I possess a PC equipped with an M.2 SSD from Samsung 980 Pro, featuring 2TB of storage. Recently, this M.2 device was damaged and no longer detected by the system. I acquired a second M.2 from Samsung, the 990 Pro, and had to reinstall my software on it from the ground up. My PC is running W11 Pro, with 32GB of RAM, and is paired with an ASUS Maximus XIII Extreme processor with a 11700k CPU.

I am interested in purchasing software that can create an image of the M.2 drive. Should I encounter similar issues again, copying the image onto the new drive might resolve the issue. I have also bought a 4TB external USB 3.1 HD to store the generated images. Ideally, I would switch between two images and update one periodically through continuous backups. Thank you for your assistance.

Macrium Reflect is highly suggested in this area. I rely on it every day, serving as the foundation for my complete backup process.

I downloaded Macrium Reflect, installed the personal trial version, and performed a cycle to create images and backups. I explored various settings and found many useful features. I need guidance on verifying whether an image was successfully generated and whether I can boot my PC from that image on the backup drive. The numerous options are making me doubt if I configured the software correctly for recovery in case of M.2 storage failure again.

Ensure recovery media is available within Macrium so you can access your PC through the interface even if the main drive fails. A USB flash drive of at least 1 GB is required. Use the Macrium menu options to build it and verify boot functionality. Persist in trying until successful. This step is essential for maintaining access when your drive is non-functional.

I reviewed the UI settings on Macrium and became more aware of the available options in I/F. It also highlighted how unclear it is about which settings need to be selected for backup and restore tasks. I examined all the choices, focusing on what would enhance the software's capabilities. I visited the Macrium website and considered using "Macrium Reflect 8 Home," thinking it would be the version I’d use.

I also discovered files related to Macrium viBoot for Hyper-V virtualization, Macrium Image Guardian, and a tool from Oracle that uses a virtualization platform. During installation attempts, I was prompted to check if Python was installed on my PC, which required additional software to run. I decided to explore the SDK to understand how packages should be installed for Python compatibility and viBoot installation. However, my efforts were unsuccessful.

How can I resolve this properly?

Currently, you only require the Image file generated on your 4TB external drive and a RescueUSB created using Macrium. Temporarily set aside all VM-related tasks. Once you've set up the RescueUSB... After that, if you need to restore data, boot from this RescueUSB. It offers a suitable environment to recover the Image from the 4TB to your chosen internal storage. Either keep the current SSD or install a replacement if the original fails.

Once you've created tat RescueUSB, run a test immediately. Check if it boots as expected. After that, store it securely elsewhere. I keep one in the lower part of the PC case—it's safe and can't be misplaced or overwritten.
