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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

i'm gonna reinstall windows but i don't wanna lose anything. windows only backups the desktop. you can copy appdata folder but my apps all over the place. i don't have space for disk image by the way. is there an app for backing up every personal thing?

Windows has something built in which can pack your system to be installed in the exact way it is on an other system. I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for, but here is the link:
