Thanks

A special thanks to Roberto for creating gztool. It allows the gz files in the Clonezilla archive to be read randomly, which gz doesn't natively support.

Thanks to the Dokan team. Dokan is what is used to create the virtual drive.

Thanks to Igor for 7-Zip. His versatile tool inspects the contents of the image files, which can be in many formats (eg. NTFS, FAT, etc.)

Thanks to Steven for Clonezilla, the backup tool used by millions.
