Pre-review discussion of Backup Software
Jibz:
Here are a couple (courtesy og google):
R-Drive Image 2.0
Active@ Disk Image (DOS)
NTI DriveBackup! 4.0
EZ-Imager
Double Image-O 5.0
Partimage (linux)
DrvImagerXP v2.2 (free)
dantz Retrospect 7 (with DR add-on)
DriveStar 2.39
I know some of them do not meet your requirements, but I thought I'd list those I found :up:.

seems the great infopackets has recently been writing some articles on backup and todays review was for acronis true image.

seems kind of pointless for us to do something 95% identical..
randiroo76073:
mouser, this being such an important kingpin to backup maybe a little more thought and research should be given over to it, something no one mentioned was prgm compatibility, it has to cover 95-XP, Linux, Mac, & should interchangably be able to format disk/hdd too. I'm not familiar enough w/ prgms mentioned to know if they do, or if any does, but it does set the bar a little higher
JMHO

Perhaps a comparative review would be good. Is Acronis really the best? Or is it because they have established their name earlier?
I remember now why I didn't like Acronis. It wasn't the drive backup, it was the boot menu component, I think of the partitiion manager, that locked my system up.

Maybe instead of awarding best drive imaging tool this week i will devote this saturday's entry to a guide to backing up your computer, and present a set of concrete policies for backing up..
