re: Board recommended Hard Drive Imaging Software

I use Acronis backup, which has a drive imaging solution. That said I never use it b/c I've found that it's just easier to reinstall the applications I want to keep instead of trying to flash back to older versions and upgrade them all.

The point of imaging is disaster recovery, so you don't have to reinstall the OS from scratch, then drivers, updates, programs (and entering all their associated keys) etc. I know it takes me a couple of days to install from scratch and get completely back to normal, which I do only when installing a new version of Windows or building a new PC. Otherwise, I take a fresh image once a month and do file-based backups of my data much more frequently than that.
For imaging, I use Image for Windows, and for file-based backups, SyncBackSE.
