Winclone: Backup your Boot Camp partition
Now that many Intel Mac users have a Windows Boot Camp partition on their Macs, backing up or restoring that Boot Camp notes becomes a bit challenging, as most backup utilities only copy the Mac partitions; whether you want to create a bootable copy of your Windows installation it’s even more difficult. That’s where tools such as Winclone, or Mike Bombich’s NetRestore, come in; they allow you to easily assemble a disk image of your Boot Camp partition, which you can next restore to a separate volume, save for archival objectives, etc.
Winclone can additionally be used to quickly deploy a Boot Camp image to a number of machines (e.g. in a lab). Mike reports that he recently used Winclone to successfully reimage the Windows side of 10
Winclone is a free download from twocanoes software, and donations are requested. Macworld’s Mac Gems blog has a thorough walkthrough of backup and restore of Boot Camp using Winclone.
