Is this possible using Windows11? I want something like Macrium.
Plenty of backup apps can do that on an Win11 system

I've tried the one built into Windows; seems to work.
But I'll seek others.
The "Home" Macrium is so complex as to require joining two or more
extensions requiring passwords etc. Beyond comprehension!
I use an old version of Acronis True Image which
boots a linux removable drive on USB or CD and
that works fine and has a decent UI. Main downside
of it is that the drive letters can change with multi
disk setups but thats not really a problem, you
just have to be careful about that

I have been using a very-old free home-type Macrium that still works,
but I'm worried it might be discontinued soon. I use just an external
1TB drive to store backups. I want simple! simple! simple!
Yeah, thats why I keep using that Acronis True Image
and since it doesn't check with Acronis, it will work
forever until say there is a new drive format that it
doesn't support, and that's very unlikely given that
I don't bother with linux except to do backups
And I use an external 2TB drive to store backups
and backup 2 systems to that
