Hi All,
I have a Dell XP desktop running software that is critical but not available anymore. I can purchase the same Western Digital drive as in the Dell system along with as external USB cabinet. What I would like to do is to make an exact clone of the working disk which I can put away so in the event of anything happening, I can simply swap drives and be good to go. I don't need incremental backups just a single clone at a point in time. I see plenty of backup software that create disk images but this is also not quite the same as above. I am also concerned about being able to clone a drive in the way i want while the operating system is running. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
