backup

I am in the possession of a HP laptop specifically the HP Folio Ultrabook. I need to make an image of the harddrive so that in the event it needs to be restored I can do so with the base operating system which is Windows 7 Professional as well as the HP recovery partition. I also need to backup all data that is on the laptop.

Where do I start?
What software can I use? Please limit these to freely available software or Linux
I need to be able to backup the image to a file server and an external harddrive
Is there anything else I need to do or know?
The laptop is being used by a user on a domain
