Even Safe Mode will not help you if your hard disk fails. A disk image
makes an exact copy, including all of your installed applications, media,
and data. System Restore just keeps track of your system files. The
Microsoft backup feature in Windows 7 comes close to the peace of mind that
a disk image provides. It can make a copy of everything onto external
media. I do not think it can be restored without sighted assistance.
Perhaps if you reinstall Windows 7, then you should be able to restore
everything back to the way it was.
I also use carbonite.com to automatically backup all my data off site in
case of disaster or I do something really stupid (much more likely).

on things that matter.

Well, you can, with a little sighted assistance, in safe mode.

And if your computer won't start, you can't restore it using the system
restore.

Hello.
So if your PC starts acting really weird in any number of ways there seem
to be 2 options categories to restore it.
1. use some commercial system/data back up software like "image for
Windows' which was covered by Moderator David a while ago here and is at
the list website. so we are supposed to use such software when the PC is
healthy so we can revert to it in case of trouble.
2. Other way is to simply use the Windows native offering of system
restore which allows us to restore the system to a condition in the past
at a restore point when we know the PC was healthy.
Why should I bother with any of the PC backup software instead of
depending upon the Windows system restore? What are my incentives to use
#1 over the Windows system restore?
