Windows 10: system image & files backup stopped working

I have been getting a code error ox8007000E when I try to back up to an external hard drive. All tabs are disabled in Windows 10 back up window. There is plenty of room on the external hard drive and I am able to save other files to it, so it cannot be the problem, it must be a system error, can you help please?

[HELP]Image recovery issues

Guys i am trying to fix my cousins Asus Eee netbook. It has a backup image file that is partitioned on the hard drive but when I go to use it the app will run through a few steps and stop. It is running Vista . Any suggestions?

 

System images and backups.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per your query, I like to inform you that; if a copy of C drive on any external storage media/system partition cannot be used for system recovery purposes. You need to create System image backup using File history.

To create system image on Windows 10 follow the below methods.

• 
  Type File history in the search area on the taskbar and select File history.
  
• 
  Click on System image backup on the left bottom corner of the Window file history Window.
  
• 
  Click on Create System Image on the left panel of the System Image backup windows.
  
• 
  Select the driver, where you want to Create system Image.
  
• 
  Follow on screen instruction.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Windows 10 backup - Data file backup vs System image

fwiw

SystemImageBackup folder if I recall correctly here, it only has the System Images.

On my computer the Backup file history used to go to a folder named either mike or the computer name of T520.

Your question about deleting files, I'd have no problem deleting them - probably no use to you anyways. The System Images contain everything they contain & you can browse inside the system images and copy files that you may need someday.

Microsoft suggests you stop using the old control panels windows 7 backup method.
