Macrium Reflect looks decent but I'm still open to suggestions. I need to buckup everything on a laptop before the harddrive goes out.

If you are feeling moderately ambitious with the command line and have windows 10, you can just use the built in DISM tool to capture whole images of the OS partition and or entire physical drives. Just google: DISM /capture-image or /capture-ffu.
Doesn't have the fancy GUI and you need to know your way around the windows scheduler to automate it if you want to do it frequently, but it is reasonably fast and contributes zero bloat because it is an already included core component that is vital to windows update among other things.

Thanks for the suggestion. Think I'm going to hit up YouTube on this one since I never tried this method.
