[H] backup image

[Winterlight]

What is the collective using for backup imaging software these days? 
I started out with Disk Image but when Norton/Symantec bought them 
and screwed them up with their usual Nortification procedure (how 
many great apps has Norton ruined) I switched to Acronis. I liked 
Acronis back in version 4 through 8 and then of course it went down 
the yearly update road to where now I don't like it very much at all. 
Why can't developers see the advantage of keeping things clean and 
simple and stop trying to be all things to all people.

So I am looking for something new, clean, and simple. Any recommendations?
