Hi RaselahmedIT,

Thanks for your post.

Please understand that the Backup function in control panel is used for restoring the current computer when it corrupts some time. It cannot be used for other computers as a package image, just applied the system itself. Also, Windows has then related product for creating a package image and using for other deployment, which named MDT. You can refer the following article for MDT deployment.

Prepare for deployment with MDT
