Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

So you want a system image without the system and just the user data.
Then why not just backup the userdata?
You mean userdata folder I assume, there is data every where like program-file, program-data, windows folder it self, windows customization
Would also need a way to restore this data
You want to use the Windows Iso as a Reference? That is like 5 GB of data. Why do you want to have such an incomplete Backup to save just 5 GB?
I am OK with 5GB data tell me how to have incremental backups of the windows image ?
