No, generally not because of lack of LFN support and paths
that are too deep under DOS. You can do it that way using
a Win PE (or Bart PE) boot CD or by using xxcopy and ERUNT
however the easiest way is to use xxclone
http://www.xxclone.com/

Although still in Beta, xxclone does pretty much what you
want but makes the D drive bootable. After cloning from C
to D, if you need to restore, you boot to D then xxclone
from D to C.
