Accessible image backup and restore program?

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Jason:
There is not an accessible windows boot cd as far as I'm aware. What you 
could do though is just dd your partitions and pipe t hat through to 
bzip2. It's moderately slow, but you could store it on a nas/passport 
drive/etc and be set.
