By far, Partition Commander (PC) from www.v-com.com. I recently went through
several storage upgrades, including RAIDs. I found Partition Commander the
easiest to use--resize, move, copy, etc. You might also want to get some
tools from www.runtime.org. I didn't plan on the latter :), but I was able
to recover many files when an MBR became invalid or the partition wasn't
correctly recognized when copying from some old disks to new or different
types of disks.

Subject: looking for disk copy/clone software
I'm looking for a piece of software to do a bit-for-bit copy from one disk
to another. I don't want "backup" software that compresses using the
vendor's proprietary algorithm so that you need to use the software to
"restore". I have two things I want to do:
1) My C drive is filling up. I want to copy it to a larger drive and swap
them out.
2) I want to make periodic copies of my C drive to drives in removable
drawers for backup. If the C drive in the pc takes a dump, I want to just
pull the most recent backup out of it's drawer and swap it into the pc.
Obviously neither of the above will work if the copy/clone is compressed
with some weird algorithm. I bought Drive Image, but it appears to only make
the kind of backup I don't want. I would assume the software I need would
have to run in DOS off a bootable floppy. So far, everything I've looked at
seems to run in Windows.
