Creating a System Image Backup

To begin, press the Windows button on your keyboard, then type "File History" and press Enter.
From the window that pops up next, click the "System Image Backup" button in the bottom-left corner.
Next up, look in the left-hand pane again, and select the option labeled "Create a system image."
At this point, the system image utility will pop up. This first window is asking where you'd like to save your system image, and the options are hard disk, DVD, or network location. Select the storage location for your system image, then if you're saving to a hard drive or USB/memory card, use the drop-down menu to select your preferred drive.
After clicking "Next," you'll be asked to select the drives that you'd like to create a image backup of. Your primary Windows drive and boot sector will already be selected, but if there are any other hard drives containing data that you would like to back up, select them here, then click "Next" again.
Up next, you'll get a chance to review your selections. If everything looks like it should, go ahead and click "Start backup." Depending on how many files and drives you selected, the backup process will take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or so.
When the backup process is completed, you'll be asked if you'd like to create a system repair disc. This is purely optional, so you can skip this step if you'd like.
With a system image backup now on standby, you can rest a lot easier knowing that if something ever happens to your Windows installation—be it hardware failure or software issues—you'll be able to get everything right back to normal in almost no time.

Restoring from a System Image Backup

Should you ever need to restore your system image backup, start by making sure that the drive containing the backup image is connected to your computer. From here, insert a Windows installation disc and boot into setup.
Once in Windows setup, click "Next," then choose the "Repair your computer" option in the lower-left corner. Next, click "Troubleshoot," then "Advanced Options," and select "System Image Recovery." From here, simply select the system image backup you created, then follow the prompts, and your computer will be fully restored to the exact state it was in when you created the backup.
