Best free disk imaging tool?

[glObalist]

What (if anything) do you use to make backup images of your hard disks? I'm trying to steer clear of anything Norton (Ghost) so that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for your input!

I use acronis true image. It's not free, but it's an excellent program. Pretty much the best disk imaging program I've found...

Yeah this one is the best.....at least that I've found.

Acronis here as well. Worth it's money to the last cent.

I will put in another vote for Acronis. It has already saved me from data loss twice, well worth the small investment.

So there's an interesting question now:

Is there a free disk imaging tool at all?

Another alternative if you like command-line tools is to use chdman (http://www.mameworld.net/gurudumps/tutorials/dumping_cds_&_hdds/index.html), the same utility used for MAME. :)
