Every now and then, when a significant amount of changes was done to your Windows Vista-operated computer, making a backup is a good idea. Not only that will save you time required to install and tune all the software you need, it will also save whatever important data you kept.
The method described performs the entire system volume backup as a .vhd (Virtual Hard Drive) file. To do that, you need one more HDD to store the data.
To perform that from command line, run the cmd.exe as an administrator and type
wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:X: -include:C: -quiet
X: is your backup volume drive letter.
You can also run such a command via Task Scheduler. Don't forget to run the task as an administrator.
Note: when you run the command for the first time, it creates the mentioned .vhd file
All the subsequent backups will update this file.
