Winclone 2.0.9

Easily backup and restore a bootable Windows partition on Mac OS X
Winclone will help you to easily clone and later restore your bootcamp partition.

Winclone will make your job a breeze if you are in charge of setting up a bunch of machines with both Mac OS X and Bootcamp.

Simply create an image as your would for a backup, and Winclone will create the Windows partition and restore the OS and data onto the new partition.

Deploy images with ARD: Using the included script and the image created with Winclone, you can easily send a new winclone image to a group of Intel Macs, imaging the entire lab in minutes.

FAT Support
When restoring a FAT32 bootcamp partition, you must restore on to a partition that is the same size or larger as the original partition. If you restore it onto a partition that is larger, the partition will shrink to match the size of the original partition, and you will not be able to expand it. If you want the ability to increase the size of your Windows partition, convert it to NTFS. Winclone will then expand the image on restore to take up all the space on the partition.

NTFS changes
In version 1.x of Winclone, you had the option to "Prepare for restoring on a different partition". This caused much confusion, and the functionality in version 2.0 still exists, but is handled differently. If you want to move your bootcamp partition to a smaller partition, simply shrink the filesystem on the original bootcamp partition first by selecting the Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) filesystem.
