I always do this on any computer I have control of even if it is a single
drive. I make an image using Ghost of the drive as I build the system so
that if I screw up (technical term commonly used in UK <g>) at any stage I
can restore to the last image and start again. I then take an image when
all the updates are done so that if the system drive becomes corrupt through
dodgy software, a virus or a plain screw-up I can restore to the latest
image and have a clean system again. I tend to take a fresh image every
month or so to take account of updates and software I've added.
