Free isn't going to happen likely - at least not completely. You can see
what's here and there is one free option available but doesn't do well with
partitions at the last build I tried. In fact it didn't do a single
partition at all now that I think about it. It's all or nothing - meaning I
had to backup the entire drive to another drive.

Acronis TrueImage is pretty cheap. That's been my favorite as of late.
