Thanks for your nice comments. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to install all of the collections at once - however, your question does allow me to again restate the need to keep good, full, mirror image backups.

There are many reasons why full, mirror image backups are important - had you kept your computer fully imaged, you would not have to reinstall all of the collections for Smileycons, nor any program you had installed. Plus, you could have saved a lot of money because you wouldn't have had to take your computer in for repair (unless it was a hardware problem - other than a hard drive). Even if your hard drive failed, you could have installed a new hard drive, and used your image backup to put everything you had on your old hard drive on your new one.

You can get Paragon Backup (program) free - but the free version has some limitations, such as not being able to run scheduled incremental backups - which is a convenience. You can, of course, use Paragon to create mirror-image backups of your hard drive any time you want, but you'll have to do them manually. If you want to mirror (clone) your hard drive automatically - on a schedule of your choosing, you'll need to buy the paid version of Paragon or use Acronis. If you are going to buy a backup program, Acronis without a doubt, is the best image backup software money can by. But Acronis doesn't offer a free version - like Paragon does.

The important thing to remember is that mirror-image backups can save you a lot more than aggravation. They can save you time and they can save you money. If something happens to your computer you won't have to worry about getting ripped by Geek Squad or some other computer repair service, you can get your computer back up and running, by yourself, in 45 minutes or less. And assuming you made the mirror image backup when your computer was running well, when your restore your hard drive from that backup your computer will be exactly - EXACTLY - as it was then. You won't have to reinstall anything - not even Windows. You'll not lose one single file from your computer - everything will be exactly as it was when the mirror-image backup was created.

We stress mirror-image backups so much because we've had to restore our computers several times; we cannot afford to lose a single file on our business computers. So we do practice what we preach, and we've had to use our mirror-image backups more often than we would have liked. But anyone who uses a computer for any length of time is going to find there will come a day when they're going to wish they had kept a good mirror-image backup. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when. Computers are not perfect and there are many, many things that can go wrong - even if you take extreme measures to keep your computer well maintained. Like humans - computers age - and the older they get the more maladies they suffer.
