Creating a system backup?

Recently I’ve been getting into overclocking.


A few minutes ago I overclocked and reached 4.1 GHZ stable with a stock cooler.


However, after about 15 minutes of playing PUBG I BSOD’d.


Basically what I’m wondering is how I can make a backup, as I do know overclocking and receiving BSOD’s can cause memory loss.


Thanks!

And of the current cloning/imaging tools can do this.

I use Macrium Reflect. Create a full drive Image off to another drive.
However, this does nothing for any BIOS changes you make. That's all on you.
getting bluescreens during gaming means the OC is not stable...

(IN addition to Macrium Reflect, there is Acronis, a free version of which is available if you use a Western digital drive anywhere attached, as well as AOMEI Backupper, EaseUsTodo Backup, and CLonezilla, the latter being text based, but, very reliable)

In light of current tools, CloneZilla isn't as effective as it used to be.

Macrium or Acronis...you can create multiple images on a single target drive.
Each image is just a single file.

I have multiple images of all my systems and each drive, if applicable.

I wouldn't bother.
An Image made with either of those tools will probably work better.

And also, create a Macrium Rescue CD or USB to boot from in case of any issues with the internal C drive.
