There's no such thing as a FAST backup utility, but Acronis is certainly 
faster than Windows Backup. And more secure, easier to restore whole 
partitions or just versions of files, etc. And, as you'll note here, the 
Home version supports 64-bit.

Try the 15-day trial (though it certainly isn't long enough to decently work 
out a backup system, it will give you an idea of what speeds you might 
attain), and if you decide to buy, get it here. Cheaper:

Another one I'd consider is:
Image for Windows

However, note this line at the bottom of the product description:
"Compatible with Win64 (x64) (AMD64/EM64T) but not with IA64, GPTs, nor 
Dynamic Drives."

And while I hate Symantec to an unhealthy degree, many users swear by Ghost.
