Can anyone recommend any backup software for windows that you know works with boot camp.
I want to backup my boot camp drive to an external drive. It would be nice if it was somewhat easy to use.

Something that works like Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper would be the best.

Thanks,

Why does it need to be Windows software? You can read the partition from the Mac side...

You should be able to produce an image of the Windows partition using Disk Utility from OS X. Or in Windows just use the Backup tool (under All Programs|Accessories|System Tools).

The windows backup tool is useless from my experience. You can make a backup but you cant restore from the backup. At least this is my experience.

I haven't tried the Disk Utility app. Do you have experience doing this?
