How to backup an entire hard drive with multiple OS installed?
Dear all,
I want to backup an entire hard-drive with multiple partitions with multiple OS installed. Corrently there are a Service partition(FAT32), a Window Vista (2 ntfs partitions) and a Linux (an ext3 and a swap partition) on the hard drive. The boot selector is GRUB.
My question is: which tool can do the backup / restore job for such an entire hard drive without losing any partiton infomation? (Acronis True Image Home 2009 doesn't work for 256k I-node)
Thanks for any help.
