Overview¶
Duplicati is a backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on local storage, cloud storage services and remote file servers. The Duplicati project was inspired by Duplicity and had similar functionality until 2008. In that year the storage model was redesigned completely and the program was rebuilt from scratch. This manual describes Duplicati 2, the version based on the new storage model.
Duplicati can be installed on a variety of operating systems. Most common platforms are Windows, Linux and OSX.
Duplicati is not:
- A file synchronization program.
Duplicati is a block based backup solution. Files are split up in small chunks of data (blocks), which are optionally encrypted and compressed before they are sent to the backup location. In backup location, Duplicati uploads not original files but files that contain blocks of original files and other necessary data that allows Duplicati to restore stored files to its original form by restoration process. This block based backup system allows features like file versioning and deduplication. If you need to be able to access your files directly from the backup location, you will need file synchronization software, not block based backup software like Duplicati. - A hard disk image backup software.
Duplicati can make a backup of selected files and folders. Hard disk imaging software can create an image file of a complete volume or hard disk, including the boot sector. If you want to be able to restore a complete volume or hard disk, including the boot sector and operating system, you need a hard disk imaging solution. - A Backup software for the files that are located in the cloud.
Duplicati can not make a backup of remotely stored files. Duplicati needs to be installed on the host where source files for the backup are located. Optionally files and folders on locations in the local network can be selected for backup by using UNC paths.
Features¶
Duplicati is a free and open source software that has many advanced features that can only be found in high-end enterprise backup solutions. Some of those features are:
- Strong encryption
Duplicati uses strong AES-256 encryption to protect your backups. It is designed following the TNO principle: Trust No One. For instance, all data is encrypted locally before it is transferred to the remote storage system. The password/key to your backup never leaves your computer. Instead of AES-256 you can use a local GPG instance to encrypt your backup. - Incremental backups
Duplicati performs a full backup initially. Afterwards, Duplicati updates the initial backup by adding the changed data only. That means, if only tiny parts of a huge file have changed, only those tiny parts are added to the backup. This saves time and space and the backup size usually grows slowly. - Compression
All backup data is compressed before it is encrypted and uploaded. Duplicati supports Zip/Deflate or 7z/LZMA2 compression. For performance reasons, Duplicati detects files that are compressed already and adds those as they are to the Zip or 7z archives. For example, media files such as mp3, jpeg or mkv files contain very well compressed data already. - Online backup verification
Duplicati is built to work with simple storage systems. Many providers offer compatible storages and often at cheap prices. As a downside of this, some storage systems may store corrupted data. Most people only notice the corruption when they attempt to restore files they have lost and restoring fails. To avoid that Duplicati regularly downloads a random set of backup files, restores their content and checks their integrity. That way you can detect problems with your online storage before you run into trouble. - Deduplication
Duplicati analyzes the content of the files and stores data blocks. Due to that, Duplicati will find duplicate files and similar content and store them only once in the backup. As Duplicati analyzes the content of files it can handle situations very well if files and folders are moved or renamed. As the content does not change, the next backup will be tiny. - Fail-safe design
Duplicati is designed to handle various kinds of issues: Network hiccups, interrupted backups, unavailable or corrupt storage systems. Even if a backup run was interrupted, it can be continued at a later time. Duplicati will then backup everything that was missed in the last backup. And even if remote files get corrupted, Duplicati can try to repair them if local data is still present or restore as much as possible. - Web interface
Duplicati comes with a web interface. It can be used to configure and run backups on your local machine. But it also allows you to configure and run backups remotely on headless machines like a Network Attached Storage (NAS). Just install Duplicati on your NAS and configure and run it through its web interface. - Command Line interface
We did not forget about system admins! Duplicati offers all functions and feature via Duplicati.Commandline.exe. This allows you to add backup features to your scripts or run backups in a terminal window. - Meta data
Duplicati also stores the meta data of files in the backup. When backup files are restored, the timestamps (last modified, created) will also be restored as well as the system's access permissions. To avoid inaccessible files e.g. when the system user's have changed, restoring of access permissions is optional. - Scheduler
The built-in scheduler runs your backups automatically at the times and intervals you define. One backup everyday, at the weekend, every hour or even 3pm every 3rd Monday is possible. And even if a date is missed, Duplicati will run the job as soon as possible. - Auto-updater
Duplicati comes with a built-in updater that downloads and installs the latest available version for you. That way you can easily keep Duplicati up-to-date. - Backup open files
When a file is in use by a process or application, it usually cannot be read by another process, making it impossible to backup that file. On Windows systems, Duplicati can use Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). For Linux based devices Duplicati can use Logical Volume Management (LVM). VSS and LVM offer the possibility to create an application consistent snapshot of a volume, which is used by Duplicati to make a reliable backup of these open files.
