Hey Hank, You will need 2 separate programs to do this, as far as I'm aware, but a cloner might be able to access your bootcamp partition as well. I don't use bootcamp. Can you see your windows partition from within finder? Command shift c takes you into a list of volumes accessible from finder. If so, then a cloner like super duper, which has a free demo, and carbon copy cloner, will be able to back that up as well. If you can not see your bootcamp partition from within finder, then you will have to back that up from within windows itself.
For windows, a very handy tool is called snapshot. It's at www.drivesnapshot.de. It's a tiny, no nonsense utility, that makes an image of your windows partition, and writes that out to a dot s n a file. After the image has been created, you can do with the file what you want, i.e. move it over to a usb stick etc. Snapshot is a demo, but it's not free, though very accessible and worth having. One thing I'm wondering about myself, is how you would restore any backup, back into bootcamp. How would you boot into an operating system, from which you can then run the restore utility? I don't know Hank, but maybe someone else can chime in on this. As far as your macintosh hd is concerned, you can always use super duper, which makes a bootable backup, so that you can always boot off of the backup, and then restore your entire macintosh hd partition back to your internal drive from there.
