Most people like it as simple as possible. Users like us here, like the challenge of learning how to use simple software. I have customers who don't know their right from their left with this kind of software. Often more than not, I have to go into their system with remote access. Having to use a USB or DVD based to activate restore is not an option. Even if I was physically present I still would prefer the simplest, fastest way possible to recover a system (time is money
). Having drive makers like Sabrent and WD offering a simple backup solution with a GUI within Windows for recovery is within itself a large time saver. Now, if the only option is a boot method than again, the fastest simplest solution is the one that's always sought. I'm not saying that what you suggest isn't good because I haven't tried it but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from.
