 		 #152894 - The benefit of disk images
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Raghunathan said:
Regular data back is fine - but who is going to go through all that program installations and configurations ???

This is the difference between a true Backup, and just taking copies of the files:
A true Backup would allow you to restore a complete disk image - without having to go through all the installs, etc...
