Hi Everyone:

Question concerning backing up an iMac with Boot Camp installed.

I am looking for a utility that can make a backup image of the entire Hard Drive including all partitions (HSF, NTFS, FAT32, etc.) at one time.

I am familiar and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Mac (HSF) volumes. However, CCC will not backup non HSF partitions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ah, the obvious. :D

Based on your tip I just realized that I needed to boot from an external HD to make a backup image of the iMac internal HD. I had tried when booting from the internal HD and it repeatedly gave me an error.

See what happens when one is working at 0300 in the morning! :eek:

Anyhow, trying to make a backup image now. Will advise how it works and restores in a day or so.

Thanks again!
 
Update. Disk Utility doesn't work.

Just backed up the whole HD.

Then tried a restore. Get the following error:

Restore Failure
Could not open connection to helper tool

Also, I could not aim towards the HD, only to the default partition that results from erasing the HD.

Any suggestions?
