I use Clonezilla for Hard Drive imaging...  It will create a bare metal
backup of your machine...  Just put the image back, and your machine is
exactly as it was the day you took the image.

See:
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php

To download it.  It is free, and Linux based...  It iwll back up ANY
system, Apple, Windows, Linux.  It runs on an x86 platform.
