I find this a very good description of not only how to create a system image, but the importance of creating one. I have often wondered why the “size” is so small and this explains that it is only the changes that are added to the base system.
This was helpful, but one thing confused me. While setting up the backup, you said to include the default option to make a system image. I did. – But then in the second half of the tute, you explained how to make a system image as a separate routine. That makes it sound like I need to make two images, but that doesn’t make sense — ? So, do I need to have the backup routine make an image, and then make yet another image as your tute implies?

Try File History. It is built into Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.
As I understand it, this is exactly what happens
