I was checking mine the other day and they had little red bumps all over them. I went to the doctor and she palpated them and told me I had a little macrium reflect. She told me to take two Advil every 4 hours and not to eat broccoli for 14 days. I did as she directed and now my Macriums are as spiffy as a baby&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Nah! You don&#8217;t have any Macriums and  neither do I. Let&#8217;s get back to business&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How many times are you going  to have computer problems and go through the same old routine? You know what we  mean. You have major problems with your computer, you format, reinstall Windows  and begin to panic because you don&#8217;t have all your software, you lost your  settings, your photos of Sasha Bensen are gone, you don&#8217;t have the registration  keys for the software you spent a small fortune on. So you spend the next 17  weeks writing to software companies begging for your registration keys; you  write your friends and ask them to send you pictures of Sasha Bensen &#8211;  especially the one where she&#8217;s wearing that white hat with feathers; you wallow  around in gloomy despair because everything you&#8217;ve been saving for years went  down the proverbial tubes.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, 27 weeks and 3 days later, your  computer is usable again, Sasha Bensen graces your desktop &#8211; but not the picture  of her in the white hat &#8211; you back up the 188 pictures of Sasha Bensens on 14  different flash drives and CD-ROM and &#8211; well &#8211; everything is more or less back  to normal &#8211; but it isn&#8217;t quite the same. But it&#8217;s good enough. So you forget all  about your terrible 27 weeks (and 3 days) and forget the importance of real,  mirror-image backups. You go merrily computing along without a worry in the  world. Again.<\/p>\n<p>Then, a few years (or months) down the road another  computer disaster strikes, and behold! You&#8217;re right back where you were &#8211;  another 27 weeks (and 3 days) of blood, sweat, and tears, it won&#8217;t make you so  very happy. When are you going to learn? The only good backup is a FULL  mirror-image backup &#8211; a clone of your hard drive(s).<\/p>\n<p>With an image  backup you don&#8217;t have to spend 27 weeks (and 3 days) rebuilding your computer &#8211;  you might spend an hour. Once that hour is over &#8211; you&#8217;re back up and running and  everything is perfectly restored &#8211; down to that last photo of Sasha Bensen  wearing an even cooler mauve hat with rattlesnake trim. Darn she looks good!<\/p>\n<p>Oh Sasha! I have to get back to business&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What if we told you there  is a program that is absolutely free &#8211; free as in zero dollars, free from  spyware, add-ons, toolbars, bundles, partners, popups, unruly check boxes &#8211;  totally free from annoyances of any kind; a program that works as well as $100  worth of Norton&#8217;s Ghost and is even easier to use?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re here to tell you  that we&#8217;ve stumbled upon one of the greatest finds in all human history &#8211; even  bigger than finding a cucumber that could recite the Gettysburg Address! We&#8217;ve  found the backup program that even the most computer illiterate among you can  figure out &#8211; just by looking at a simple tutorial. And those who are more  computer literate can figure it out just by opening it up, sneezing and allowing  the wizard to whiz you along.
