Windows Server Backup is of course one free, VSS-aware system image tool, but it has a long list of downsides that I believe I listed somewhere on this forum a while ago. 'MACRIUM REFLECT FREE' DOES NOT HAVE A PORTABLE VERSION Neither 'Macrium Reflect Free' nor 'Acronis True Image' have a 'portable app' version but since both let you boot up with their respect 'Rescue' DVDs, both can be run with no hard drive or registry footprint or usage of hard drive space. Although Macrium Reflect is a paid software, it also offers a free edition, which you can use when you’re replacing the hard drive (HDD) on your computer to a new Solid-State Drive (SSD), and you need to migrate your current installation with all your settings, apps, and files without the need of reinstallation and reconfiguration. For example, without going to a great deal of effort, you would basically be limited to rolling back the VM in its entirety rather than being able to extract individual files/folders from VM backups, and if you're using snapshots and differencing disks, even rolling back the VM by restoring the individual VM files extracted from the host server's backups has its challenges. If you only have VM backups courtesy of host backups, you limit and complicate your restore options. But even then, depending on what the VMs do, you should seriously consider having backup software within the VMs themselves, even if it's only backing up individual files/folders/databases rather than the entire OS. Note however that even if you found a free imaging solution that ran on Windows Server, if you're running VMs, you'd definitely want the backup solution to be VSS-aware in order to capture the VMs in a usable state.

Thanks to its ReDeploy feature, when you use Macrium to clone, the software will update Windows before it boots to ensure the. It makes the process of cloning easy, safe, and fast, and is able to tackle both common and obscure cloning challenges that many people run into. La imagen de disco resultante puede almacenarse dentro de la propia partición o en otras opciones mucho más adecuadas como una unidad de red, un dispositivo de almacenamiento portátil o una unidad de CD/DVD. Only Reflect Server runs on Windows Server OSes. Macrium Reflect's backup engine powers a clone process that just works. Macrium Reflect Free es una herramienta que permite clonar una partición por completo, aunque se esté ejecutando.
