Windows also has that "I don't feel like it" detection. So many ways that it looks and decides to not sync data, for no reason.
Sadly, this is so true.

That makes me wonder why they're not replacing folder redirection using offline files with OneDrive instead.
If you manually change your user folders to a one drive locaiton windows will tell you it cannot undo it also.
oh that sucks!

Well if that is your choice of user file sync solutions, that is not a problem.

I use Clonezilla to create my images. But you could setup a Fog server if you wanted.

WDS is what we use. We're looking to move over the SCCM and MDT thought.

To throw a wrench into this conversation.
UrBackup is a backup solution that can be run constantly and allows you to restore the backup or any part of it to different hardware.
So while it falls in the "Backup" category it also blurs the lines a bit.

Most modern backup solutions can do this.

Yup, imaging is the process of recreating replicas which are the most common foundation of modern backups.
