No - just the backups.

Thanks - I'll give it a look.  Have you done a whole image recovery with it?

Hi Rocky,



Try EASEUS.  I haven't tried making an image but for backups on W10 it works well.

Subject: [dba-Tech] System Image Failure



Dear List(s):



Per advice from MS on W10 (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Backup and Restore (Windows 7)) I decided to do the system image and system repair disk. (Why it says Windows 7 when I am running Windows 10 is another mystery).  But it seems like having a system image file on an external HD or DVD would be a good thing in case of a catastrophic failure of the SSD - my primary C drive.



Creating the repair disk went fine, but I got a message from Image:



The Backup Failed. There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy.etc.  (0x80780119)  I checked my backup drive - nope - nearly a TB available.  So I went to the internets and found this:



http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/fix-the-0x80780119-error
-when-creating-a-system-image-in-windows-7-and-8/



which also shows a suitable for framing picture of my error message. There follows an explanation that is such a rabbit hole that, in spite of my best intentions to create a system image) I'm inclined to just keep using Norton Ghost - which has been very effective and reliable for many years, instead of trying to figure out how to repartition my SSD.



I'm trying to create a system image of the C drive.



My Disk 1 (disk 0 is the old rotator which I use for data storage, disk 1 is the SSD)  partitions are 1) System Reserved 100MB 14% free, 2) Recovery Partition 449MB 100% free, and C: 223BG NTFD 34% free.



Any advice on how to proceed here or an alternate backup system that would be SIMPLE (legitimate advice includes walk away from the computer and take a nice long bike ride down by the ocean)?
