>>If the cost is low and it is simple to implement why not maintain a restore option as an insurance policy? If I take your "why not" as a real question rather than as a foregone conclusion that one should maintain an image, then we agree 100%. One should analyze costs and proceed accordingly, that is, genuinely answer the question "why should" or "why not". These costs are not going to be the same for everyone. And, as you point out, discomfort is a cost. An uncle of mine was fond of remarking that "psychosomatic pain hurts." Lot of truth in that. The genuine "why not" answer for me is that my backup OS cost without maintenance is projected to be so low that maintaining a quick-restore is a higher cost. (I do, of course, have several restore options short of a full rebuild, as noted.) Spots PS. I don't really play DOOM <G>.
