IF what you really want is a driver backup you can use to restore drivers, then you do not want to do a full image backup -- as that will restore the state of the PC.
Here's a thread that shows how to do this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/68426-backup-restore-device-drivers-windows-10-a.html
Good Luck

Please use tool from Windows

I use a different way: I clone my machines every 3 months or when having an important change/add. I simply swap out the HDD or SSD when required and create a fresh clone.
