For just one computer? I would rather do periodic backups to a NAS or HDD; although the restore is slower.

Other hypervisors include, Xen Server, KVM + virt-manager, and Hyper-v.

Ive played with KVM, and it seems nice. Its also one of the few ones that let you pass though many types of hardware to the guest without paying for that functionality.

Any more insight as to your end goal? If it is for just in case your system ever crashes, the overhead of running a hypervisor is not worth it. Not to mention if you're talking about passthrough in ESXi it isn't necessarily as simple as just restore snapshot and you're fine.

If you're just wanting to have the ability to restore a PC that crashes, system restore would have you covered. If you need something more intense, you can (in Windows 7 and 10) create a system image. It would be a whole lot easier...
