Windows 10: Help disabling System Image Backup

Hi all,

I have my system to automatically backup weekly to our server, and I would like it to create a system image of my C drive and my system reserved drive, but not my X Games drive. It takes almost 12 hours to backup that drive and need help to disable the X drive from my auto system backup, but keep the C drive. Thanks for the help in the meantime.

Conflicting messages with Win 10 system image backup

Hi,

I realize that you are getting conflicting messages with Windows 10 system image backup. I will try to help you with this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
  
• 
  What is the free space available on the external HDD?
  

Unplug the external HDD, restart the computer and then plug in the external HDD to check if that helps with the system image backup.

You may temporarily disable the security software and check if this helps.

Disclaimer: If you have to temporarily disable the antivirus to install other software; you should enable the antivirus as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software
is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to virus attacks.

Suggest you to boot the PC in a clean boot state to check if that helps. A clean boot step will help us determine if any 3rd party service or application is causing this issue.

Help with creating a system image backup

Perhaps in some years there will be software that does it all in one step. But for now those of us that do backups have our system images saved, and we have a rescue USB flash drive or DVD saved that we can boot our computers from in order to restore the backup image that we have saved. And some of us have even combined our rescue USB flash drives and the system image we have saved onto a single hard drive that we can both boot from and has the image on it to restore our system from. It's not a waste of time for us. Step 1 - boot from rescue USB flash drive or DVD. Step 2 - restore the backup image to the new SSD. That's the way even the huge corporations do it - they have backups of the data, and they have separate recovery programs that they have to run when they need to restore the backup. Your issue is that you refuse to create the USB flash drive or DVD used for step 1.

I agree on this one.
