Part 2. What is ISO

An ISO file or ISO-9660 file is the standard format used for DVD or CD images. You will find many versions of the ISO formatted files, but the extension is the only true difference in most cases.

A disk image can preserve all data from disk and this includes the bootable code or various other attributes that can get lost during copy and paste tasks. This image is actually a duplicate of the physical disc that is stored as .ISO file that you can burn to a disk to get the exact clone of the original disk. In addition to that, you are able to mount it unto a virtual drive in order to access it like an actual disk.

The disc images could also be used on computers for back-up purposes as well as to facilitate easy access to files without having to search all the time when you need to burn something from a DVD or CD.

It is important to point out that other formats besides the ISO can be used for your disk images. ISO files are very useful for you to keep backups of DVDs and CDs as well as for storing contents from DVDs or CDs on hard drives or downloading and uploading them online.
