Look into finding a copy of Winclone. The main problem for SuperDuper and CCC is the inability to write to NTFS volumes. They can backup your files, but often not necessarily capture the extended attributes with regards to ownership and permissions etc, resulting in an inability to make a sensible restore.
Winclone is no longer in active development, but it is effectively CCC for windows/bootcamp partitions. I've used it to transfer bootcamp partitions from one drive to another in the past.

There is no effective way to back up or duplicate your Windows boot partition while booted into Mac OS X.
The only effective way to back up or duplicate your Windows partition is to boot into Windows and use a Windows backup utility. There are many available, such as Symantec Norton Ghost.

You could use

instead of the disk
(should be much faster).Example:
