In the Windows 11 preview, does the system image creation feature still work 100% as expected?
Microsoft has deprecated the system image feature in the preview version, but the feature still exists. The backup feature works fine, but can it reliably restore data? The new Windows Backup app is too limited in its functionality.

Hi AdamWu, I would not rely on a deprecated backup feature in an Insider build as the only recovery path. It may still work, but Insider builds are not where I’d want to prove backup reliability for important data. If you test it, restore to a spare disk or VM-style test environment first, and keep a second backup method such as file backup plus a trusted imaging too
