The "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" in Control Panel (for both Windows 10 and Windows 11) creates an image backup that can be restored to a completely blank drive (as long as you have a Windows boot disk to perform the restore).

But, if you want to restore individual files, just browse to the backup location, right click on the .VHDX file and select "Mount". It will mount the image as a drive, and you can then find the files you want to restore. It's the best of both worlds.
