Backup BC Windows partition

WinClone; and if you have Business, Ultimate Vista, it has built in Backup.

You can use Disk Utility to create an image of your Bootcamp partition.

Hi Ewen,

Disk Utility can read from NTFS drives, but can not write to it.
And since Vista exclusively uses NTFS for its system drive, you would be stucked at restore.

WinClone is the better alternative or use NetRestore http://www.bombich.com/software/docs/netrestore/English/index.html

I've used this to make NTFS images

Using DU you can create an image of Vista volume. With Mac OSX using a file system driver that supports Win NTFS read/write (e.g. Paragon/Macfuse) will allow you to write the files from image.

True enough.

I just wanted to point out, that DU alone is not sufficient enough.

In Vista Ultumate, Start->Programs->Maintenance->Backup and Restore Center will create full disk Bkup. I've used it against C:\Vista U. 32 & D:\Vista U. 64 writing to usb external disk. Restore is done from Vista install / update DVD which reinstalls both OS's in about 40 minutes.
