With Partition Commander (PM) I can copy one drive to another. Both drives
have to be connected to the same computer. This is imaging a disk. I can
also copy a logical drive to another disk. This is imaging a logical drive
or a partition. PM isn't intended to copy only a folder or files. There are
many tools that'll sync files. You can use external or removal disks if you
wish. PM doesn't care as long as they're locally connected, including
(hardware) RAID implementations.
I have PM burned to a CD. I can go to a failed PC, pop it in, connect
another disk to the cable, and providing the old disk will spin, image it to
a new disk in minutes. I've done this a quite a few times, both for failures
and upgrades.

PowerQuest (now Symantec) has DriveImage for disk content
copying/backup and PartitionMagic for partitions' management. But is
PartitionCommander supposed to do both? Looks like, in addition to
partitioning, it can also "copy" drives - could this be considered
equivalent to disk imaging? Could you elaborate, please?
TIA,
Ivo Karindi
PS I have been a fan of PowerQuest for a few years but need to upgrade
and the prices that Symantec is now asking seem just a bit too drastic.
