Dual boot SSD and SATA hard drive with same image for backup?

I'm curious if anyone has tried this or would be able to make recommendations before I dive into it this weekend. I recently built a new desktop and I have an SSD running my OS and programs and a secondary SATA hard drive storing my data. I'm curious if it's possible to make an image of my SSD and recover it to a partition on my SATA hard drive for an emergency backup in case my SSD dies. Ideally, I could restore it on my SATA hard drive, but not use it. Then if my SSD dies, I can boot to the backup on the SATA drive until I get a new SSD. Has anyone done this or know what I would need to do to accomplish this? I haven't had any luck searching for this setup.  If not, I'll test it this weekend and post the results.  As always, thanks for the comments.
