Thanks Brian, found the system image file process to be flaky, don't really like windows backup either, I way prefer Free File Sync, been using it for nearly 20 years, hasn't let me down and the file structure it creates makes it so easy to recover data.
i have never trusted windows to back up my P.C. not since i needed to restore from a backup when on windows 7 and it would not restore from the back up, just said it was not a valid back up.
Hello, can you do a video for Windows 11/10 triple-boot (w11h, w10h, w11pro) or dual-boot (w11pro4ws, w10pro4ws), PCs, how dealing with backups, updates of OS....? For Backups i have a HDD for data, and backup only this... for updates, the OS have to be the default boot OS to upgrade...
What would help alot is if Microsoft would create a program that monitors changes caused by updates while they are working on the update. That way they can find the problems the updates will cause an fix them before they ever issue the update. Gets old having something that worked fine not work right after an update. Microsoft ineptness is probably 50%of what creates the need for a good back up.
you probably have the resolution set to auto. click the gear cog on the video and select 1080p some times the auto option doesn't select the highest resolution your pc is caable of.

@@Britec09 it was in auto, but you are right, it was that... I changed it to 720 and I can see now... Thanks
Sorry for going off topic, but can you tell me why RUclips is so adamant that i turn on my watch history? It just blocked a short video from a golf channel that i subscribe to because my watch history is off. After watching this video and liking it, when i clicked back to watch something else, it popped up a full screen to remind me that my watch history is off. Sorry for being off-topic, but I don't know who else to ask. This happens to any video.
If i have multiple partitions on the same drive and if i choose to backup just the C:\ partition with my system on it, when i will restore my C:\ partition the other partitions will be deleted from the drive or the other partitions from the drive wouldn' be erased and i will still have all my files from those partitions untouched? Thanks!
I don't think you should have glossed over the "Create System Repair Disk" option. Many modern PCs do not have a DVD drive, and this is the ONLY choice you get with this option. No doubt this was different back in the Windows 7 days. So what do us folks with new kit do ?
@@Britec09 can you link me to that video? I searched for "system repair disc" on your channel and couldn't find a video talking about it.. the title must be called something else, but idk what it is.
Not if you're watching for the first time. Yes in general every 6 months or so he repeats a topic but often things have changed. However, you don't have to watch if you've seen it before!
Microsoft recommends using a third-party tool instead of the built-in (windows 7) It's not reliable and outdated kinda of MS give up on it or something!

Thanks for mentioning "Free File Sync"! I'm looking for something to replace Macrium Reflect (free edition) so I'll have to check this out!
I use the Western Digital Acronis tool kit. Never had it fail to recover or restore files.

I don't use it
Robocopy is my all time favorite… 👍🏻 Reliable, fast and wholly customizable.
So which backup solution for WIN11 Pro would you suggest?@@Britec09
Great video! For whatever reason, I thought this wasn't in Windows 11 but I'm glad it still is! Thanks for posting!
it is always a good idea to backup files as regularly as possible

Thanks and keep these tips and tutorials coming!
You got it!
@@Britec09 You always do a good job an we may not always agree but i know if i have an issue i can always find help on your channel!
the blurr makes very hard to follow your instructions this time around...
The blur? maybe its your internet or you have resolution to low

I have tried backing up windows 11 in the past and have now given up as it doesn't restore saying I have a 3rd party antivirus. What good is that?
That new Windows 11 backup is connected to Microsoft's OneDrive. It will back to your OneDrive account
Microsoft deprecated the File Back up which is why it was removed from the Settings app

How can i transfer virus updates from old P..C to a new P.C. ?
Sorry, I cannot read black dark mode screens. The text is almost invisible. The world uses light mode for a reason.
first thing.... you dont say how to get to the back up page ?
Will these backups also try to backup OneDrive folders?
You have a exclude option to exclude folders you don't want backed up
Why would anyone back up with the old Windows 7 image backup utility? There are much better free utilities available.
I don't use it, but its a tutorial for people who do want to use it.
@@Britec09 I haven't used this since Windows 7 so I don't remember much about it. Does it have a verify option when the backup is made?
@@Britec09 what is a better alternative to use for backups other than the windows 7 one? Cheers
Doest it Back up Windows 11 Operating System

I didn't gloss over it, made videos on the subject and also said how important it is to create one.
