I've always preferred Acronis TrueImage myself, but if what you describe is correct, that would be a handy way to keep emergency backups.  Have you ever considered partitioning your drive to separate the OS and programs from the rest of the data so as to keep your images smaller?

Not sure if you knew or not, but VHD files can be mounted as normal drives with Disk Management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc).  Handy way to pull data from an existing image if you need it.
interesting.

is it possible for me to partition my drive into like 3 partitions and have vista, xp, and 7 (each one on a different partition)?
