   It takes me around 10 minutes to restore an image of my C: drive (almost   
   33 GiB). To create that same image: 6 minutes. My C: is a SSD, maybe   
   that explains.

   You can use another program to backup data (documents, pictures, video,   
   ...). I keep that data on a separate drive D: (SATA), so I don't need to   
   remember anything when I create an image of C: (Windows and other   
   software).
