    I'm really happy with Superduper. It will clone your system

    Do you zip or rar your files before archiving?
    I do, it saves a lot of memory space.

    Here some hints:

    Your best off having spare hard drive usb.Don't matter if you have PC or mac,Thats what I do anyway,Clone yer mac drive or just store your library's and software,then if something does go wrong you've got piece of mind.

    Something wrong with your link Quakeaudio. Didn't that app come out 3 years ago? Looks like the developer + links are dead now.

    Saved my ass numerous times. Awesome product.

    I now have 1 drive with 2 partitions. Weekly clone to partition 1 and daily backup to a disk images for other stuuf on partition 2.

    Great for testing products. I can boot to my clone OS. Install the software. Evaluate.
    If good then install on the main OS. If not, boot as normal and no harm done.
