I've used Acronis, Winhex and I hear that Clone ZIlla works.

I have not tried it yet, but I presume dd (

will work just fine and its free.

Not all image programs will work and also some versions of software are more troublesome than others such as the BCM 50 at release 3.0. Some tools need the sector by sector option ticked.

Thanks firebird found that out the hard way trying to clone the muli image drive with osf clone software

I've had the best luck with Macrium Reflect. It's fast and has no problem with the multi image drive that all the other file system type disk cloners seemed to stumble on for me. I've done the multi image and an image of every BCM50 version with it. It's Windows based and has a free home version for download. Of course sector by sector based ones like linux dd work well but are so SLOOOOOOW. 5-10 minutes compared to 3 hrs.
