On the DriveImage XML page they write

Images are stored in XML files, allowing you to process them with 3rd party tools. Never again be stuck with a useless backup!

I can't help but imagine something like

<partition num="1">
    <sector num="1">
        <byte>0</byte>
        <byte>0</byte>
        <byte>0</byte>
        ...
    </sector num="1">
    ...
...

This doesn't look too efficient, so I wonder what they do. I see no data format description there.
