I prefer dcfldd for complete partitions because
it does not change the partition UUID. You
can also copy the partition to a file
eg: foo.img

In my case, it's all very simple. I'm using
"rsync -avxHSAX --delete /source/ /target" after having done an
integrity check.

Yes, at least I do.
When data is compressed, a single bit flip can render te whole archive
useless. So therefore I just copy the whole thing. It's easy, reliable
and fast.

Definitely a journaling filesystem like ntfs, ext3 or ext4.
If windows should also have access to it you're gonna have to use ntfs,
otherwise ext4 is the way to go.
Check it also for bad sectors w/ `badblocks`, better to be safe than
sorry.
