Recover System Image Keeping Data Intack
Is there a way to make a system recover image disk that would not overwrite the personal data on the date of recovery, not when the disk was created?

is this a hypothetical situation for which you are preparing? If so, you might do as I did: partition your drive, adding a partition for user data. My OS and applications are in C:, while all user files (Word docs, music files, photos, etc.) are in my new D: partition. I am able to do a system restore from a full disk mode backup by restoring just C:. D: remains untouched, yet I can always roll back to an earlier system state contained in my many ATI backup images.
If this is a current situation where you must restore an earlier system image but worry about losing new data or changed data since the backup was made, I suggest this: backup your user data files first, which could be done using ATI or a file-backup utility such as Robocopy (free, part of Windows) or MS SyncToy (free). After restoring the system image, restore the user data separately.
