The concept behind a recovery disk is that you create it when the system is
in a known good state. It makes no sense to make an image when it is not
fully, and correctly, operational.

That being said, I create incremental images - sometimes when a system is
sour. This way if I try to correct for the problem, and end up making it
worse, I can go back and try something different.

When I work on a customers system the first thing I do is to create an image
and store it on a removable drive. Then I begin work on their system. If I
need to go back, I can. When the system has been repaired I toss the
original image.
