Two thumbs up for acronis trueimage. It's not free...unfortunately.

I'm a big fan of acronis trueimage for restores of win/lin.
Not sure if that's the kind of bare metal restore utility you're
thinking of though.

For a full disc imaging/cloning it's orders of magnitude faster than
using dd.
Unfortunately it's commercial.

"Is 't noodlot, dat ick vall', van eere en staet berooft,
Laet vallen, als ick vall', met deze kroone op 't hooft,
Dien scepter in de vuist, dien eersleip van vertrouden,
En zoo veel duizenden als onze zyde houden.
Dat valle streckt tot eer, en onverwelckbren lof:
En liever d' eerste Vorst in eenigh laeger hof,
Dan in 't gezalight licht de tweede, of noch een minder
Zoo troost ick my de kans, en vrees nu leet noch hinder."
