Windows 10: Has anyone use the free Image backup . can they backup Window 10 Pro

Discus and support Has anyone use the free Image backup . can they backup Window 10 Pro in Windows 10 Backup and Restore to solve the problem; When I need this to work, it will ask for the external back up drive ?

    Can't post screenshot, but there's an option to browse for backup image to restore, very similar to File Explorer. Just browse for it and click.

    Never tried it in that sequence because my EXT drives are always connected. Can't remember if there's a refresh button or not. You can try it that way, if it doesn't see it, reboot to Macrium after you connect the drive.

  5. Hmm, I thought it was not safe to have your back up drive connected all the time, so nothing
    could attack it.

    I have other stuff on them also. I do eject them and disconnect doing a new build.

    That is correct. I disconnect my backup drives when they are not in use.

    Getting an external drive attacked by malware is a long shot. But you never know. It is better to be prudent.

    Don't forget, although the boot option is very useful, you still need aa boot drive in case hard drive fails or OS gets badly corrupted.

    Also, if you ever rebuild the boot sectors, you usually have to reinstate the menu option.

    Ironically, the Macrium 'fix windows boot problems' does not recognise its own boot option and wipes it - LOL!

    Macrium Reflect Free also allows saving and restoring images to/from Network Attached Storage. That's where my main backups are. But it is limited to wired ethernet connection.
