After making an image backup in Windows 7 Pro 64bit to another partition on the same physical hard drive there is WindowsImageBackup folder. After that if I wanted to save this backup to an external drive would copying the WindowsImageBackup folder to an external drive be sufficient or is it more involved than that?

Yes. Copying the WindowsImageBackup folder from the partition to another physical drive is sufficient. Make sure you copy the WindowsImageBackup folder with elevated privileges (just for sure) - as I'm not sure right now if the folder is protected as system folder or not.

Yes. Copy the whole folder with admin access is just fine. If you have other disk imaging tool, for example Disk Genius, you can just copy the .vhd file in fact. The .vhd file is the actual backup.
