>>88014For baremetal restores, disk2vhd onto some appliance that takes snapshots.
Windows can mount vhds, so you can extract any file from any snapshot easily, and if your computer asplode, you just ghost the whole vhd onto a new disk.
Because it uses volume shadow copy, the images are internally consistent.
You can also handle snapshots and versioning yourself, but that's a lot of work. I use bup to automate it, because it's free, but if you're not very technical you should just buy a NAS that does snapshots.
