In Windows you can only reliability back up your
data, not your programs. "What serial number?"
"I don't have a password?" You have to reinstall
everything from scratch and you need all their keys
and serial numbers or they have to repurchase
everything.
I have to ask: what is the customer's disaster planning, e.g. if the
machine is physically damaged and unrecoverable?

It varies wildly between the customer. "If"
(it takes a while for them to trust you) I
can talk them into backing up their stuff,
I create a directory called "C:\Drivers"
where I put all their serial numbers, key,
source code, etc. for all the programs they
have me install.
And if they give me permission, I have an
encrypted locker at my business that I put
their stuff into as well. I started this
when I got tired of telling folks I did not
know what their WiFI password was.
You would not believe the customers that lose
computers because they thought I was selling
them a disgronificator when recommending a UPS
power supply. Same with backup.
I back up their data. For those that are
hermetically irresponsible on such things,
I put them on Carbonite.
If you have no experience with Windows, some of
the Micky Mouse involved in recovering things
is going to strike you are me pulling a fast
one you. But with Windows it is better to
start over fresh and reinstall things than
to try to recover after a hard drive crash.
There are just too many things that go wrong
with Windows over time.
The difference between the technology and quality
of Fedora and Windows will make your head spin.
As I have stated before, I wish I had more
Linux customers. Linux is just fun to work on.
Windows is such a house of cards. And I am
FULLY AWARE that I would not have a job if it
was not for M$'s poor quality.
