    Backup saving more than requested


    I have three physical hard drives on my computer. Backup is set to save things to Drive E, a physical disk different from Drive C. Despite changing the settings to include only my personal folder and Drive C, backup continues to back up physical Drive D (the box for that is UNchecked). I have tried a system repair and it still backs up the unwanted drive data. I couldn't spot anyone with a similar problem when I did a search. Anybody else seen this and know a fix or know better search terms to use to get to the fix? Running Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

    :)

    New computer, New installation of windows: Backup failure.

    Saving to a network drive that has well more than enough space available,

    I set up the scheduled backup and in order to save the settings, I am forced to do a backup right then and there (How bizarre is that?) The process creates the folders , rings up about 8M of data then reports "The last backup did not complete successfully".
    I click on "More Information", and see a message which refuses to let me copy/paste for this question (How bizarre is that?)

    "There was a failure preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.

    Details: The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk limitation. Virtual Hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse."

    Yep - Macrium is the way to go. I tried windows backup under 8.1, I could never recover my system with one of MS backups. Don't look back "Macrium Reflect" !

    Backup saving more than requested

    As...
    I think the question is about backing up individual files and folders. It's not clear if the (optional) 'include a system image' was selected. Though your comments on looking for better alternatives are equally valid for the file backup function.
