Hi again,
Yup, Microsoft Backup or Windows Backup has never done it for me since the inclusion of the initial built-in Windows Backup program back in Windows3.1 over 20 years ago. It's never been their strong suit. So you are telling me nothing I don't already know. Most of us Techs have experimented with the recommended Image & Clone backup programs for many years here, and we're giving you the benefit of our experience. Take a look at Macrium--you won't be disappointed. In the old days we had to pay $$ for programs like Norton Ghost which rarely if ever worked even in the business environment. Now, you have a super tool like Macrium to use--and it's completely Free!! Well worth the time to learn how to use it. And you'll probably be wanting to send me an Edible Arrangement if your hard drive ever crashes and you have to buy a new one; and pop a new drive in and you can be back and running within a couple of hours! (that does take some practice however!); but it is possible to achieve.
Cheers!
