To be honest, I've been using Windows 7 built-in backup. Works fine.
If you were willing to settle for re installing applications, and just backing up documents, media, and the like (which is a better long term solution, as long as you can reinstall software, but more time consuming), you could use Microsoft SyncToy to set up automatic folder backups.
Hmm, there's got to be a linix LiveCD if you really wanna just back up the partition...
A HA!
Clonezilla
This is the quintessential geek tool, but it's free. Wanna learn a bit of linux?
Edit, a couple of articles on this:
