System Image Backup and Repair Disc on same drive

Dear Sirs-

I am running Windows 10 Home Edition on an Acer E5 laptop. I just created a System Image Backup on an external hard drive (Seagate Slim 2 GB). I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate any help!

Upon successful completion of the image backup, I am getting a dialog box asking me if I want to create a system repair disc.

• Should I create the system repair disc?
• If so, do I need to do this every time I create an image backup?
• Can the system repair disc be on the same external hard drive as the system image backup?
• If so, how much space will it require (I want to know if there is enough capacity left on the external hard drive, or how much I'll need on a separate drive)?

Also, when I create the System Image backup, it seems to be taking up a great deal of room on my external drive. It is taking up large chunks, as if it's keeping all of the previous backups instead of replacing them.

• How can I determine what is taking up all of the room on the external drive?
• How can I get the backup to discard some, or all, of the prior backups?

Thank you very much for your help!

Restore system image without system repair disc

Hello.

I've created a system image and was trying to restore it. I did not have a blank disc, so I did not create a system repair disk.

I got into Advanced startup > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Image Recovery

After selecting the system image, the computer asks for a system repair disc, which I do not have.

As far as I know, this used to be the only way to restore a system image without a system repair disc, is it still possible now?

 

cannot create repair disc

Hi,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with creating system repair disc. I will certainly help you with the issue.

To understand the issue better, I would like to know please check if the CD/DVD drive is detecting in Device manager and check for yellow color exclamation mark next to it?

This issue could occur if the media is corrupted, hence you need to replace the media which you are using as some of the media may cause this type of issues while burning. Try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the
issue.

Step 1.

In the search bar, type recdisc.exe and hit
Enter.

Step 2.

• Now press Windows key + X and click
  Control Panel (All Items view), and click on the
  Backup and Restore icon.
• Now click on the Create a System recovery disc link in the left blue pane.
• Insert a blank CD or DVD into your CD/DVD drive and click on the Create disc button.

NOTE: If you are prompted to insert a Windows installation disc, it means that the files needed to create the system repair disc cannot be found on your
computer. Insert a Windows 10 installation disc.

• It will now start creating the System Repair Disc

NOTE: If any Auto Play window pops up, just close it.

• When it's finished, click on the Close button.
• Click on OK.
• Now remove the remove and label your new Windows 10 System Repair Disc from the CD/DVD drive.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.