License¶
Duplicati is licensed under LGPL and available for Windows and Linux. The software is open source and free to use, even commercially. More information about the LGPL licensing model can be found in License Agreement.
Supported backends¶
Duplicati can make backups to a large number of targets. For local backups, all devices can be used that are attached locally or using a UNC path, like:
- External USB hard disk drive
- USB thumb drive
- Shared folder on another computer in the same network
- Network-attached Storage (NAS)
Backups to these targets using the following standard network protocols are supported:
- FTP
- FTP (Alternative)
- OpenStack Object Storage / Swift
- S3 Compatible
- SFTP (SSH)
- WebDAV
The following Cloud Storage Providers are supported natively by Duplicati:

System requirements¶
Duplicati must be installed on a device with a supported operating system. Currently, these operating systems are supported:
- Windows Vista and higher (both 32 and 64 bit versions)
- Windows Server 2008 and higher (both 32 and 64 bit versions)
- Linux
- Apple Mac OSX
Because many devices run on an operating system based on Linux, Duplicati can be installed on some devices that are not personal computers, like a NAS or Raspberry Pi.
Windows-based devices should have .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher installed. For Linux and OSX, a recent version of Mono is a requirement.
Duplicati can make backups of files that are opened by other processes. For Windows, a snapshot of the file system is created using Volume Shadowcopy Services (VSS), LVM is used on Linux Systems. To be able to create a VSS snapshot, Duplicati needs C++ run-time components for Visual Studio 2015 to be installed and must be run with administrator privileges.
Duplicati is resource-friendly by design. There are no specific requirements for internal memory or processor performance.
Duplicati needs about 40 MB of free harddisk space for installation. However, additional space is required for execution:
- Duplicati creates a small database that contains program settings and all backup configurations.
- For each backup configuration, a local database is created, enabling Duplicati to retrieve information about files at the remote location, without actually upload or download files. This database makes Duplicati a lot faster, because a query is done to the local database instead of downloading remote files.
The size of these local databases varies, depending on the number of source files selected for backup, the total amount of data and the chosen block size. In most situations, a local database consumes 10 MB to a few GB's of local storage capacity. - Duplicati creates temporary files while doing backup or restore operations. The amount of storage needed depends on the chosen upload volume (DBLOCK) size. The default size is 50 MB, but this value can be modified for each backup job. A small number (1 to 5) of temporary DBLOCK files are stored locally before they are uploaded to the backup target. After a successful upload, these temporary files will be deleted automatically.
The backup process explained¶
Traditional backup software makes a full backup at regular intervals (for example once a week). All other backups are incremental. These incremental backups send all new and changed files to the backup target. The drawback is that if a folder needs to be restored from the most recent backup, the latest full backup has to be restored first, followed by all incremental backups that were made after the latest full backup. This is a cumbersome and error-sensitive procedure.
Making a full backup every day results in reliable backups, but is very time consuming and resource-unfriendly. All source data has to be sent to and stored at the backup target every time the backup task is executed.
Duplicati combines the best of both worlds. When a backup is made, only changed parts of files are sent to the destination. From this point of view, Duplicati behaves like it is making an incremental backup. When one or more files (or all files and folders) need to be restored from the most recent backup, this backup (and all other ones) look like a full backup: all data can be restored with a single operation, without replaying a set of incremental backups.
Duplicati 2.0 introduced a new, revolutionary storage format for backups. The storage format is block-based. This means, it does not store the files, but chops all files into tiny blocks. Here is a simple explanation.
Imagine your local files consist of many small bricks in different shapes and colors. Duplicati takes your files, breaks them down into single bricks and stores these bricks in small bags. Whenever a bag is full, it is stored in a huge box (which is your online storage). When something changes, Duplicati puts new bricks into a new bag and puts it into the box. When a local file needs to be restored, Duplicati knows what bricks it needs and in which bags these are. So, it grabs the required bags, takes out the bricks and rebuilds your file. If the file is still on your computer (in a version you do not want anymore), Duplicati can just replace the wrong bricks, thus updating the existing file.
