I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 and finally have all my applications installed and want to take a snapshot of my boot drive so that I can reimage the drive quickly if something catastrophic were to happen.

I remember reading a thread some time back where a software program was recommended but alas, I did not bookmark it like I had intended to do.

What is the best software to do what I need to do?

TIA!

Macrium Reflect Free if you want to clone one drive to another. Veeam Backup Free if you want an image backup.

I use Acronis backup, which has a drive imaging solution. That said I never use it b/c I've found that it's just easier to reinstall the applications I want to keep instead of trying to flash back to older versions and upgrade them all.

Try Clonezilla. It's open-source and works very well.

I have over 1k machines loaded with Symantec System Recovery -- from release 2011 to 2013 to 2013 R2 (the latest version). These are servers and desktops and are imaged on a nightly incremental and weekend full.

For what you're looking for, it's great... and the price point is like $60.

We tried Acronis and I'll never give them a penny again...
