There are many ways to take backup of windows but here we will discuss two ways which feature is given by windows and it's very powerful and usable.
1) Create System Image and and 2) Create System Restore Point.
Create System Image vs System Restore Point:
- System image able to take backup of complete drive which you will select. It can take backup with all applications and data, But when you choose to create a System Restore point it takes backup only your applications which currently installed in your windows. It creates a replica of your applications but sometimes this tool is unable to restore your all applications. So I will prefer to use a system image to take a backup of windows.
