Customized windows 7 backup

[mohityadavx]

Is there any way to make a bootable backup of windows 7 with all the software/programs/drivers installed in it. Plz help as it is very tiresome to install all theses tonnes of software back. some of them i can't install again as they are giveaway from giveaway.com and can't be installed again once format.

While you can customise the Win7 installation with VLite (it works for Win7 too), it is not possible to include all softwares in it. You can include drivers & updates.

Use an imaging software. Acronis' and Norton's are good.

@ pauldmps i knew about rt7lite ( same like vlite) but doesn't really do the job.

@ishu i don't have any problem with paid software as it will save cost of buying so many giveaways but will acronis/nortorn do the job, will it be bootable.

Yeah they have their own boot manager.
