Like Acronis? Check out Macrium Reflect

[4]

Absolutely free! No strings! The only free XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible disk imaging software with BartPE and Linux based recovery options.

• Create a disk image whilst running Windows using Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS).
• Image to Network, USB, FireWire drives and DVD.
• Built in scheduler.
• 32 bit and native 64 bit versions.
• Industry leading compression levels and speed.
• Linux based Rescue CD with Network access and full GUI. Only 6.5MB in size!
• Built in CD/DVD packet writing engine. Supports packet writing to DVD DL media with Windows Vista.
• HTML log files.

I personally liked:

• User interface (similar to Acronis)
• Ability to show simple/advanced options
• Attach/Mount and browse previous image backup
• Ability to backup across network, USB and/or local HDDs
• Restore options include advanced features incl restoring MBR (or default MBR)
• Integrity check after backup and/or restore
• Windows PE and Linux RescueCD

Check out the screenshots of my successful eval of the software.
