  (Partition/disk) Imaging software is for bare-metal restores, mostly
for restoring the OS, programs, settings, etc.. It's not file-level
backup [1]. Two completely different animals and one is no replacement
for the other.

  But indeed, you don't *need* imaging software, if you're willing to
re-install the OS, etc. if needed.

[1] But most imaging packages can also do file-level restores.
