How to create a system backup for clients?

Question

Backup

Hello!
A couple of years ago, the respected Boomburum asked how to create a full backup of the system with a simple subsequent restoration ( Spare Tire ). I want to ask how to create a similar "Spare Tire", but not for myself, but for other users.
Suppose people come to us with newly purchased laptops, we configure, install programs, and then we need to create a full backup on a USB flash drive. Only that the recovery procedure was not too complicated. Suppose a person does not boot the OS, he inserts a USB flash drive, presses a couple of buttons and gets a working, configured OS.
It seems like Acronis True Image is great for these purposes, but as I understand it, each user must have an Acronis license. Offering to buy a license is not an option, just like using a broken Acronis.

Answer 1

clonezilla free

Answer 2

So ask Acronis what they think about distributing boot disks with an image on them.
In general, apart from Akronis and Clonzilla, there are no sensible options. They are all buggy.
There is also norton ghost, but it also costs money.
Well, in general, clonezilla will suit you completely. It has a text mode, with arrows to select the necessary items and press enter according to the instructions from the picture, even a monkey can. If anything - on the phone you can tell what to press. Booting from liveusb will be more difficult than downloading an image from clonezilla.
As for one disk - clonezilla.org/liveusb.php and you already put the image on it (on the second partition).

Answer 3

If this is a windows system, then you can create an image of the system using windows tools, including a bootable DVD
