Yes. If your Windows C: drive is labeled "DOSWIN" and you back it up,
then upgrade to OS/2 and label the drive as "OS/2" and back that up,
you now have two distinct images of the drive available for restoration,
in case you want to go back to Windows. Of course, individual files
are also available.

I wouldn't advertise this too heavily - if you stay with your OS/2
system, the "DOSWIN" filespace will never expire since versions are
marked as inactive or expired only when the filespace is next backed
up. If everyone were to do this sort of thing, your ADSM storage
requirements could quickly get out of control.
