For backing up entire hard drives, optical discs or other logical disks, creating a disk image is one of the most secure, most efficient and most reliable methods. A disk image is an exact, sector-by-sector replica of a drive, CD, DVD or other type of media. Disk images are contained within a single file, which can be compressed and stored on a hard drive, USB drive or CD or DVD. Depending on the settings you choose, disk images can be saved with the file extension.img,.cdr,.dmg,.iso and others., our disk cloning utility, uses a commercial proprietary format with the.arc extension.
Disk images can be used to completely restore a system after a crash, system failure or virus attack. Disk images are also useful for or computers with the exact same settings. Rather than configuring each and every computer one by one, you can set up one system with the desired settings, create an image from the computer's system disk and then deploy it to the other computers. Disk image are also a useful alternative to mailing physical CDs or DVDs, allowing developers to distribute installation disks via the Internet. While most programs treat disk images as source material for system restores or backups, you don't have to restore an entire disk image at a time.
While most programs treat disk images as source material for system. It easy to create disk images, duplicate systems from a disk image and access files from.
R-Drive Image, for example, allows you to mount a.arc file as a virtual disk and copy files from it one at time without going through a lengthy. For example, let's say that you deployed identical system to an entire IT department using a master disk image. Then, let's say six months down the road, one of your workstations suffers a system crash that damages some vital printer drivers. Everything else about the system is working fine, except for those printer drivers. You could restore the entire system from the original master disk image.
Or, you could connect the disk image as a virtual disk and pull only those printer drivers that you needed. Performing the latter task only takes a fraction of the time. In essence, R-Drive Image lets you treat disk images just like you would a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM disc. You can mount it as a read-only drive that can be accessed by Windows Explorer or any other file exploration tool-except you don't have the inconvenience of burning a disc or cloning the data to a removable storage device. See R-Drive Image help for details: In summary, disk images allow you to create exact replicas of system disks and other drives or media. These disk images can be restored, thereby duplicating the original system as it was at the time you created the disk image.
Alternately, you can mount the disk image as a read-only virtual disk and access the files one-by-one. Both techniques are invaluable tools for data recovery, systems administration and technical support teams.
R-Drive Image makes it easy to create disk images, duplicate systems from a disk image and access files from within a disk image.
To change installer package, do the following:. Mount the Customization wizard DMG file. Copy 'Acrobat Customization wizard DC.app' from this mounted DMG volume to a writable folder, say on Desktop. (Running the wizard requires a writable area, so do not run it from a DMG disk image.
Copy it to a folder and run it from there.). Run the application called Acrobat Customization wizard DC.app. In the Locate Installer text field, provide the path to the Acrobat DC installer package (.pkg file). Do the necessary customization you require (for example, Accepting EULA on user's behalf).
Note: Serial Number field present there is optional. A save dialog appears. Provide the name of final customized installer package with.pkg extension and save it to a folder on your machine. Next you can deploy this final output package on the users' machines. 3.1.2 Installation through GUI mode on a user's machine In this method, you can simply copy the 'Acrobat DC' installer folder you extracted from the downloaded exe (and optionally customized) to a user's machine and run Setup.exe to start the installation.
3.1.3 Installation through standard deployment methods You can also follow usual deployment practices for Acrobat as mentioned in Acrobat ETK –. The following example shows Acrobat Deployment through SCCM: Run the downloaded exe to extract the installer in 'Acrobat DC' folder. By default, files are extracted to your desktop. Once extraction is completed, do not proceed with install yet. You will have the extracted installer files, which you will use to deploy Acrobat using SCCM.

Follow the usual processes for creating a package for deployment in SCCM Configuration manager. Give the path of Setup.exe in the Create Program wizard in SCCM (see below).
