Weekly Utilities Update: Little Snitch, WhatSize, FileXaminer, more...

Staff Pick: Winclone

When you perform major modifications to your system, such as OS updates, we recommend you clone or otherwise make a full and restorable copy of your OS X installation. For bootcamp users, this recommendation is also true for your windows partition. In addition to system updates, many people find that they would like to resize their bootcamp partitions without having to set thigns up again.

Winclone is an application that will clone your bootcamp partition to an image file, which you can store anywhere you like while you update, resize, or otherwise manage your Windows partiton. This applicaiton is now at version 2.0.10, and can be downloaded from the developer's website.
