Unless your data on this volume is 100% static, that's not going to help. The moment you touch that filesystem, it changes it. No backup of the mft would ever be valid at any point in the future... As Ken pointed out, you need to protect the contents of the filesystem, not of some aspect of the underlying workings. I'd be more interested in finding out why it tanked and preventing it.

I have found plenty of links on tools that can be used to recover or repair the MFT on disk, but no way to move the files off of disk as part of an over all data protection plan. Recently I found myself in the situation where the MFT and the MFT backup on disk were both corrupt which resulted in the loss of data.
