Backup and Bare Metal Restore

[lozmachine]

Hi, don't know if anyone will be able to help me..

I'm looking for some software I can use to image my full hard drive installation to a network drive (easy part)
And be able to restore it to a completely different computer? (hard)

I read up about it and I believe it's called a bare metal restore.

Does anyone know any free software I can use? Or any trial software around that actually has this function enabled?

I am looking to purchase in the near future but I'd rather test to see if it works first, but it seems most companies don't allow the function in any demos

Thanks

Your assumption about the function not available in trial/demos is most likely correct. Here are some links, for bare metal
