bit for bit copy?

Alex,
First I want to say this is a great tool and I have been using it quite often over the last few years. A question comes to mind though as I am currently enrolled in a Forensics class and learning all about very expensive software for creating a bit for bit copy of an drive. I searched previous posts and I seen that you have mentioned in the past 1:1 copies, when this terminology is being used is that synonymous for bit for bit? My initial guess is yes because the file size fits the drive and why such if it is not retaining all information including slack and files outside of the allocation table but your confirmation would mean close the question.
Could you please confirm one way or the other?
Thanks in advance,
- Stephen
