I want to have windows image but have it saved incrementally Is there a way only backup data created by me so the backup is small, and I pull the windows OS data from ISO.
So you want a system image without the system and just the user data.
Then why not just backup the userdata?
You mean userdata folder I assume, there is data every where like program-file, program-data, windows folder it self, windows customization
Would also need a way to restore this data
You want to use the Windows Iso as a Reference? That is like 5 GB of data. Why do you want to have such an incomplete Backup to save just 5 GB?
I am OK with 5GB data tell me how to have incremental backups of the windows image ?
That for example dependa on how you want to do your backups. You could for example run the Windows Backup then feed it into a backup tool lime restic and your done.
I’m not the data retention guy where I work, but most backup software supports incremental backups. As far as built in Windows features, I think what you’d be looking at is the shadowcopy feature?
I’d use the community version of the Veeam backup agent for Windows.
