I use True Image by Acronis ... much better than Ghost (and I used to be a devout Ghost user) and doesn't take up near the resources.

As for backing up ... I back up my system disk and my registry and that's about it since everything else resides in partitions that aren't targeted by hackers.  I do have a current backup of my external runtimes but I only do that once a month and then it's only a differential backup.
