How Create ISO or IMG File of Bootable OS ?
Is there a reliable and easy way to create an ISO or IMG file of an active OS on a SSD with AOMEI Backerupper Pro ? I want to create a bootable ISO file of Windows 11 that is on my C: drive so I can use it on Ventoy so I can can boot it up on a Ventoy USB drive so I can use AOMEI Backupper Pro to clone the ISO image back onto the computer's SSD if it ever become corrupted or infected with malware. I tried it with AOMEI's Create Bootable Media in the Tools menu to create an ISO file of my C: drive without any success. The ISO file created by AOMEI Backerupper's Create Bootable Media is less than 1GB when my C: drive is over 65GB. The only successful way I tried was to use AOMEI Backupper to clone the C" partition onto another internal HDD/SSD which mean I would have to open up the PC and physically swap the HDD/SSD for it to work.
