This also makes for added safety--since both the desktop and laptop's HDDs have a regularly updated copy of my key data, as well as the boot partitions,

If my harddrive has one partition ie C drive, is there also a separate boot partition? Is this a separate backup procedure?

Looking at the logistics of a complete restoration.

The advantage of Power Quest over using Windows explorer to copy a drive seems to be the space saving. In order to restore a totally failed system I would, using Power Quest

1. Use my "quick Restore" manufactures CD to make my computer operational again.

2. Use Power Quest to restore the compressed copy of the C drive that would reside on the D drive.

Is my understanding correct?
