In [[computing]], a '''system image''' is a copy of the entire [[State (computer science)|state]] of a [[computer system]] stored in some [[Secondary storage|non-volatile]] form such as a [[Computer file|file]]. A system is said to be capable of using system images if it can be shut down and later restored to exactly the same state. In such cases, system images can be used for [[backup]].
