    Restore from Windows Image Backup


    I Created an image backup using Windows 10. I burned the repair CD. I booted from cd. Options are most recent backup [but it only shows D:\, the factory backup partition]. No browse capability. Other option does not let me browse to the folder the system created, "F:\WindowsImageBackup". How do I restore from this image instead of the factory image?

    :)

  2. Changing Primary folder (C:\User\****** to another label

    Hi Dennis,

    Disk Image Backup or image-level backup writes the entire contents of the drive to an image file, which is different from individual file backups. If something goes wrong, you can restore the exact previous configuration quickly. Windows 10 includes the
    system image backup feature which can be accessed via Control Panel > Backup and Restore. To restore a Windows 10 system image backup, you can do from recovery environment.

    But if you need additional features there are 3rd party solutions like EaseUS or Acronis.

    Hi,

    What so special about the F:\ drive or partition that WinRe doesn't see it ?

    That said, I wouldn't rely on anything backup from W10 nowadays. They had it working great at one point but lost it over the OS upgrades somehow.
    Waste of time and resourses. I use Macrium Reflect and I'm going to buy it too. They deserve the support. *Wink

    Cheers, *Wink

    Restore from Windows Image Backup

    "...I burned the repair CD. I booted from cd..." p455word
    Backup/restore programs, when booted via DVD or USB, almost never use the drive letters that normal-boot Windows uses. That's why I name my OS and data partitions, and name my external devices. Regardless of what's booted, OS & data partition names remain the same.

    I have never had that problem. I also do place a name on every drive such as Win 10 for C:\ --Backup for my external drive that I use MR to image on.

    Previously, I resized my "(C*Smile Windows" drive down to 200GB from 900GB. That left a second partition, located physically
    between C:\ and "(D:\)Recovery". Although Windows named this partition (F:\), the Pre-install Environment on the Rescue CD sees it as the second partition on the drive, and therefore, calls it (D:\). Will probably work, cause you sound right. I named F:\ as "Backup Files", and it now shows the path as "(D:\) Backup Files". Still technically the wrong path for Windows, but maybe the right path for the recovery program. I'll try it when needed, then use my Macrium image,
    if Windows image balks. Thanks for the input!

    RolandJS was right. Ignore the drive letter that the repair CD assigns. If the date\time stamp on the file is correct,
    it is the right file to use to restore your drive (or partition).
    I tested it. It restored properly!

    Thanx to all who replied to the post!
