@cybmole - I do recall reading a number of -ve reports about free Easus a few years ago. EaseUS Partition Master happened to come up first when I googled 'image copy partition'. I know a number of people who 'swear by' Easus Partitioning products - although in Win 7/8 I don't know what they do that they couldn't do Windows.
My experience with Windows backup is contrary to yours, for me it doesn't work and it has never worked.
What I neglected to say previously is that I have Macrium Reflect to image partitions. The pay-4-me version can also do incremental and differential image backups - so no long waits. I've never had any problems with using Macrium to do a recovery. I know a few people who use its Free version and on a couple of occasions I've used its backup media to build an as-was system partition on a new drive.
