===Backup strategy=== {{See also-text|[[System image]]|[[Backup and Restore]] (for Windows Vista and later)}} A disk image contains all files and data (i.e., [[file attribute]]s and the [[file fragmentation]] state). For this reason, it is also used for backing up [[optical media]] ([[CD]]s and [[DVD]]s, etc.), and allows the exact and efficient recovery after [[Sandbox (software development)|experimenting]] with modifications to a system or [[virtual machine]]. Typically, disk imaging can be used to quickly restore an entire system to an operational state after a disaster.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fast, Scalable Disk Imaging with Frisbee |url=https://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/papers/frisbee-usenix03/frisbee-www.html |access-date=2023-01-12 |website=www.cs.utah.edu}}</ref>
