I've always stated that having multiple backups is a good idea, well last
week I found out how good of an idea it was, I had recently installed a new
dual core cpu ie faster better etc. I made a backup before I did the upgrade,
I also installed a new larger hd for primary drive C, well to my sad suprise
I found my latest update to my backups corrupted everything, and I had only
one copy of my backups ie Image of Drive C. anyway I ran into multiple
issues, bad SATA cable, etc, it's taken me all week to get it up and
operating, when Id rather be outside playing in the sunshine. and Monday I
need to start over cause I need to install SATA drivers to access my
utilities hd, which has loads of documents and cool tools.
So I really really urge for people to make multiple backups and verify them
afterwards.

Agreed. Last time I rebuilt, I also stopped and took an image of just the
OS, then one with the OS, all updates and security programs. Those went to
DVD for permanent storage. Has come in handy a couple of times, mostly to
simply replace a corrupted file or two, but nonetheless were very nice to
have and small enough to search the backups quickly.
I always run verifcation too, though it's not necessary as a permanent
setting. Since they take nothing away from me and I know better than to sit
& watch backups, they add just a little more confidence to the images.

If you'd rather be out in the sunshine then why update a device that is
designed to keep you inside and away from the sunshine?

That's like a fat person getting their teeth fixed at the dentist. Why fix
something that further enhances their ability to gulp down food.
 
Because it was broke, you ditz....

Right, but if you'd rather be out in the sunshine, then leave it broke and
don't look back. Your body will get fresh air and a nice tan as opposed to
being inside all day surfing the web.
 
Typical activist statement. bye now!
