The reason professionals use imaging is faster recovery... and I have
encountered difficulties with it in the past when restoring to a different
drive geometry. NT4 was troublesome in this way... it can also be
"interesting" when dealing with multiple OS's on the same HD...

I would prefer one of the more conventional means of backup for a home
computer unless one is very comfortable with the technology.
