A bit to late to say this, but yes you would want a bootable backup, not just one with your important files. This is because you would need something to boot from to repair your hard drive if something goes wrong. Of course, I think you could repair it from the install disk, but my HD was read-only when I tried that so I had to repair it from my backup boot drive.

Agreee with Artov, been there, done BootCamp for windows dev. work. Much better to use Fusion or Parallels. Otherwise you'll be rebooting your Mac all day, or... god forbid... staying with a PC booted. Which will just leave you with a pretty PC. Try the demo of it, and have it run your Bootcamp partition. Give it about 1/2 of the RAM you have physically in the machine - and then tweak it from there. To me, the bootcamp partition was too slow in Parallels, I moved it to an external firewire drive.

All my partitions are Mac now.
