.

    hi, everything is fine ; is it possible to use iso image instead of img files ?
    thanks

  13. Alex Says:
    July 3rd, 2013 at 8:35 pm

    @frantz:

    ISO files (images from CD/DVD) use a different file system (f.e. ISO9660, UDF) than image files for flash drives (f.e. FAT, FAT32)and usually can’t be used for flash drives. You can write them on a flash drive, but it won’t have the results, you probably expect. USB Image Tool doesn’t do any file system conversion, so most likely you won’t see the content of the ISO, when you write it on a flash drive.
    There exist special ISO files with a hybrid bootloader (usually Linux LiveCDs), that can be used on a flash drive and a CD/DVD, but unless stated otherwise, ISO files won’t work on a flash drive.

    Hello, can add a key recovery all disk function?

  15. Alex Says:
    July 13th, 2013 at 7:24 pm

    @zhuzhu: I don’t quite understand the question.

  16. zhuzhu5241 Says:

    That means adding a radio or multiple choice or the select all button, because reducing mirror each only one.

  17. Alex Says:
    July 19th, 2013 at 8:59 am

    @zhuzhu: I’m currently working on a version, that will allow you to write one image to multiple devices in one step.

    Would be nice if the MD5 file would follow the UNIX standard, so the MD5 check can be executed by doubleclicking in Total Commander.

    Google: “07.12.04 Fixed: Changed MD5 checksum format to Unix standard: MD5 checksum, one space, an asterisk “*” indicating binary check, then the file name”

    I am attempting to create a bootable Linux image from an img.gz file.
    The green completion bar say Restoring Image (618%) and increasing.
    Is this normal ?

  23. Alex Says:
    August 14th, 2013 at 7:03 pm

    @tom: What is the size of the uncompressed image file? What version of USB Image Tool are you using? Percentages > 100 can only result in some miscalculation of file sizes.

  24. tom Says:
    August 15th, 2013 at 1:17 am

    Cockpit error – after some time the function completed. I was confused when it went past 100%.

  25. tom Says:
    August 15th, 2013 at 1:19 am

    @alex: 12.83GB and 1.62.

  26. Alex Says:
    August 15th, 2013 at 5:50 am

    @tom: That is the explanation. Gzip stores the original file size in a 32 bit field. This field can only hild upto 4GByte (which at the time of gzip creation was utopical). Because of that, the percentage calculation becomes wrong.

    Does this work with USB Internet Sticks (3G,4G)..??
    In other words: Can I backup firmware of Internet Stick and restore it, if needed..??
    Thank You.

  28. Alex Says:
    September 3rd, 2013 at 4:44 pm

    @HUHAX696X: No, the Tool does only backup tha mass storage part. The firmware is not accessible this way.

    Unable to restore an image to the same stick it came from. Message “The image file is too large”. is there a sulution?

  31. Alex Says:
    September 3rd, 2013 at 4:47 pm

    @Ruud: make sure, you make the restore in device mode. Please check file size and device size.

    I’ve found 2 minor bugs in UsbImage 1.62.

    When backing up an 8GB flash drive and using gzip format, although the backup restores correctly, UsbImage does not realise that it has reached the end of the restore operation, and goes on processing way beyond 100%. I suspect this might go on indefinitely. I killed it off at 140%. This does not happen with zip format or uncompressed images.

    When a zip-compressed image is created, the .ima file inside the .imz is dated one month later than it should be. This is also true of the .ima file if subsequently unzipped.

    All my backups have been in device mode.

  33. Alex Says:
    September 8th, 2013 at 8:29 am

    @Rackbrane: Gzip file format has only a 32bit integer to store the original files size. For larger files the size isn’t correct. For that reason USB Image Tool can’t show the correct progress percentage. The issue with the incorrect month is under investigation. Thanks for giving feedback.

    alles OK.

    I try to create a bootable Linux USB from an image which is proven to work. After restore I get the Error message “Could not write to the USB device (Code: 0)! Please close all open explorer windows for this device”

    However, no explorer Window is opened…. using Win7 .

    Any idea what is wrong here?

  36. Alex Says:

    @Gerd: This happens for some users, but I still haven’t find out the reason for that problem. You can use the workaround described here: http://www.alexpage.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=260

  43. Alex Says:

    @Sayed: You can restore to any USB drive, other devices are intentionally not enabled for security reasons. I don’t want users to accidently overwrite their hard drives.

    Merci pour cet outil qui facilite la vie pour des personnes qui comme moi sont passionnées d’informatique. USB Image Tool est un bon logiciel qui dépanne bien.
    Un bon week end à vous et encore Merci.
