So for us paranoid types, we need to make sure the imaging software we use backs up and restores the MBR.  I'm not sure about the windows tools.  Anyone know?

Macrium Reflect backups the MBR and restore it if needed afaik.

Thanks for the reply.  I spent the weekend playing with Paragon's free backup software.  it also backs up the MBR and track 0, but not by default unless you backup the whole machine.  However it seems to work well and comes with a lot of options for free backup software.
