I back up my HD twice a week. Boot partition only.
I back it up to a completely separate hard drive.

I use Drive Image 5.1 which probably you could get at a bargain bin now for elcheapo money. The company sold out to Symantec and they bucked the price to $70.00.

Backup takes 15 min and restore takes about 17. Restore completely reformats the hard drive and puts back on what you had when you backed it up. This ain't no system restore cuz if your mistakes smokes your operating system, how is restore going to work ?
