Absolutely, possitively, undoubtedly, assuredly, unabashedly, and
completely correct.
And with no-brainer solutions like casper around, and the roll your
own have it your way, dos, windows, and linux solutions completely
accessible from terrabyte, and another nice one called drive
snapshot, ghost being able to be run from windows or dos with batch
files, there just is no excuse for not backing up.
It is the absolute first thing I do with any new computer I get, even
before window-eyes goes in.
Because good as window-eyes is, we all know even it can botch up a
system and blow up the video chain, yes it can.
I probably don't run images as often as I should, after all, we get
busy and we get lazy, but you can bet your sweet hind end I do it at
key points, before any major software installation, or major change.
the times I haven't I've regreted it all too often.
But for most of my computers, I have several good working images of
installs that are stable, and have most of the stuff I like to work with on it.
It just makes life so much easier.
