These are unsupported versions of Winclone that have been modified to work (better?) in OS X Lion. The original author abandoned this code years ago,
so Lion support has been added to the backend Perl (since we do not have the source to the GUI). For more information please see:

Here are the steps that I use to backup/restore an image:
Backup
1) Open Winclone
2) Go into Preferences and check "special" for disk image (my Win7x64 machine
is NTFS)
3) Image Bootcamp Partition
Restore
1) Delete Bootcamp partition in disk utility. This is assuming you've tried to restore and failed. If you don't have a Bootcamp partition and already have your backup, then go
to the next step.
2) Load up Boot Camp Assistant, select the 3rd option, insert Windows 7 DVD, make partition same or larger than OS you are restoring. Sadly, BCA no longer lets you partition wit
hout a DVD.
3) Click Install.. Partitioning Disk will start and this will take some time.
Might as well start to exit your programs because your machine will restart.
4) On restart, turn your machine off. Do NOT go through the Windows install.
Turn it back on and hold down "option" key and re-boot back into OS X.
5) Now perform restore with Winclone.
Changes:
2.3.3 Incorporated "disk already not mounted" changes from
roaringapps comments. Added additional documentation on restores in
readme file (i.e. about not installing Windows after Boot Camp Assistant
completes the repartition).
2.3.2 Removed support for Compressed images when your Bootcamp partition type is NTFS. Will fall back automatically to uncompressed.
If you need compression, use the "special" image format.
2.3.1 Modified the output parsing for a few Lion commands where the syntax had changed from Snow Leopard.
Added NTFSProgs to image.
