Hello,
I'm considering installing bootcamp on my 24" iMac.

For backup at the moment I'm using Superduper but is there any backup software that will backup OSX and Bootcamp as a direct clone of the original hard drive?

If not then what is the easiest way of backing up both partitions and restoring especially the bootcamp.

Thanks for any advice given.

Glyn.

From what I understand the boot camp partition cannot simply be "cloned" and copied to another drive like the OS X partition can. Probably has something to do with the efi/bios and boot camp. Anyone else know otherwise?
