This man is a master instructor. Clear enunciation at measured speed, total lack of distracting blah blah and pseudo-jollity ("Hi guys, how are you all today..." etc etc), perfect synchronisation of the spoken tutorial with the on-screen cursor movements and selections. Oh how I wish that other KZbin how-tos were like this. Just one question: if I understood correctly, it is not possible to extract/rescue individual files from an image created in this manner. One can only restore the full image. Is that right ?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

dear sir . Your comment on the video is a reward for me. I am really happy with this comment. I thank you . Regarding your question, you really cannot extract files or folders directly. But if you restore, you will get the system and Windows completely, and certainly the files and folders that were backed up. I hope the answer to your question is understandable to you. Sir, I would like to thank you again💛

Thanks for your video, my C drive has about 80GB in it, how big of the USB should I need ? Thanks 😊

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Dear sir.. I did not understand what you mean by these words. And I did not understand what you want.. What do you mean by that this is not human speech... You may not like this method of explanation, but keep in mind that there are other people who like this method.. Thank you, my good teacher.. and I hoped that your words would be Or your comment is more clear .. Thank you

There is something IMPORTANT missing...When you reboot your computer you need to reboot in recovery mode OR use a recovery USB stick build before AND it must be in the boot order before your hard disk containing windows. You can also specify to boot FROM the usb stick by choosing it on the boot time...Most of the BIOS are using F2 or Delete at boot time...Otherwise you rebooting Windows and nothing else.... Can you change the size and location for partitions such as efi or C: drive if you are cloning...?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

You can change size and location for partitions But why would you want to change it? Note that when you change, you may lose data unless you made a backup copy before this change. Also, when restarting the computer, you need to boot into recovery mode or use a USB drive. I hope that the answer clarifies the information that you are missing. I am waiting for your reply if you have any other questions. Also, thank you for the comment, sir

[@skins6007]

perfect video, thank you. I am not primarily a PC user (iMac). I just want to confirm that in the event I get a newer computer, but want to save all of my programs (and settings within the programs), documents, etc. this process will transfer to my new computer with everything in place before when upgrading to the new computer? please let me know when you can, thank you so much for this great video.

[@DanielKarjala]

Very good instructional video. Now, for something different. I have two client corporate accounts that I no longer want or need. Had to add to access resources and work on their projects, but their accounts and influences have NOT gone away. I was told to reimage my laptop and that will wipe them out. What a hassle. Any affirmation to that? Any other options? I also use an external drive.

[@kumarmotta7500]

i did backup image successfully but when i restore to another computer it shows error like "windows needs to format the drive windows recovery environment is currently running"...tell me solution

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Make sure the Drive C. Make sure the space. The space must be the same disk area during the process of taking the backup version. And if it was less. Divide the hard disk. Try it and tell me what I did. And if the problem is not solved, tell me. If you try it and succeed with me more than once. I will wait your reply

[@thomasguicherd3896]

Thanks a lot for this professional video ! =D

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Thank you for your comment sir, good luck always 🤍🤍👊

[@Peter-James66]

You forgot to mention that after a successful completion of the System Image Backup, the folder on the external hard drive, you saved this to; 'WindowsImageBackup' shows an empty 0 bytes and the user has no viewing access to this folder and thus therefore, has no way of knowing for certain whether in the event of your PC failing, this System Image Backup will restore ones PC to its original state?.

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

How does the user not have access to the backup folder. This folder does not require permission to access it. I hope I understand your comment. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean by your comment. Please explain sir

[@Peter-James66]

@@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED I'm running Windows 11 v.22H2 (OS Build 22621.1194) with all updates running. I can complete this full system image backup with the folder named 'WindowsImageBackup' I'm informed that this backup completed successfully however, no confirmation as on trying to gain access to the folder is impossible without obtaining permissions. The folder requires admin privileges. This is a problem for many users since the updates of Windows 11.

[@AexoeroV]

If i have multiple partitions on the same drive and if i choose to backup just the C:\ partition with my system, when i will restore my system just the C:\ partition will be changed right? The other partitions from the drive wouldn't be erased, i will still have all my files from those partitions untouched?

