Unfortunately it doesn't say whether it backs up only used sectors.
Since it ignores the file system on the partition, I assume it

Which makes it hard to back up a large partition (even with

I'd say Partimage is still better. But any imager is better than none
if you need one - especially if you need one to backup a partition
with another OS's file system.
