The following subcommand creates a backup of the system state of a computer. A backup of the system state can only be saved to a locally attached disk (either internal or external). It cannot be saved to a DVD or to a remote shared folder. In addition, only the system state and system applications can be recovered from this backup—volumes and files cannot be recovered from this backup.
