If you need / want to backup your Windows XP /Vista bootcamp partition you should take a look at the application WinClone.

Just to clear the most important point: thats a mac application =) and its 10.5 only which makes sense cause of the beta status of bootcamp in 10.4

Feature-List:

• Requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) New
• Clone either FAT32 or NTFS partitions New
• Mount images in the Finder New
• Fixes boot issues automatically New
• New preference window to fine tune your cloning New
• Source partition is not changed when cloning (except for removal of pagefile.sys) New
• Clone Windows XP or Windows Vista with ease.
• Clone to your Bootcamp partition either on a separate drive or on the same that contains your Mac OS X partition.
• Creates image documents that can be stored on any media and double-clicked to open in WinClone.
• Verbose logging so you know what is going on
• Built on the open source ntfstools, which are included in Winclone, so you don’t have to install anything else.
• Fast: Restore a 10 GB image in less than 10 minutes.
• Create a Bootcamp partition from within Winclone.
• Do it all from the boot drive: You don’t need to boot from a Firewire drive to clone the Windows partition.
• Clean and uncomplicated interface

Nice comparison about vulnerability on Mac VS Windows in 2007 ….there

The article comes with a nice chart….and it really looks horrible for all those Mac’tards….

Quote:

The year 2007 has been an interesting year that brought us improved security with Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). But to get some perspective of how many publicly known holes found in these two operating systems, Iâ ‚¬ „¢ve compiled all the security flaws in Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista and placed them side by side. This is significant because it shows a trend that can give us a good estimate for how many flaws we can expect to find in the coming months. The more monthly flaws there are in the historical trend, the more likely it is that someone will find a hole to exploit in the future. For example back in April of this year, hackers took over a fully patched Macbook and won $10,000 plus the Macbook they hacked.

Edit: as WES correctly mentioned in his comment you really should read the full article and ask yourself how serious it is
