Disk copying software

alfonzo · 09-10-2008, 09:58 PM

I am looking for disc copying software and am being told that they need to have be identical in order for it to work, eg same amount of partitions etc.

Could someone explain\send me to a site that will help me understand disk copying a little more.

Thanks in advance

I work as a tech and the senior tech has informed me about it, so it has to be true or at least has been in the past.

Im sorry I meant the disk in a Hard Drive copying software.

I need to copy the Hard Drive for our only printing press in case it goes down, so we have a backup of the Hard Drive

You would need to image the drives. A straight 1:1 copy...right? A program will do it:

That is a trusted review website. As you can see, Acronis, is the the top dog. chose one
