Hi,

a few days ago I needed to make a byte by byte clone to an image file of a disk since I did not have an empty spare disk around to clone it to.

I wanted to use DP, which I bought in 2007 just to have it around but never really used it.

But then I noticed it doesn't have that function (yet?).

So here is my request: Please include byte bybyte cloning the drive to an image file in your next release Smiley.

Thanks,

Fig

Yes, that thought has passed us by as well, but there are several technical reasons for which this would not be practical and/or feasable.  However, iRecover can do what you ask, so...

The disk in question had bad blocks, so therefore I would have preferred to do it with DP, since I thought that the bad blocks handling is better in DP than in iRestore.

But anyway Workbench did the job (but then I was slightly disappointed, that I could not mount the truncated image Sad  ... well -- there is no perfection in the material world ... Smiley )

Regards,

Fig
