Symantec System Recovery for WIndow 7 installed on Mac with BootCamp

I have installed WIndow 7 via Boot Camp on a Mac runing OS X Lion.

Does "Symantec System Recovery" (SSR) works for backup and recover an Windwows 7 image knowing that the disk partitions are managed by BootCamp ?

Was anywone able to test if the recovery of an image works with SSR ?

Thanks for your answer.

    Currently, SSR is not supported  on Macintosh hardware, even if a boot manager like BootCamp is being use to switch between two different partitions. Here is a link of the Software Compatibility List (SCL) http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157280

    Supported doesn't nessarly means it can get it to work. Overcoming Mac's uEFI/EFI as well and you might get it to work. Your support though would be limited to the forums. I would suggest using the IDEAS option here on Symantec Connect to suggest in getting SSR ported to the Mac OS.

    Thanks
