[QUOTE="MrXidus, post: 191628, member: 111"] I've been using this feature since I had Windows 8 and I still use it to this day on Windows 8.1 Update 1. When making the backup to an external HDD with USB 3.0 speeds it performs the backup quickly. The restore process is also quick, I'd rather use this over having to freshly install Windows from a CD as that takes 4 times as long to do not to mention all the time having to re-install drivers and everyday software once installed. I make a new System Image every month hasn't ever let me down and with Windows 8/8.1 (with a UEFI enabled PC/Laptop) you can boot into UEFI click the Troubleshooting option > System Image Restore and go from there. or you can boot up from your Windows 8 CD if you have one and do the same if you don't have UEFI. Relating to fast and easy backups, a product called [URL='http://www.ax64.com/tour.php']AX64 Time Machine[/URL] might be worth trying. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
