Clonezilla questions

I have windows 7 64 bit on an intel g2 ssd. I don't use raid or anything else. All I want to do is make an image of my C drive to another drive in case I ever need to restore my hard drive from the back up image. Nothing complicated. Would clonezilla work for that?

Do I have to use the live cd to make an image? Or can I make it inside windows? I know to restore he image I'd have to use the live cd.
 
win 7 can do this itself and works very well, will also give you the choice to make a bootable recovery disk which you should have anyway, programs > maintenance > backup and restore > Create a complete backup and restore image.
 
I didn't know if windows 7 made a full complete image or just did like system restore in vista which was useless. So it makes a complete image?
 
Windows Imaging component was introduced in Vista and does work dam well, as so it was carried over into Win 7, i do prefer to store onto an internal drive, but will also store to external and ultimate will store over network. it would be best to dedicate a drive just for imaging too and leave it connected to the same port with the same address, ex: [ D,E,F,G:]

I'm not sure if Windows 7's imaging tool can create a bootable rescue disk, but I know Clonezilla can. Pop a disk in, select the drive to clone to, and you're good. Everything else is done for you.
