Boot-It NG
Terabyte Unlimited’s $35.00 USD Terabyte Boot-It Next Generation is both a tool for managing partitions, (creating, deleting, growing, shrinking and sliding) and a boot manager. It is the one I chose to use myself after experimenting with many of them.

The current version is 1.82b  On 2008-01-22, I determined it was last revised 2008-01-21.

It lets you have more than 4 primary bootable partitions if you use Boot-It exclusively for boot and partition management. It will back up the MBR. Boot-It will modify the MBR for each OS so that it gets to see the MBR in its preferred order with a partitions hidden it is not supposed to touch. This lets you shift partitions around without having to manually edit all the boot.ini files. It will also see the MBR as if it were originally the primary boot partition. It can also create images of partitions for backup. It is not a full blown backup, but it gives you the basic operation needed.

The competition is Acronis, a much slicker product, but which failed on my Vista machine. The venerable Partition Magic has not been updated to handle Vista.
