True Image has a feature called Secure Zone that periodically backs up your hard drive to a hidden partition. I don't know a whole lot about it since I don't use the Secure Zone feature, but my friend uses it on his mom's machine. He put two identical hard drives in it and lets Secure Zone use the 2nd drive as a backup of the first.
