Backing up a dual boot Mac to an external USB drive

To back up a dual boot Mac (Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista/7) and then place the resulted image to an external USB

drive, please do the following:

1. Start up the computer from our Linux/DOS recovery media.

Recovery Media Builder can help you prepare the Linux/DOS or WinPE recovery

environment either on a CD/DVD disc or a thumb drive.

To automatically boot from the recovery media please make sure the on-board BIOS is set

up to boot from CD/USB first.

2. Connect an external USB drive to the computer.

3. Restart the computer. It will be automatically started up into the Linux recovery environment (Normal Mode),

since it’s the only mode that provides support for Mac computers.

4. In the Linux launch menu select Partition Manager.

5. Launch the Backup Wizard by selecting in the Main Menu of the program: Wizards > Backup Wizard.
