Windows 10: Can I keep my backups on Windows Storage Spaces?

Hi guys,I referred to this already here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-storage-space-vs-backupfilesystemsystem/367cf2c0-87f1-45bf-8e67-7dc724bcef93But since I had no other choice, I'm in fact using my Storage Spaces as a backup-holding volume.Now, since the answers I found there were from 2016, they might be incorrect. In short, the final answer was: it makes absolutely no sense to hold any data in the Storage Spaces, since it's the most fragile and faulty solution that ever existed.Hence, I'll ask simpler: does it make any sense to hold the backups on the Stora

:)

Thank you very much for your reply.


You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.





Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.

Note too the warning in

Storage Space for Windows backup.

I wish to create a backup of my windows 10 Operating System, so that I can restore it in a case of a system failure. I wanted to know how much storage space would be needed for such a backup.

Thanks Robeline

I was going by other advice and articles that suggest that backing up under Update and security/backup is now the way to go. I will try your suggestion.
