I tend to forget about VSS etc., because I always make my Macrium images
having booted from the Macrium CD, in which situation VSS _isn't_ of
course the default method. I also use this - and apologies to readers
who are fed up of me doing this - as a reminder to people to make the
damn CD! (In the past - though not so much recently - I got fed up of
seeing, for example, comparisons of all sorts of backup/image/whatever
softwares, where little or no mention was _made_ of the necessity to
make the software's bootable CD. Whatever the software in question -
Macrium, Acronis, EaseUS, others, even Microsoft's own built-in.)

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.
