Thanks for the giveaway!
Personally, I haven't experienced a data loss in a very long, long time (starting using backup programs back in the DOS days with tape drives.) And I've been a regular user of imaging programs (Acronis TrueImage 10 was my first) for the last decade.
HOWEVER... I've been called to help out a number of friends and family when there machines would no longer boot. When it was possible....... I retrieved their data files (using Linux Live CDs) and then did a fresh format and reinstall of their machine.
THEN... [hours and hours and hours later] I would walk them through the process of how to image their system using an imaging program (such as Acronis TrueImage.) They were always happy to buy a license so they could rest easy knowing their precious photos, correspondance and other irreplacement data were safe... even if their HDD should suffer a catastrophic failure.