From time to time, Duplicati will notice that there are a few bags that contain bricks it does not need anymore. It grabs those bags, sorts the bricks. It throws away the bricks that are not needed anymore, then it puts the required bricks into new bags and puts them back into the box. Duplicati will also notice if there is a large number of bags that only contain a very small number of bricks. Duplicati grabs all those bags, takes out the bricks, puts them into a small number of new bags and puts these into the box.
And to say the good news again: There is no need to upload full backups regularly. This makes Duplicati a perfect choice for incremental backups of large media libraries.
Greetings!
I would like to know if anyone could explain how to back up a bootcamp partition in 10.7 Lion.
Winclone does not work in the new 10.7.
I see the partition in Disk Utility, but how do I back it up?
If I ever needed to restore it, how would one go about it?
I am not adverse to using a paid app for this task either.
Is there a way to clone the whole drive with both the Mac and Windows partitions in the resulting file?
Thanks all!

Copycatx 5 2 – Complete Volume Duplication Formula
I found a native OS X Lion compatible backup utility: CopyCatX 5 from SubRosaSoft .
From their technical support department:
CopyCatX is Lion compatible.
To copy a bootcamp partition, the whole device has be cloned to avoid any data integrity issues. You will need to use Duplicate (and NOT Backup). Your source is the model of the internal drive. For example, Western Digital ACxxx.., or Fujitsu MHWxxx.., or Seagate ACxxx..
(picture)
For BootCamp device, we suggest New Disk Image as your destination, and store it to an external drive.
To restore the disk image, double click on the disk image itself (on the destination drive), it will then be mounted on the desktop, then click on Duplicate (NOT Restore), select the mounted disk image as the source, and the drive you want to restore the drive to as the destination.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Will Winclone (or any other program) work under Lion to backup a bootcamp Windows partition? I currently use Winclone 2.2 under Mac OS 10.6.8. Also, is there anything else I need to know about my bootcamp partition before updateing to Lion? Thanks!
I would think you could use Winclone to migrate the previous Boot Camp partition to a newly created BC partition on your new drive. You would go through the Boot camp procedure to the point of installing windows then quit Boot Camp installation. You should have a partition ready for the old installation.
Not having done this myself, you need to get in touch with Two Canoes software for expert sdvice.
http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support
Paragon Software has been used successfully for backing up Winclone and they may be able to advise you as to their products capability to do this kind of migration.

You of course will need to have a way to connect the old hard disk with either an adapter or an enclosure.
http://eshop.macsales.com/search/universal+drive+adapterSo I got a new hard drive for my early 2009 version Mac Book Pro and some new memory to speed the little guy up. I was trying to copy the Mac and BOOTCAMP partitions onto the new drive, and I am close, but not home free.
Here's what I have done so far:
I got an external cage thing for the new/old HD.
I put the new HD in the cage and cloned the mac and BOOTCAMP partitions to the new disk while booted from a DVD.
I put the new drive in the machine and the old one in the cage.
I booted the machine and it loaded the mac side fine.
When I tried to use the 'option' key to, select the system I wanted to boot into on the reboot, it didn't show me the windows (bootcamp) option.
That's where I am at. When I go into disk utility it shows my BOOTCAMP partition in the list of logical disks under my disk, but it is grayed out. I can mount it, but when I restart, I can't select it. I feel like I am so, so close. What do I need to do?
(BTW, the old drive, the dude I am trying to clone, still exists in its entirety in the cage; I could put it back in and go from there if I had to.)
Let me know what you all think!

Yesterday expanded my bootcamp partition from 50 up to 100 Gb using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition, a Freeware Windows Program after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeKeawqxUa0
Note that I have OSX Mavericks, Steps are:
1) backup all your files (optional but strongly reccomended).
2) Using OSX Disk Utility resize MacintoshHD partition leaving unallocated space as much as you need to add to bootcamp partition.
3) Set Bootcamp as Boot Disk and restart the mac.
4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Tool Partition and select the bootcamp partition.
5) Choose 'expand' option in order to expand the partition using all the unallocated space.
6) The program prompt to you to restart the mac for apply the task, cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.
7) Restart the mac and then automatically Mini Tool Partition will do the job in a 'graphic msdos like' form.
I was lucky and worked for me, I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini with MAVERICKS and a samsung 250Gb SSD Evo.
