How to copy hard drive 1-to-1?
I'm trying to back-up our office DVR system that came with some very expensive software (and the warranty on it has already expired.)
So I bought identical hard drives (to the ones installed -- 3 total) so now I need to make one-to-one copies from the originals. My idea was to hook each drive pair (original and backup drives) to my other Windows 7 desktop and do the copy, but what software shall I use?
(Again, all I need is just a 1-to-1 copy because the source and destination drives are identical.)
Thanks in advance!

Is that the same as cctv?
No idea what you want to back up - is it just data, or is there some kind of operating system?
If there is an operating system , you will need to either clone it -o&o DiskImage software suggested does the job, but iirc that freeone does sector by sector, not necessary and slow.
I use AOMEI Partition Assistant disk/partition copy - intelligent sector copy, very fast: www.disk-partition.com/.../disk-copy.html
If there is an operating system - it will boot straight up after aomei copy.
I don't know if that is on the free aomei Backup and Recovery version - it might be.
