Software like Aomei Backupper take a backup of the whole drive as an image, so that it can be restored on a fresh, blank hard drive. Only recently I went to turn on a machine and instead of a gentle whirrrrrr, it clicked and didn't start. Modern hard drives, while having the technology to store oodles of documents and photos, are still mechanical (yes, apart from SSDs) and do break down. Its actually very important, as (especially with the newer versions of Windows) updates applied automatically can sometimes make the machine unbootable. Some people back up their documents or photos, but not many people back up their operating system. Most people leave it "until later" or don't do it "as its too difficult", which is (obviously) bad. These two statements may seem identical, but so few people do #2, means #1 isn't possible. Everyone should have a recent backup of their computer, and everyone should regularly backup their computer.