Hope this can help the community but decline any responsibility, do it at your own risk, you can use programs like winclone or camptune if you feel more comfortable with a pay app.I am very apprehensive about upgrading to Mountain Lion due to performance concerns and the debacle with the new Auto Save feature which seems like a very poor and confusing solution to a problem that didn't really exist. I am only considering the upgrade, so that I can get the latest version of Xcode - 4.3; for some reason, 4.2 for SL is no longer available and my current 4.0 version is no longer supported, so I feel forced to upgrade to ML. Also, I have a bootcamp partition that I need to be able to use without issues after having upgraded to ML. So the essence of my question is this: what steps do I need to take prior to upgrading to ML to ensure that my Bootcamp partition is left intact and bootable. I have already created a compressed backup disk image and stored on a separate external hard disk for precautionary reasons. Is there anything else I should know beore going ahead with the upgrade?
Thanks.Auto Save is actually a very useful feature. Adobe audition cc 2020 13 0 2. If you are typing a paper in Pages and you haven't saved in a long time, and then your battery dies suddenly, your paper is saved. Before Auto Save, you would have lost all your progress.
Your BootCamp partition will not even be touched during the install of Mountain Lion. As long as you make sure to select your Mac OS partition during setup, nothing will happen to your Windows side and everything will still work fine.I have the following:
Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version. I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
Thus my question. So can I?Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB
I know how to back up programs on PC, but am new to Mac and would like some advice about how to best back up programs on my Macbook Pro (purchased second hand) without disks. Thank you in advance
If you purchased a MacBook Pro secondhand and it came with third-party software on it, note that you do not own that software without disks. It is illegal for you to use that software. If some of that software is useful to you, you should buy copies of it so that you can use it legally, and so that you can reinstall it should the need ever arise. (Note that there is no way to reliably reinstall copy software from a backup in the event of needing to do a clean reinstall. You would need the disks so you could do a clean reinstall of the apps as well.)
Also, note that the very first thing you should do with a secondhand machine is erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch. You don't know what the original owner has done with that machine, and there could be malware on it. You should never trust a system from an unknown party.I decided to change size of my bootcamp (windows partition) by following steps in this thread:
how to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting itit
I ended up with having bigger windows partition (which is what I was trying to achieve), that I was able to boot to, but my Windows disk was no longer seen in OS X. I reviewed the thread above once again and it was pointing to another thread where folks were discussing issue similar to mine:
Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Bottom line - Unfortunately, after performing the suggested action plan, I am no longer able to boot to my windows partition nor to see it from OS X
(I am able to select Windows disk while hitting Alt/Option during the boot, but then I get the message 'A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart')
Please see the diagnostics below and please advise how this could be fixed - at minimum I would like to boot to Windows partition again, maximum - also to access it via OSX as well.

So do you think there are there any chances of fixing it?
Though it is sad that resizing of bootcamp is not supported natively (by Disk Utility?) as it seems a lot of people would like to have this.The hard drive in my MacBook Pro is failing. It has 2 partions, one for Apple and the other is a Bootcamp with Windows 7.
I tried repairing it with Disk Utility, which did not work. I also ran DiskWarrior, which resulted in the error message: 'Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure'. I was able to copy my Apple files through DiskWarrior although there were a couple of errors.
My question is how to clone my Bootcamp Partition. I tried making an image with Disk Utility but it failed. I also tried using Winclone and it failed indicating there were hard drive issues.
Is there another way to try to copy the Bootcamp partition? I can boot to Apple so running a program/app or trying UNIX commands might work.
Thank you in advance.Some previous forum comments I have collected regarding backup of BootCamp.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
Ghost 15 - probably not
Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great and they have CampTune
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
Paragon HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
I tried the native Windows backup utility. It worked to backup and restore my Windows partition, but I noticed a 'bad' side effect. When I would restore a Windows Backup to my HD, it would corrupt my MacOS boot partition, so I would then have to restore the Mac partition as well.
Winclone allows you to migrate your Bootcamp partition from one Mac to another Mac and make sure Windows will boot. However, if the processor (for example, Core Duo or i7) is a different type, the restored version of Windows may not be supported or be able to run on the new Mac. If you are migrating between Macs that are the same type (MacBook Air to MacBook Air, for example), you will have the greatest chance of success. You can try to restore Winclone images between different types of Macs (for example, a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini), but be aware that if Windows boots but does not reach the desktop, it is probably not an issue with Winclone, but rather the change in processor type.Hi.
How i can remove bootcamp partitions?.
I have three partitions: Macintosh, linux swap, and ms partition (is debian really).
I need the disk space for Macintosh partition.
Thanks in advance.
Félix.Start bootcamp and click 'restore start volume'
What is the easiet way to do this without having to wipe the partition clean and reinstall windows?
