Please, could you post the command(s) and/or batch file to make a full system image (or a full drive image with all partitions) from CMD ? I imagine you're doing it from a pure DOS boot and not within Windows. I want to image XP and Win 7 installations, but someone else might want to do this for Win 8 or 10! I know this thread is old, but I hope someone will notice. This seems like a 'clean' solution, independent of an imaging program that may not restore with a later version. Many thanks!
Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:G: -include:C: -quiet This creates a system image of C: on my drive G:. Nope, it runs from within Windows just like the built-in system image backup does. I do run it from a DOS batch file; it can be run from the command prompt
