[QUOTE="pxxb1, post: 1078955, member: 69270"] There are many popular imaging programs and some are not that dependable as one might think because of the popularity. Aomei and EaseUSTodo are 2 which the net will confirm has many problems. Macrium Reflect (paid), Hasleo Backup Suite (free) and MiniTool Shadowmaker (free & paid) are popular AND reliable programs which will restore what you have backed up. MR and MTS can back up to a usb. If you want to restore to a working Os with a backup you select System backup but, do you want EVERYTHING back, you select the option which you see backs up the entire disk. Every partition. Maybe that means you want a cloning program. Google it. But an image that backs up everything is usualy enough. Nowadays reg, crapcleanrs and defrag/optimize are not necessary since Windows takes care of that by itself. So use the inbuilt feature, read up on Storage Sense. [/QUOTE]
