Clonezilla will do what you want but you'll need a CD to boot from to restore. If you want, ypoiu can run clonezilla to another HDD and have a swappable restore.

That's what I'm doing now. I want to go back to what I did in the past for the total cloned drive I can just plug in and out.
I've gotten 3 serious viruses in the past 3 or 4 years. Now 3 isn't bad but where I got them is rediculous.
1) Irish sayings site on St Patricks Day
2) Leagal eagle web page looking for a New Jersey lawyer
3) Java update.
There was a time when you could avoid viruses pretty much by just staying away from porn sites. Not anymore. Its obvious you can't avoid all the crap out there now so I want to be able to just swap in a clean OSD and just repetition (Fdisk) and format the infected drive then clone it back to life.
I'll post whatever I decide on as its a good strategy (having a cloned backup) others may want to follow.
