The particular file that I downloaded was winima85.zip.



OK, I downloaded and tried your Win32DiskImager.exe program, and it can also create a backup image of the CM7 SD card. Win32DiskImager.exe is quite a bit simpler program than WinImage, but both can read and write backup images containing multiple partitions. WinImage has a nice feature that alows you to browse through the backup image that you create, and it can even browse through a backup image created by Win32DiskImager.exe.


So, it looks like you could use either one to create and restore a backup image of a CM7 installation that you like.

I will be offline for a few days starting soon, so I hope you have the info that you need to make your own backup image.
Thanks Dave I got the impression from your post that I first replied to that you needed to use both Diskimage and Winimage, I see now what you were referring to was a diskimage within the winimage program.
