    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Can't create a Restore flash backup in Win 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help resolve the issue.

    As per the information that you have provided, I suggest that you perform Power Drain and restart the backup process and check if you get the same error.

    To perform Power Drain and check if you are able to create the backup. To do so follow the steps below:

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

    Hope this helps
