Imagining Software Advice.

kai · 17 Jul 2009 at 12:36

I would like some advice on software I can use to image an exact copy of a shuttle pc hard drive, basically it holds crucial software/data of a RIP for printers. The hard drive itself is partitioned into two drives, and would ideally like to capture both partitions. So I need the recommended software to be fairly secure as I repeat I can’t afford to lose the data. Free would be preferable

Acronis would be a good bet:

It's not free, but you can't be picky if the data is as critical as you say

*edit* beaten to it

If you can shut the PC down then I highly recommend Clonezilla. If you need to do it while in Windows then either Macrium Reflect or Paragon Drive Backup will do the job just fine, they won't verify the image though.
