Does any body know of a backup/copy utility that would perform
an faithfull image of hard-disk so that the image copy can be restored
to other blank hard-disks on which only partitioning (FDISK) and
FORMAT has been performed? 

Main concerns with regards to the procedure:
 (1) Will Hidden/System/RO files copied and restored to the identical place
 as they were on the original disk?

 (2) Will the boot sector be included in this image copy?

 (3) What are the relevant OS/2 systems files Hidden/System that may cause
problems? and are they location dependant.?

Some background:
	The original Hard-disk would have OS/2 1.1 installed and DOS 4.00
and a dual-boot mechanism active, plus etc...

 The procedure for copying or restoring can accomplished in either DOS
or OS/2 I don't care.  The plan is to use an optical disk for holding
the image copy.  Booting from DOS 4.0 with Adaptec drivers and
attempting using FastBack Plus did not prove successfull.
