How to create a system image with Win8

Win8 creates a system image as follows:

A system image is an exact copy of a drive. By default, the system image contains the drives required for Windows to run. It also contains Windows and system settings, programs, and files. If your hard disk or computer does not work, you can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer. When you restore your computer from a system image, a full restore is taken. Individual items cannot be selected for restore, and all current programs, system settings, and files will be replaced by the corresponding content in the system image.
