Backup Windows Recovery Partition
 
I recently bought a new laptop and was wondering what is the best tool to backup my Windows Recovery Partition.

I have used GParted + a huge capacity NTFS USB stick and did a simple cp -rf recovery usb-stick

Is this enough? Has anyone tried this before?

Some files are protected. Use dd tool instead.

You mean:
Code:
dd if=/recovery of=/usb-stick bs=4096 conv=noerror
I just took a look at the DD wikipedia page and holy cow. The thing really knows how to scare you.
