Re: Virus recovery tools & techniques

Another option:

Make monthly full drive backup images, which take only a few minutes to create.

I keep the system and programs on one drive, and data on another so I can back up and restore them separately.

If all else fails, restore the latest image and lose only a few weeks of data at most. In my experience, this is usually affordable and beats spending 3 days or so hacking at the thing and hoping to get it back to normal.
