This is why I do routine system images. If the worst happens I'll only be out a couple of weeks worth of work........... Be prepared!

Yes. An image restore can also replace the mbr.

Couple of weeks?

Weekly or after a major update make a new image.

Windows Backup and Macrium!

I usually image about once per month. My actual data is on my server at home, nothing terribly important on my desktop itself. I don't need to image more frequently then this as not much changes on my machine in 2-4 weeks time.
