I realize VMs are a super cool thing but I've not gone that route yet, and 2 machines seem like a better risk than just having 1. Of course, a good backup is a MUST. My backups are usually only of the Development folder (which includes all customer correspondence too). Always wanted to have a backup "image" but years ago I became disenchanted with Norton Ghost as it seemed to not deliver on imaging the same thing to the new machine. Been too long to recall the details, though.

What do you folks use to safeguard your systems in case of hardware failure? Any Norton Ghost users?

LOL. Yeah, long-term plan is always a challenge.

However, keeping VMs around with the last few OSes is pretty necessary
if you have to support clients with a couple of different versions.

Had a bugger of a problem recently that I was struggling to repro
until the client mentioned they were on WinXP!

Decisions, decisions....what would you do? I'm guessing "just buy the
2nd machine for a better long-term plan" (due to hardware life
expectancy).


"long term plan" with regard to Windows makes me LOL. :)
