RollBack Home Edition is a free Windows tool, equivalent to Apple's familiar Time Machine mechanism. The program allows you to make a snapshot, containing not only system files, but also user data, and to use it if necessary, even if Windows cannot be started. An interesting mechanism is the Task Scheduler, thanks to which it is possible to schedule automatic shuttering of the system - once and/or in a specific time interval, e.g.

every specific number of hours, days, weeks, months. You do not need to restore the entire shutter to use the copy of the file in the backup (shutter). RollBack can be run on both the physical system and virtual machines.
