Windows 10: Backup Image failed - 0x80780119 error

I received this error message when trying to create a system image. By back up destination has plenty of free space.






I have read that it has to do with my system reserved partition not having enough free space. The easiest way I can think of is to increase the size of this partition. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? All I want to do is create a back up. *Banghead

a. What tool or what means are you using to create a disk image?
b. Did you note:



c. On what are you trying to save the image? E.g. how big is the disk? And how large is the source data you are imaging?

Let me guess you are using Backup and restore (Windows 7). If so, don't. MS recommends people use a 3rd party solution (such as Macrium Reflect, which is so often mentioned here- the free version is good enough for most).

Unlike Backup and restore (Windows 7), such tools are updated and supported.

 

System Image backup error code 0x80780119

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I now want to do a system image backup to an external hard drive. I have tried several times and several ways with up to a 2 TB external drive for just over 100 GB backup size. I always get the same backup
failed error code 0x80780119, stating that there is not enough free space to create the volume shadow copy.

How can I fix this error, or how can I do a system image backup without including the System Reserved disk?
