Depending on your hardware Acronis may work. I have machines that Acronis recovery will not work on.

Paragon Drive back Up Personal $49 + change will work and will also set up a local recovery partition that is one key. One warning about Paragon, the dos based .iso image does not work on all machines and is slow compared to the Linux based recovery disk you can DL from Paragon. The down side is that the Linux based recovery disk cannot be installed on the local machine - you have to use an external recovery boot CD. If you have no experience with Linux, have no fear because it is a GUI you work with.

Paragon also does some nice things like allowing you to non destructively resize partitions when restoring and allows you to change SUID's so that you can restore to a different box without a reinstall (bare metal restore to a different box).

Norton goback will do it wont it?
Just one touch of the space bar during boot up and you can go back where you like.
