HI Eric,
One solution to back up your windows partition from bootcamp, is to use a
windows imaging utility like drive snapshot. www.drivesnapshot.de. You can
download the 150 kilobyte program. It can run in windows so that you can backup
your windows partition, even while it is being used, and you can also run it
from dos, though you won't need it on a mac. The newest version of snapshot.exe
can let you choose what to restore, the next time windows is run. This lets you
start snapshot from windows, select to which image to restore back, then it
reboots. Snapshot restores your image and your backed up windows is there
again. I have years of experience with snapshot, but I'm still struggling with
windows under bootcamp, so I can't warn you for issues you might run into. But
at least, snapshot.exe will run for 30 days, so maybe give it a shot.
Hth,
Paul.
