    I've used Clonezilla for this purpose many times. Not hard to do but do read up on it a bit. A quick search will give you where ti get it from and how to run.

    Edit: I'm not sure what you mean by 'very very low profile'

    Is it pretty easy to use?

    My only concern was on a previous Windows install I downloaded a program that did what I wanted it to.... but constantly ran in the background. It was a really stupid application. That's what I meant by low profile.

    I see. Then yes, I believe filezilla would be useful.

    My setup was to run it from a live cd/usb and clone the entire system drive or partition. Basically nothing gets installed or executed from your windows.

    Macrium Reflect Installation/Usage Guide

    You can create the Macrium Reflect Rescue Disk after you've installed it, then uninstall it and simply boot off the USB Flash disk to create or restore images. That's what I do because I don't want any background services pertaining to that program running in the background.
