Totally capable of cloning drives with multiple OS's and is bootable. I'm using this to have a bootable backup hard drive along with another drive for back up and recovery. Another good software program I found in a thread here is Vista Boot Pro.
It can edit the BCDedit.exe to change or delete leadins for which OS the Windows Boot Manager detects,how they are labeled and backup the file. It also has its own boot manager which I havn't messed around with yet.
Use these for a bullet proof system of backup!!!
