Previously we had the choice of the disk and the content? I forgot the path to perform a backup. Thanks in advance

Hello also,
That I have been using for years, O&O DiskImage 19 in Giveaway
The Giveaway:
The Setup (En):
The Manual (En)
It’s enough to create an ISO file with the DiskImage program (En adding the Intel RST driver if your PC is based on a recent Intel)
Create a bootable USB drive with Ventoy (Note that everything will be erased)In GPT mode for EFI (Secure Boot Support for Ventoy depending on how the BIOS is configured)
Ventoy is convenient in the sense that you can also put the Windows ISO on the USB key
Start on it with the PC’s Boot Menu keyOne can search on Google "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key"
From Ventoy start O&O DiskImage (ISO) and back up to the same USB key or an external drive, or wherever you want.
Select (Check the entire disk at once) at the top left before creating the image, (Not by selecting partitions one by one)
To restore afterwards, it’s also effective, it works.
