  2. Windows 10 System Image Backup Suggested Features

    Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

    SUGGESTED CHANGES:

    [Balance User Friendly implementation with RESOURCE USAGE, so that Backup and Restore doesn't become a RESOURSE HOG].

    1. Eliminate ALL references to "Windows 7".

    2. To the extent necessary, MANAGE "Windows Defender" and "File History" to PREVENT INTERFERENCE during SYSTEM IMAGE BACKUP.

    3. Warn user to suspend 3rd Party Product SCANNING during Windows System Image Backup (ie: McAfee Anti-Virus Real-Time Scanning and Scheduled Scan ).

    4. Show CURRENT FREE SPACE on selected Backup Location [ie: Iomega (FDo window 10 offer a clone image feature for backup system? :)].

    5. SHOW DETAILS should Expand current page, not create a new page.

    6. SHOW DETAILS suggested FEATURES:

    6a. Overall Completion Percent

    6b. List of completed Activities

    6c. Completion Percent of Current In-Process Activity

    6d. List of Activities not yet started

    I invite the Microsoft Community to comment on and add to this post to help improve the Windows 10 Backup and Restore Feature.

    Copy/Clone of HDD used for Windows Backups

    I use a 500 gb external HDD to store Windows backup files and System Images. I do a backup each morning. The 500gb external HDD stays connected to the computer and holds approximately 10 System Images in addition to the file backups


    A few days ago, I used Macrium Reflect (MR) to make a clone of my 500 gb backup HDD. I wanted a backup of the backup to keep in a drawer.


    Unfortunately, if I try to use the MR clone HDD to restore a System Image using Windows, Windows only lists the last System Image instead of the approximately 10 System Images that I know are on the cloned HDD. (Windows appears to be treating the cloned HDD like a network backup - listing only the last System Image).

    I have not used MR to make backups. If I start using MR for backups, will I be able to clone the MR backup HDD and then store it in a drawer. If the answer is yes, will I be able to select System Images off of the clone when I try to use MR to restore a System Image off of the cloned HDD?

    Thanks for any info or suggestions.

    Why on earth did you try to clone a drive that contains image backups?

    The image backups are compressed and all you had to do was to simply copy the backups from one drive to another using file explorer.
