Drive Snapshot - Disk Image Backup for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/X64,
Will make a BU while in Windows 10, just like AX64TM Version 1, and then restore it the same way.
The Restore was very fast upon reboot just like AX64... Ax64 does the restore inside windows, with windows frozen, then at 100% it reboots PC...
DriveSnapShot"DSS" does this in the same way, except upon reboot it does the restore during startup. Both are about same speed too in Windows 10.
BUT if your PC dies, you need a boot medium. So here is how you make a bootable USB in Windows 10, for SnapShot.
This method is straight from the developer himself.
Go to start button in Windows 10. Type and run RecoveryDrive.exe
Just follow the prompts. Here is a tutorial with screenshots. Recovery Drive - Create in Windows 10
This will create a Windows boot environment on a USB stick or disk.place snapshot.exe (or snapshot64.exe) in the root Folder.
Now you can boot this stick, navigate to command line, and start graphical snapshot.
OPTION 2. This boots into a GUI
Download this Win10586PESE-x64
Burn it to USB and boor with it. It gives you a OS right on the USB itself and you browse to your Snapshot.exe or even the install directory and run Snapshot.
