I've given this topic a search but i have failed to find up to date recommendations on a solid tool for making images of drives prior to doing any risky work. I hope this will give me a solid edge over the competition by claiming that their data is safe with me.
I'd hate to make a clone that took ages to complete (creating a backlog) or once created was useless. I suppose it would also have to cope with failing drives and also be compatible with everything.
I'm also one of those people who prefer a GUI for ease of use
Any recommendations? I suppose a bootcd would be the best way to go about it - imaging to a usb drive. Once an image has been made, if going onto a new hard drive, it would be much better to clone an image onto the new drive rather than thrashing a failing drive repeatedly (if the clone fails) so I think making an image is win-win
