[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1031931"] I sucessfully made a backup image of a HDD to a NAS some months ago. I used some open source software (clonezilla) booting off a CD-ROM, then copying the entire partition to an NFS-mounted drive. I could then swap HDDs in the machine, and restore. The tool also supported USB HDDs etc. - It was just very convenient to use the NAS as it had mucho storage. If you want, I can check tonight if I can find the tool and the instructions. BUT, it is a linux image with gnu tools. If you don't want Linux, there are other (commercial) tools; but most require registration, payments, installation on host disk etc to work. The Gnu thing is invisible to the source HDD. I like that. [/QUOTE]
