Windows 10: How to restore from Windowsimagebackup folder created on external HDD?

I have taken a backup from my windows 10 laptop and and am trying to setup that backup on my new windows 11 laptop using the WindowsImageBackup folder which was created on my External HDD. I have used the method from the below link. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-make-full-backup-windows-10When I reach the point of system recovery option from the advanced options under troubleshoot. It shows the below. https://ibb.co/f0NfCC3 image attached I am searching the whole internet. Could somebody help me out?

:)

 

Win 10 WindowsImageBackup sub folder seems to have the incorrect time

Win 10 Home

Version 1703 with all available updates applied.

Control Panel \ Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

I have always thought the following represents the WindowsImageBackup folder structure.

WindowsImageBackup folder Structure (starting from root of drive)

• WindowsImageBackup
  • [Computer name]
    • Backup [date and time of backup]
      • A bunch of XML files
      • A bunch of .vhdx files
    • Catalog
      • BackupGlobalCatalog
      • GlobalCatalog
    • Logs
      • At least one .log file
    • SPPMetadataCache
      • At least one file with random letter/number combinations, separated by dashes, surrounded by {}’s
    • MediaId file

In my case first sub folder (above) is not indicating any time that makes sense to me.

It DOES contain the correct date.

But not the time.

I created a new WindowsImageBackup folder structure earlier today at 3:00 pm Central.

But my folder ended up named "Backup 2017-08-21 195346"

Anyone know what the "195346" means ?

BTW, the date, time and zone are set correctly.

I'm so confused.

 

Copy/Clone of HDD used for Windows Backups

cereberus & SIW2
Using File Explorer- Copy I can copy the three files/folders (C-DESKTOP, WindowsImageBackup, and MediaID.bin) from my backup external HDD to another external HDD. When I open WindowsImageBackup folder on the copy external HDD all the backedup files are there.

The problem I run into is - when I disconnect my backup HDD (you must do this or get incorrect results) and do a System Image Restore; Windows System Image Restore from the copy only lists the one system image (the latest system image) and does not list the other system images that I know are on the drive.

It does not matter if I use File Explorer to copy or if I clone the backup HDD with Macrium Reflect. I get the same result, when I try to restore system images from the copy - only the latest system image is shown.

If anyone knows a way to copy a backup HDD and then have Windows System Restore list all of the system images from the copy, I would be interested in knowing what the trick is.

Or, to state the problem in another way, does anyone know of a way to make a backup of their backup HDD?
