Yes, but not reliably, IMNSHO. There's a built in Desktop Archive
factility. There are numerous freeware and commercial Desktop
backup/restore tools all of which work better, IME.

That's odd. If you are zipping an image when the boot partition is not
active, you should get an exact image. Warts and all. What version of
zip are you using to do the save and restore? Under what OS? Since your
boot partition is FAT, you do need to unzip to a clear partition so that
"WP DATA. SF" gets built correctly.

That's odd. I've not heard that complaint before.