[@NaiiMii.]

i was wondering if there is a way to make a backup then install new windows then restore the backup to make the pc like it was before, all the chaotic files and folders on desktop stay there. same as ios when you send data to knew iphone

[@ParisRosiee]

Thanks for these instructions! I am stuck however because I did the backup like in your video but I did a factory reset after this and now the computer went back to Windows 10, even though the backup was done in Windows 11. I downloaded Windows 11 on a bootable drive and am following the video. When I get to the troubleshoot options and click on System Image Recovery, I don't get Windows 11 as the target operating system like in the video at 4:53. Only Windows 10 shows for me. Can I still restore my files even though it's Windows 10 now?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Thank you for your comment. But let me ask you why I did a factory reset after doing the backup. Also, did you install Windows 11 on Windows 10? In other words, did you update Windows 10 to install Windows 11? If you did, it is normal to go back to Windows 10 when doing a factory reset. It was necessary to format the C drive and then install Windows 11 Pure. Regarding your files, if the files are on a drive other than the Windows drive, the files will be the same. But if you do a complete format of the hard drive, the files will not be found. And I think you didn't format the hard drive Another question, how did you get Windows 11? Is it an original copy? or version is not supported. Because there are many versions of Windows 11 that are not supported. I will wait for your reply and I will try with you until you find your files. Sorry for the prolongation, but I would like to understand well before taking the next step. Thank you again and sorry sir for the delay in replying.💯

[@Cacheflex]

Hello. Great video. I'm trying to upgrade my laptop's SSD storage because it's full already. I did the backup and the process was straight forward as shown in the video, however, I noticed that the backup file saved in my hard drive is empty (apparently, but it did took storage from the hard drive). My question is, Is this going to prevent me to restore the data when I install the new ssd in my laptop? Thank you

[@marknugent9851]

Can I use this to clone the os to a new M.2 drive so I can boot from the new M.2 instead of the original OS SSD?

its asking to create a windows repair disk, what should i do now? i dont have a cd drive in my laptop.

[@Luggruff]

Does this work if I want to re-install Windows 11 so I can get out of the Canary build, or will I just end up with Canary again?

can i use the first way to upgrade my system from dev to beta chanell?it says it will delete file apps and settings please help

[@corruptedmineral]

will the info still exist in my laptop if i downgrade the window 11 to window 10? also theres like 300 gb of stuff on my laptop, and i got like 50 gb left in it, can i still back up my info?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Yes, you will find all your data. This applies if you keep it on a drive other than your Windows drive. Try and you will find it. Thank you for commenting. And good luck to you

[@ldxv51]

What happens if you cannot find a hard disk? Or do you need a SD card for this?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

How can the hard disk not be found? The hard disk must exist. You can also do this on an external hard drive or on a large SD card. Thank you for commenting

[@RahulBajaj-o2f]

this toll will take installed application backup also?

[@ioangeor6094]

very helpful video... would that restore things like chrome bookmarks as well?

[@orestesdd]

Following your steps in this video, I get the following pop-up fail message: ============================ The backup failed. There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location. Make sure that, for all volumes to be backup up, the minimum required disk space for shadow copy creation is available. This applies to both the backup storage destination and volumes included in the backup. Minimum requirement: For volumes less than 500 Mb, the minimum is 320 Mb of free space. Recommended: At least 1 Gb of free disk space on each volume if volume size is more than 1 Gb (0x80780119) ============================ So how do I fix this issue? Does anyone know? 🤔

Can you use this method to transfer SYstem Image to another PC? Thanks

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Of course you can do that. This is one of the most important uses of backup. Then take the backup copy on an external drive and transfer it to the computer and restore it and it will work with you. Thank you for your comment, and I hope that the response is sufficient to convey the information to you. Good luck to you

When I try to do recover it is keep saying create a petition disk.

[@tainted-fx]

if i do a backup on windows 11 then downgrade to win10 will the restore be win10 or 11 ?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

If you made a backup copy of Windows 11, and returned to Windows 10. The Art of Restoration will be for Windows 11. Because the backup was for Windows 11. Do you understand, sir? I hope the information reached you. Good luck 🤍

😩my options says "not formatted with NTFS" 🥺🥺Seagate slim 1TB

[@kisuke4503]

hey, I'm a bit late but you can fix that if you right click on your external driver in the windows explorer and click "format", then you can change the default (I think it's exFat) by NTFS and do it (note that this will erase all the data stored in) Sorry for the late reply and my possible bad english ^^

[@johnnyz7752]

What you neglected to say, is that any work that you have done and saved on your computer after you created that system image will not be restored. So, if the system image you use to restore from is a month old, you will lose all of the work that you did within that last month.

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

Thank you for your comment and also for drawing my attention to an important point. But I think that every person who backs up anything, for example, must know that this backup copy is a picture of this moment, and any change or addition in the future is not included in the backup copy. Therefore, it is always recommended to take a backup copy every period of time, for example, every 10 days or every month. Thank you again for your comment. And I hope you will subscribe to my channel. I will be very happy to have someone, for example, with me on the channel. And you may find other information useful to you. And you might draw my attention to something else. Thank you sir

[@David-bt6gy]

This doesn't backup your drivers, right?

[@DOITMOSTAFAAHMED]

If you make a full backup. All your drivers will be present with the backup copy. And you can back up just the drivers in a very easy way. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJClq5drg9tkaMU It enables you to back up the drivers for the connected devices on your computer.

[@David-bt6gy]

@DO IT / mostafa ahmed Oh, i don't want to backup the drivers
