systemstate backup

1) wbadmin does not do it in Win10.
2) In ntbackup :


So, any other small thing to use?

Not an answer to you question, but Macrium Reflect and AOMEI have outpaced the standard Windows backup function, even for basic image copy functions. The paid versions offer even more functionality.

And is the outpacer Macrium capable of backing up system state only?

I think the term system state refers to Windows Server.
Macrium Reflect can backup a selected partition or all the partitions on a drive. A snapshot of my drive is attached.

I make a base image backup of 1, 2, 4, and 5, and then regular image backups of 3 (the C: drive containing the OS). If something with an install goes wrong then I typically only restore the C: drive.

False.

Macrium Reflect can backup a selected partition.... etc.

I use Macrium.

OK, sorry, I was only trying to help, but you want something more. Guess you know what MR can do but you want more. Bye.

A System State is a small NTBackup that contains

Windows System Registry
Performance Counter Configuration information
Component Services Class registration database
Boot and system files, including those protected by Windows File Protection (WFP)
The configuration of system-dependent Microsoft applications, such as Certificate Services, Active Directory, IIS etc.

It's was mostly used on Servers.

I discovered that my backup service IDrive does it, I ran one :


Cool, on the face of it. However, the computer continued churning after "Successfully completed...." A ton more stuff was added into it, totaling 4GB . Not good.
