Veritas has a few backup solutions. The particular one I use is Veritas System Recovery 23. Veritas bought the Symantec product of the same name a few years ago and updated it. At the core it's essentially Symantec Ghost which had been around for many years, and (most importantly for me) it's ultra rock solid.
Regarding the Macrium failures, few, other than the overly obsessed (yours truly) rarely do any extensive failure testing of Imaging software (time consuming, boring, and a pain) as is assumed that all such solutions will act without fault; sadly this is not the case.
