I have been running Clonezilla for years from an USB stick which I set 
up using "Method B: manual", which basically consist of two steps:
- unzipping the zip-version to a stick with an empty fat32 filesystem
- running the "makeboot" script from inside the stick.

Clonezilla is really easy to use and very reliable (as a test, I 
restored a complete Win 7 installation), but for me there are two glitches:

1. It seems impossible or at least difficult to restore singles files 
from an image.

2. It is rather clumpsy to restore a backup to a drive which is not the 
original one.
