Acronis True Image has Clone Disk and Rescue Media Builder options. Acronis True Image is capable of making copies and backups of drives whilst using those drives. Eg My System disk is copied as a backup a few times a day, without me having to do anything special.

EG AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard(Free) has "Make Bootable media" and "Migrate OS to SSD" wizards. Other free apps do the same sort of thing.

They usually have an option to make a rescue media drive(DVD or USB stick), so that you can try to recover a partition if you lose access to the system drive. Good idea to have one in case something goes amiss.
