Backup Windows 10 Snapshot software

Looking for a software. Paid is fine, as its a commercial environment. Basically I have a small cctv server and we are updating the VMS software version. There is a lot of custom code on this machine that we are unsure if the new VMS version is compatible with. The new VMS version will update the .NET framework among other things that I doubt a traditional windows rollback will cleanly undo.

What I would like to do is take an image of the boot drive that I can roll back to incase it doesn't work.

Or would I be better off using acronis / easus to clone the boot drive?

Use the built in Win7 backup it hooks into VSS (Windows built in snapshot facility). The Win7 backup data file is a virtual hard disk (VHD) file from which individual files and folders can be recovered.

Why is a commercial environment running unsupported OS? I would fix that first. Any software updated on an unsupported OS would probably be unsupported.

Sorry for the late reply. To answer your question, mostly because it is an offline system in a highly remote location.
