Thanks, bitsnpcs. Yeah, Systemback is something I really need to use a little more than I am right now. I have never used any such program in the past. As of this posting, the only restore point I have is the one I created immediately after the install and my minor tweaking. I need to set at least one more now that I have everything setup exactly the way I want it. As a matter of fact, I think I'll create one as soon as I'm done here today.
As for data backups, that's another of those things I need to do more often. For over 30 years I practiced and preached backup, backup, backup, to all my customers. Way back, when I was involved with data processing instead of personal computing, all the installations and companies I worked at used the "son, father, grandfather" backup procedures with at least one set of backups held off site. Of course being the good, conscientious computer guru I was supposed to be, I got caught a couple of times with no backups and a completely crashed system. :-[ So yes, I need to create backups much more often.
No need to tell me about the differences between the Linux community and it's software products versus Corporate OSes. I started seeing the writing on the wall about Win95C SR2.5. That's about the time I discovered Red Hat Linux followed shortly by my discovery of Mandrake. Sometime shortly after MS released Windows ME, I switched from using Windows on my own PCs to Linux. Then about 15 years ago I switched every PC in my home to Linux, including my wife's PCs. She loves Linux compared to her buggy Windows PC at work.
