    Hey Y’all,

    Well here’s one I’m sure you haven’t seen before…

    I just installed a new Keyboard Tray, yeah a Keyboard Tray.

    When I reconnected the keyboard and booted my main driver…BSOD! Windows tried to repair…BSOD. Etc., Etc.

    Of course, today is the day I have a big presentation on avoiding scams for our retirement community.

    Well after several tries I decided it’s time for the old Image Backups to come out.

    What I really appreciated was about Image for Windows was the fact that that nice side bar was sitting on the left side of the screen so I didn’t have to fish out the USB Drive to boot to run IFW. Yeah, I have a couple of them JIC! I connected my backup drive, started IFW, restored C:, separate partitions for Windows C: and Data G: so I didn’t have to worry about loosing the latest changes to the presentation (PowerPoint), rebooted, and all is good.

    I’m posting this just to reinforce the need for a good backup regime and good backup software. You just never know and of course Mr. Murphy ALWAYS shows up at the worst times!

    May the Forces of good computing be with you!
