818256 2009-10-09 00:08:00 I use Ghost 2002 on a Win98/DOS7 boot CD to do a weekly cloning backup to a plug in hard drive. It copies sector by sector from one drive to another.

But there are lots of programs for cloning or imaging, many free as per Google:

free disk copy programs (www.google.co.nz)

I'd try Easus Disk Copy. Then there are free copy programs from hard drive manufacturers.

What version of Windows are you using? The backup tool built into Vista & 7 is very good.

You will need to boot from a CD and backup to an external media, or slave the drive and image it.

To backup the system while the OS is running, you will need a program that uses VSC, such as DriveImageXML, Macrium Reflect, Acronis etc.

What exactly do you mean by "system files"?

You meant only the bootloader, or a specific part? Or imaging the system OS?
