I'm probably in the minority but I'm one who doesn't make a rescue CD
(actually USB) until I actually need it. Then I use it and promptly toss
the thumb drive back in the pile to be recycled for other uses. Someone
who has a single PC is probably better off creating and storing a rescue
disc but that's not my situation here.

That's my point - "when I actually need it" is too late for a single-PC
user, if "need it" means the PC won't boot, for whatever reason
(hardware drive failure, you've done something silly, or malware). You
can't then _make_ the CD (or USB).

I've also used the single mini-CD I have on at least four systems, three
of which don't even have the Macrium software installed. (Well, I
actually have two mini-CDs, a 32-bit and a 64-, but - as friends
recently discovered - the 32- works fine to restore an image made with
the 64-. I'm not sure there's actually any significant benefit to the
64- - Paul?)
