Iomega&#8217;s new v.Clone software is the result, and it sounds pretty great. Basically it backs up your C: drive into a bootable, standalone app-wrapped VMWare image, which can run off of a compatible Iomega drive (new eGo and Prestige lines, for starters) on any other Windows computer.

We&#8217;re guessing there will be some performance implications to the setup, and it&#8217;ll take some using to know just how practical this might be, but it presents an intriguing opportunity for people to untether from their increasingly bulky, store everything desklaptops if it works &#8212; and their friends don&#8217;t mind them jacking in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/iomega-v-clone-turns-your-whole-computer-into-a-portable-bootab\/\">Iomega v.Clone turns your whole computer into a portable, bootable VMWare image<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:25:00 EST.
