I used to install my programs to a different drive, but it became pointless after
time went on, because even though the reg entries will still be there, you have no
way of knowing that your program files are fully intact or if all of the associated
files will be there, where the registry says they will be. Generally they will have
to be reinstalled anyway. Was a good idea, but in the long run, really not practical.
No partition manager is 100% reliable. Now on the other hand, imaging software is
in my opinion, indispensible for backing up a full image of your physical drive.
That would include your Windows install as well as your data when needed, or just
individual partitions/logical drives like data only. That is my, as well as others
favorite backup schemes here on this forum. In this way, you don't need to have
your apps on a seperate drive/partition/logical drive.. You can image your Windows
install and apps together in one shot. Restoring it when (not if) a disaster occurs,
is a simple matter after a hardware meltdown, or data corruption/damage..
Good Luck!
