Well guys, if you had to put your job on the line, or your life on the line depending on a Microsoft Image Backup to restore your PC to normal health operation with 0% data loss; you wouldn't like the result!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Microsoft Backup & Microsoft Image Backup have failed to do the job with all their media options available.
I've tried the DVD, USB flash drive, and external hard drive options. We W10 Insider Testers tested it extensively with W10 Preview & RTM in a large variety of hardware (desktop PCs, laptops, & tablets) globally. We did have some fellows tell us it worked for them, but as you all know, I don't recommend processes, programs, or apps that can't reproduce results mentioned elsewhere!! I've had troubles with
ALL Microsoft backup and backup image programs going back to Win95 and prior. In every Fortune500 company I did IT work for
*including IBM*; we did extensive testing on the Microsoft backup programs, and in every case, they failed to perform to business standards.
In every case it was replaced by 3rd party solutions. If you wish to continue recommending MS Image Backup to users, go right ahead, but I will have to jump in and jump on those recommendations as unreliable-sorry!!
My 2 cents.
