    In Windows 11, how do I schedule regular system image backups?


    Windows 11 seems to be missing the ability to SCHEDULE a regular system image backup using the old Win7 backup and restore system option when that is all you want to do.In Windows 10, you *can* schedule just an image backup, but that option seems to be missing in Win 11.So... for my friend's computer with Win 11, how can I schedule a once-a-week system image backup and nothing else?Thanks,Edgar

    How To Schedule Windows System Image Backup

    Became intrigued with WBadmin and found the attached link. While it is a step-by-step for Windows 8.1, it works with Windows 10 Build 10061. Was able to mount the image and did a restore. Thanks for sharing*Biggrin.

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.

    In Windows 11, how do I schedule regular system image backups?

    Windows 10 System Image Backup Suggested Features

    Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

    SUGGESTED CHANGES:

    [Balance User Friendly implementation with RESOURCE USAGE, so that Backup and Restore doesn't become a RESOURSE HOG].

    1. Eliminate ALL references to "Windows 7".

    2. To the extent necessary, MANAGE "Windows Defender" and "File History" to PREVENT INTERFERENCE during SYSTEM IMAGE BACKUP.

    3. Warn user to suspend 3rd Party Product SCANNING during Windows System Image Backup (ie: McAfee Anti-Virus Real-Time Scanning and Scheduled Scan ).

    4. Show CURRENT FREE SPACE on selected Backup Location [ie: Iomega (FIn Windows 11, how do I schedule regular system image backups? :)].

    5. SHOW DETAILS should Expand current page, not create a new page.

    6. SHOW DETAILS suggested FEATURES:

    6a. Overall Completion Percent

    6b. List of completed Activities

    6c. Completion Percent of Current In-Process Activity

    6d. List of Activities not yet started

    I invite the Microsoft Community to comment on and add to this post to help improve the Windows 10 Backup and Restore Feature.
