I don't know any free imaging software, and I don't trust them

I use DriveImage or V2i for making a perfect image of my HD.

another program:
You can use Second Copy2000 to automattically copy (chaged/added/delted) files to another location everytime(you can select a time or at startup). It detects automatically if some files have been changed/added/deleted and will copy them. (not freeware)

Symantec Ghost is usually bundled free with new motherboards.

I used HD Clone for one cloning process. The personal edition is free, but only works if you are moving to a larger hard disk (which seems likely). Also, Seagate drives come with a nice set of tools that will copy your C partition from your old drive to a new drive (as long as one of them is a Seagate drive). I am not sure about the other parititions if you have any. It may only do the C drive, but that's typically the key since the registry is where the software keys are usually hidden. The other partitions you can pretty much mount and copy manually. (Is xxcopy still around?)