Thanks12/24/12 Re: Winclone: How to increase the bootcamp partition size without starting over.
I never post but this worked so well for me that I will break down & tell my story. I use bootcamp only to Run Quicken via VM Fusion but I have been fighting a too small partition size for years & constantly getting 'low memory' warnings from Windows. I didn't want to hassle reinstalling windows & quicken plus I didn't have the discs. I discovered Winclone 3.6, $20, gave it a try because of good reviews. It worked great. It made a copy of the bootcamp partition & placed it on my Mac osx, Lion, desktop. (I first had to convert my windows xp from fat 32 to ntfs but that was easy using built in windows commands after a google search on how to do it). I then used the Mac disk utility to delete the old partition & create a bigger partition. Winclone then restored the old bootcamp (windows & quicken) onto the new larger partition. The only issue was that I had to find a wired keyboard to reactivate windows (my wireless mouse worked but not the keyboard initially?). This program saved me a lot of grief. Good luck.Is there a way to re-size my bootcamp parition? I partitioned out 25gb & am thinking that was a bit much for just occ. gaming. I'd like to maybe cut that down to ~ 18gb & recover some of my HDD space.
You could try the command line diskutil:
F.ex
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk1s2 limits
then
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk1s2 20G
Or something like that, not sure if it really works though. I'd be sure to backup any partitions before attempting it. Failing that you can just use diskutil to image your windows partition, then use the bootcamp assistant to restore the osX drive to how it was pre-bootcamp partition and start again.
how-to make disk images w/ Disk Utility http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1897.htmlLate in August 2011 I took delivery of a new 27' iMac with Lion preinstalled. I need to run Windows as well. Following Apple's written suggestion, I printed off the then current 12 pages of the document 'Bootcamp Installation & Setup Guide' which clearly stated that the hard drive you were going to install on had to have on it, before install, a maximum of one partition. Using finder and disk utility I determined that there was only one partition. Unbeknownst to me, there was (is) an additional hidden (from those two pieces of software) partition on the disk. As of machines delivered new with Lion preinstalled, Apple has begun to include a 'recovery partition'. In that partition there is a copy of the software necessary to reinstall Lion via a download from the Apple App Store. Not knowing the partition was there, I cranked up 'Bootcamp Assistant' which nicely offered to repartition my hard drive creating a 'Bootcamp Partition' in addition to the existing. I told it how big to make each and hit the do it button, subsequently destroying my operating system. Oh, it very nicely told me, after the damage was done, how many partitions were REALLY on the disk and that I could not install Bootcamp cause there were too many partitions.
Luckily the the Recovery Partition, which at that point I knew existed, was not harmed and after doing some research on another compter, I used it to once again download Lion from the App Store and reinstall. So, I have recovered but am still stuck with the problem: how do I install Bootcamp in this new environment?First you need to seriously back up your Mac.
A clone is an exact duplicate of your existing Mac HDD. Merely copying and pasting a drive will not make a bootable backup. In case of problems you can boot from an Ext HDD clone and use the utilities to repair, reformat, or clone the Ext HDD back to the internal Mac HDD. While Time machine back ups are easy you can not boot from it. The best thing to have for any kind of problem is a bootable clone backup on an external drive. Some even have two external backup drives in case one fails. There are two good apps for cloning named SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
In dealing with the recovery partition a simple approach is to clone the Mac partition to an external disk then re-partition the Mac to a single partition (GUID partition table) . Then clone the external disk clone back to the Mac. You will now have only one Partition and Boot Camp assistant sould not object.
Some have recommended getting rid of the recovery partition while others have advised not to do this. If you have the Lion USB Thumb Drive you do not need a recovery partition so can discard it without concern. There is another way to get rid of the recovery partition if you decide to do it but first be sure to have a backup of your Mac ( I know I sound like a nagging mom but many dead computers have been saved by this simple precaution).
Use Disk Utility.
1) Make the Recovery visible in Disk Utility by using a program like Secrets:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets or MacPilot:http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php (15 day free trial).
2) Highlite the Recovery partition and Control click it and select Mount the partition.
3) With the Recovery partition highlited, erase the partition, you'll get an error message, ignore it.
4) Now highlite the top identity of the hard drive and select the partition tab.
5) Highlite the Recovery partition and press the minus sign.
