Actually, since last February 18th when it all began between the two

Hi Anna,
I am certainly part of that "vast, if not overwhelming
majority" who understands nothing about the difference
between "cloning" and "imaging."

Can you describe that to me?

Sincere thanks,

In a nutshell, how about this synopsis:

Cloning makes a good copy, but not an exact copy, of the original
source partition(s).

Imaging, OR "partition copying", makes an *exact* copy of the original
source partition(s).

==============


Except that your "synopsis" is incorrect - and inadequate in detail.
And imaging is not the same thing as partition copying (if so implied).

I think Bill has learned something about cloning since he posted that.


It seems you haven't, if you believe your synopsis.


The synopsis was YOURS Bill old boy. The material between the dashed
lines is a copy of a post you made on Feb. 18 of last year.


Well, if I wrote that synopsis back then, I was wrong!
