Al,
OK under your set of circumstanes, I agree with your rational. I treat
disk failure as just that, regardless of
what I was doing when a disk fails. I have had several disk failures,
but, never during a backup. Yes,
I do agree that this is possible. In this situation, I would confirm the
disk failure, replace the drive, qualify (format),
and attempt to do a restore of my past month's backup. At worst I've
lost 30 days of 'stuff.' I do not do weekly
incrementals due to the time involved.
I am still learning Win7pro and Win8.1pro. I do hope that System Restore
carried forward from XP. I do depend on
this feature.

Al,
No I don't see why an OS reinstall or new HD is necessary. Am
I missing something?

No, I think I'm missing something. The only backups I've ever done is to clone
the entire drive with something like PartedMagic. When you use Win 7 backup,
and, say have a drive failure, will it restore in one step? Or does one need to
re-install the OS and then apply the backup?
Thx,
Al
