    If "Back Up Computer" means that you want to backup the C drive with all the locked system files then you're out of luck.
    80 GB isn't that much of data. Normally a script using the ROBOCOPY command should already work.

    Any of the popular disk imaging programs will do it. I don't think there is a lot to choose between them speedwise but I like Macrium Reflect.

    Yes imaging programs will do so. But backing up 80 GB of data might not be related to a image of the OS.
    I agree that those programs don't show a big difference in performance. Also ROBOCOPY already supports multithreading. The limit is rather the speed of the connection or the writing speed of the used media.
