Following
all your advice and bad apple's detailed explanation above I
have managed to backup my Mint root /, /home, and the Windows XP
partition. The Windows 'My Documents' partition is currently
backing up now.
However, the Windows 7 partition is not going so well. After
several hours backing up, it terminated with the following
error:
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous
errors) (code 23) at main.c(1070) [sender=3.0.9]
Error 23 seems to be 'partial transfer due to error', but what I
need to understand is /what/
error? There is plenty of space on the partition it's backing
up to - I purchased a SATA 2.5" 1Tb HD and caddy, partitioned it
in half and am backing up Windows to 1 500Gb partition and Mint
to the other, the Windows partition has about half free; I say
'about half' due to the current backup mentioned above still
being underway; it won't be full even when that's finished, but
as Windows 7 was backed up /before/
this one it had even more space available when it crashed. The
rsync error says 'see previous errors', where would I look for
that please?
/var/log/syslog would be a good start?
If you run the rsync command with the "-v" option (see man rsync)
you may get more information if/when it crashes the next time...

Thanks Martin, I'll give both of those a try.
