Windows can't read EXT, there are some apps to do it but are very limited and I need to do a full backup including the OSes (Windows 7 and Linux Mint) on the disk so it can be run from VirtualBox or re-written back to the HDD if necessary.
Last update destroyed my secondary Linux install so I'm running on Windows now, but could make a third Linux install if necessary/only way to complete the task.
Any ideas? thanks

You can boot with a Live CD/USB, access the disk where your archives are located and store them in another drive. I reccomend you to use Ubuntu live media for this, because you can access the drives without need to mount them via command-line.

I frequently use Clonezilla Live on a USB stick for stuff just like you describe.
It's light and easy to use, and I don't know of anything good enough in windows to get that same job done. You can image the disk, or the partitions separately.

1Single-line answers should be avoided. Can you add more details? Instructions, download link, etc? Explain why it would help – Canadian Luke – 2014-03-13T19:18:21.500

In this case you can use Clonezilla, and use it as described here
