Cloning a bootable HDD on-line - which software?
Hi,
I am looking for some back-up software (ideally feeware) to make an exact copy of an SBS HDD, I need to do this while the SBS is on-line - The output (USB Dock) drive needs to be bootable if required.
I used to use some software called CasperXP in years gone by which did the trick great for 2000/XP although I did have one instance where it somehow trashed the original drive so I'm a bit sceptical to use it in this instance.
Any takers?

Would I be right in thinking that to create my 'bootable' image I need to use the Raw function? - the tutorial doesn't really give much away and advises against using that facility...
