Backup and recovery of a raw (journal only) partition

Thread needs solution

Would the only way to back up a raw partition be to do so sector by sector? If not, please let me know the correct way to backup and recover a raw partition.

Thank you.

If product does not support file system on the volume, then volume will be automatically backed up using "sector-by-sector" mode.

You will need to turn on sector-by-sector only if you want to back up unallocated space on the disk. This can be needed in case when notebooks manufacturers put on the unallocated space their own recovery partition without creating partition itself (thus partition cannot be seen by disk tools because it does not exists).
