    Smile Backing up an entire HDD

    Hi everyone,

    It looks like that my 250GB is failing as I have to manually disconnect it then connect it again before the motherboard can recognise it.

    The HDD has Windows 7 along with Ubuntu.

    I would like to clone the entire HDD into another 1TB HDD of mine.

    Is there any program which can do that?

    Thanks.

    I use clonezilla weekly as I love to play.

    Another command line alternative is gddrescue. Have a look at this web site
