thanks for reply
trouble with constant update to imaging for the stand alone user is that you may update image the problem
most stand alones want to install the software then get on with life download create write etc
perhaps future sofware will allow image of c: partition
i guess that is kind of what restore does
but it is a mystery why windows does not allow stand alone users to lock / write-protect favoured restore points -
I am sure most users will learn when to delete favoured restore points
and we can all be saved from software that installs on a promise it fails to fulfill without our paying through the nose, but by the time we have found out all restore points have been overwritten
perhaps future laptops will have two hardrives - maybe one smaller fixed drive built into motherboard for c: drive software which can be imaged and a second port which will allow users to switch in and out -
i knowright now we use exteral drives and they are great for back up but i dunno - once my stuff is backed up i like to put it away in drawer and not take out until i need to - ie there is time for a house keeping pc / laptop day - sigh when you leave nerdville and enter real life there really does not seem to be the time does there?
when drives can be so small you have to wonder why a small space cant be allocated for a c drive which can be imaged to hearts content leaving the fixed drive for partitions, files and data, etc
