@ topgundcp
Very good tutorial and apps but after taking the backup how will install the back of that OS if i have formatted C Drive

When making a backup image of current OS, You would save it to an external hard drive and when restore is needed. Boot up from the usb then restore back to C:

M8 any tutorial available

Error - Backup Aborted - Volume Bitmap is NULL

Try using a different imaging program.
