Quote - I have it and my content installed on a separate partition from Windows, so I can reinstall Windows without losing anything. 

I also have the included PP2012 content installed in a folder with all of my other external runtimes so I can keep them all backed up easily.

I should probably do that myself I kinda have everything the poser default.

but the other option is do incremental HDD backups to another drive , I use Acronis Home image for it because it works like Nrn ghost in the fact it can restore my copy of  windows and any applications on windows without having to reactivate.

downside unlike ghost though adware can get into the image if it is already on your system so the soultion would be to have a minimum image on a blu-ray / DVD with poser and runtime installed (without key) this way if you lost your recovery disc it would be useless and since each system is different windows would automatically be deactivated , I have a min image on a 25GB BD as my Runtime is about 10GB.

Desktop : AMD FX4100 , GT-630 1GB, 4x BD-RE , AOC e2343 23in LED Monitor , 1TB External (120mb/s write speed)(stores my all poser stuff and photo's from camera) and 1TB internal HDD
