Backup image question

[lucasbuck]

This is probably more of a windows question, but it's also a hardware question. Regardless, thought I would put it here! Since (knock on wood) everything has been working pretty good with my setup I was going to make an image backup. I haven't done that in a long time so my question is.
1 - Do those need it's own partition?
2 - Can I just throw it on a removable drive like a Passport?
3 - I seem to remember problems if it ever got moved from where it was saved to. Can they be copied to another storage device?
4 - Any certain things I need to know about backing up WMC setup? Anything particular, or just a regular windows image?

Thanks for any info.
