What about a pair of the USB to IDE/SATA etc external drive controllers and Achronis - at least that is what I think that is what I used unless I did use Ghost.
I use Achronis at home for creating Disk images of my Astro Fit-PCs - I can save that to a USB stick and always have a complete backup of my last system
Only takes up as much space as the actual data - so not actually a true sector/sector disk image. But like you - its just for backup purposes
I bought a pair of them and used my Laptop - less than $20 each on eBay to recover a failed Windows drive out of an old work PC - the data was safe but I was hoping to save myself a days work reinstalling software
I actually only used one in the end - cloned the unbootable drive to a disk image file on my Laptop and then restored that to the new HDD
It was ultimately just a really simple FAT problem - but I couldnt afford to accidentally wreck the drive before I started playing
