We used to use a program called Acronis for creating image backups of an entire hard driver on a daily/weekly basis that could be used for restoring a crashed machine.I don't think Acronis works with Windows 7 now. What is the best application out there for creating such backups? Does the backup system that is part of Windows 7 work well?

DriveXML should work for what you want:

You could also use the dd tool to create images of whole partitions.

Could I make a friendly amendment to this question and ask for the best <i>free</i> application? – kajaco – 2010-02-24T15:45:32.530
