Hi,

I have:
- Macbook Pro 2010
- 512GB Apple SSD
- OSX and Bootcamp with Windows 7

My final goal is:
- to resize the partitions using Tunecamp (Paragon)

I did my homework and found:
- Some cases of data corruption when using Tunecamp

I need the most reliable method of duplicating and restoring the current SSD.
I don't need image files, but an exact copy of the whole disk that is guaranteed restorable. I spent a few hours researching Carbon Copy Cloner, CopyCatX, Paragon XXX, Casper, Winclone, Clonezilla etc.
I think CopyCatX and maybe Clonezilla come closes to what I need. But I have a feeling that a hardware disk duplicator will always be more reliable because there are less variables in the equation. I found for example Integral-Storage Hard Drive Copy Station.

Is there anybody who is does this on a regular basis?
If so, what's your preferred method?

Patrick
