We used to use a program called Acronis for creating image backups of an entire hard driver on a daily/weekly basis that could be used for restoring a crashed machine.I don't think Acronis works with Windows 7 now. What is the best application out there for creating such backups? Does the backup system that is part of Windows 7 work well?

support for Microsoft Windows 7

With Acronis True Image Home 2010, rest assured that all your important data including images, music, documents and applications are well protected

You could also use the dd tool to create images of whole partitions.