6) Click and hold on the bottom edge of the partition above and drag it to the bottom, if it doesn't go there automatically, the press apply.Hello Apple (Mac) Community,
I originally posted this question over on answers.microsoft, but no help was forthcoming. Hope someone can help me with a problem that's (almost) making me nuts! I teach graphics to college students. In brief: I run Windows 7 Pro 64 on a Mac Pro tower, along with Snow Leopard (OSX). Windows is loaded on one partition of a 1TB drive. The other partition is a Mac backup. The Mac OS is on a different drive. Istatistica 4 5 1. Everything was going swimmingly with both OS, until recently. Unfortunately, the drive with Windows showed problems and I determined that the HD was either toast or needed a total reformat. My Mac data was all backed-up. Now I wanted to backup Windows so I can easily get back to the relatively happy point of my Windows 7 experience (drivers loaded, dual monitors all working, etc.). I did some online searching and the recommendation was to create a 'system image' of the existing Windows 7 install by attaching an external drive, formatting that to NTFS and selecting 'backup to image' in Windows. I did that and also took the opportunity to 'create a backup disc' on a DVD. (Windows recommended). Next I rebooted back to Mac OS and completely reformatted the problem 1TB disc to a single partition, zero all data, just to see if it would actually reformat. It all worked! So far, so good. Next I used Bootcamp to create two partitions, one for Windows. I then restarted using the Win7 Pro (64) install disc, reformatted the Bootcamp disk to NTFS (as required) and installed Windows 7. After all that is completed and all working, I next try to use the restore from image function while booted in Windows. I'm instructed to restart from the Win install disc, which I do. Here's where things get difficult. When I try to choose restore from image, at that point the installer asks which drives to I want to exclude.. but does not show partitions, only full HDs. I do not want to reformat the entire 1TB drive. I only want Windows on the 120gb Bootcamp partition (which is already formatted for Windows BTW). I spent a lot of time online reading through articles with users having the same frustration.
So here (at long last) is my question: How can I either restore Windows just to a Bootcamp partition.. using 'Windows System Image' or if that can't be done.. can I somehow import all of the settings, etc. from the 'image' (image is on external HD) into a fresh Win 7 install? So far the 'backup disc' also seems useless. I can't even boot to Windows from it. BTW Apple folks: the only response on the MS side was that some 'expert' simply posted links on how to install Windows and restore.. not helpful with my particular problem of restoring to a partition.
Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully some help that even a Mac user / new Windows user could understand would be better! Thanks!
-meltWinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.

Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.If i use traditional windows back up software for a bootcamp partition can i restore from same? I'm reluctant to upgrade to Lion without knowing my bootcamp windows 7 partition is safe and that it could be restored if necessary. I use Time Machine but was told that the bootcamp partition is not backed up by it.
Any thoughts?Ralph below are reproduced a bunch of Bootcamp cloning comments previously posted on this forum.
I collected these so I would have a ready reference to the topic if needed. I give credit to and thank all the individuals who made these comments even though I do not have specific names recorded.
If Acronis 2011 w/ Plus Pak would work; Casper 6 does seem to work; Windows 7 has its own built in system image + backup + Windows Easy Transfer - but doesn't work with AppleHFS/MNT (that HFS read-only which confuses Windows 7 backup).
WinClone was handy for XP users but doesn't for instance check for errors during the backup only during restore (was how I found I had two bad sectors though).
Known? as I said it has been around and results using are mixed (everyone is different).
'Some' Windows clones? multi license etc? there are better tools for deploying Windows.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously, and they had complaints and issues with Windows 7 - on PC hardware. Check their forum
Casper 6 - known to work
Paragaon - they looked like their 'Boot Camp Support' might, and they have CampTune; NTFS for OS X; and other products but backup/restore?
Ghost 15 - probably not, and they didn't like my comment so lost my userid there.
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup so have to rename AppleHFS and AppleMNT to use. Also, MacDRive8 probably better if you need read and/or write ability to HFS.
People have used Linux CD (which is what Acronis and others use) on Mac and to update firmware etc on drives and graphic cards.
Obviously you want to test and have good backups.
If you are willing to reinstall, then all you need is Windows Easy Transfer (hidden folders like AppData need to be Custom/Advanced included) before and after; and all your updates etc. Then reinstall programs.
Ah, I don't see how backup of Windows that can't be restored is of any value or use! the whole purpose for backups is to restore files, OS, partitions, etc.
Yes, Windows 7 SP1 may be more sensitive but people clone Windows all the time.
I Use and recommend Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great on Mac Pro doing Windows to clone to/from SSD or any other drive. They have separate programs for Boot Camp too
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
