What is ODIN?
This title is an acronym for "Open Disk Imager in a Nutshell". Its main purpose is to back up information within an existing hard drive by creating a duplicate "image". This is useful in the event that you are concerned about a system crash or if you have sensitive data that requires an extra level of redundancy.
Is ODIN free for me to download?
While this is a very powerful software package, you will be happy to learn that there are no fees associated with a standard download. This is also a wise alternative if you do not wish to pay for similar third-party backup applications.

The developers of this bundle perform regular upgrades to address common issues such as bugs and potential security issues. Additionally, Softonic checks all software for viruses before making it available to our clients.
How much memory will ODIN require?
You will need to possess a minimum of 369.20 kilobytes of free hard drive space in order to install this program. Thanks to such a small size, it is not likely that you will experience any performance issues.
Can ODIN send my files to an external storage system?
While you are able to transfer an image of a hard drive to another computer, this bundle also provides you with the option to store this information onto a CD or a DVD.
