I've used Macrium Reflect with good results. The free version does full partition images, the paid version allows incrementals. In both cases, the images are browsable to extract individual files from within the interface. It uses a "snapshot" type method where it uses a copy of system files that are in use at the time, if that makes sense. (The paid version may also do backups outside of Windows but I'm not sure.) It will allow you to create a bootcd to use if you need to restore an image.
It is also capable of doing either standard images (where only files are copied) or forensic images that make an exact partition copy.
