Having worked in this industry for so long I have a personal saying ,"Always have a backup, always". You might say that the grammar is wrong or the wording is redundant but that is the point. You really need to have redundant backup or else you might just suffer a panic attack when "the shit hit's the fan".
Creating image backup is easy, just boot in a free version of clonezilla and do your backup, but working with users is often hard. There are many people who refuses to let you shut down their computers as they often have mission critical systems and any downtime will have an effect on the company's productivity.
Fortunately there is a free way to backup a Windows machine with out having to reboot the unit called Macrium Reflect free.
Backup is simple just run the program and indicate where you would like to place the image backup (preferably in an external drive) and wait for it to finish and you just created for your self a nice little insurance for your self.
Here is the description from their site
