Clonezilla is great. It's got one job and it usually succeeds the first time. My only complaint is the initial learning curve requires tinkering. It's still not at the trust level of fire and forget. Experimenting is recommended as backup is never the same thing as a backup and restore and even Clonezilla will have issues recreating partitions on disks that are very different from their source.

Spot on re: learning curve, it absolutely requires a test run or two before you'll get it right
