TIPS & TRICKS: Imaging Bootcamp Partition on a Mac

I haven't used this tool yet. But, it definitely came from a good recommendation source. OS X is already easy to clone and restore using various tools. The Bootcamp partition has not been quite as easy. Hopefully, this tool makes cloning as easy as the OS X side.
