This is SO fast that there is no need to go outside of Windows 10 built-in backup utility "sdclt" from Run prompt.You WON'T NEED incrementals. You can back everything up full and trash the previous backups. It's THAT FAST.Quite simple;Get a 12Gbps SAS-capable storage controller installed in your PC. I have a Broadcom/Avago/LSI MR-9361-8i MegaRaid controller.Get a 12Gbps SAS drive for your backup drive. Install it in your system with a caddy or similar. You'll need the appropriate cable from your storage controller, Mine is a SFF-8643SAS/SATA controller end to SFF-8482SAS driv

System images and backups.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per your query, I like to inform you that; if a copy of C drive on any external storage media/system partition cannot be used for system recovery purposes. You need to create System image backup using File history.

To create system image on Windows 10 follow the below methods.

• 
  Type File history in the search area on the taskbar and select File history.
  
• 
  Click on System image backup on the left bottom corner of the Window file history Window.
  
• 
  Click on Create System Image on the left panel of the System Image backup windows.
  
• 
  Select the driver, where you want to Create system Image.
  
• 
  Follow on screen instruction.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

Windows 10 backup - Data file backup vs System image

fwiw

SystemImageBackup folder if I recall correctly here, it only has the System Images.

On my computer the Backup file history used to go to a folder named either mike or the computer name of T520.

Your question about deleting files, I'd have no problem deleting them - probably no use to you anyways. The System Images contain everything they contain & you can browse inside the system images and copy files that you may need someday.

Microsoft suggests you stop using the old control panels windows 7 backup method.
