Backing up dual-boot system - how?

[Victek]

If you're dual-booting Vista and XP I'd be interested to know if you have an
effective image strategy. Does it work to use something like Paragon Drive
Copy to make an image and then restore without breaking the dual-boot
arrangement? TIA

I'm not familiar with Paragon, but the concept is right. I use Acronis for
image backup of both the XP and Vista drives at once.

When you image the drive you select 'all' operating systems, i.e., XP and
Vista and the imaging software will image both operating systems.

Paragon drive copy should be able to do the job for you. My main contender
for imaging now is Acronis True Image and i haven't had any problem
re-imaging a dual boot system back.
