I have a 2011 MBA. I'm using Carbon Copy Clone to back up the Lion side to an external drive. I recently added Win 7 via boot camp. Now I'm wondering about the best way to back up the Win 7 partition.
When I use CCC, I now have an option to clone the Boot Camp partition. Can I save it to the same external drive where I'm saving OS X data or will it wipe out the OS X portion? If I choose to simply use Win 7's "backup and restore" program (which I do with my PCs) can I use the same external drive that I'm using to save the CCC data?
Any problems I might face if I need to restore either OS X or Win 7 from an external drive that has both saved on it? If only Win 7 crashes and needs to be restored, is it easier to do from CCC or from Win 7 backup & restore?
Thanks!
