Windows XP had a good Backup tool for its day. But then I upgraded to Windows 8, and wasn't impressed to find that my backups couldn't be read, even though Windows XP->8 was a recommended upgrade route.
Then the 'Windows 7 Backup and Restore' got deleted in Windows 8.1. You could still do a System Image but not a more specific Backup.
Then the 'Windows 7 Backup and Restore' tool reappeared again in Windows 10, but, given its history, for how long?
Also I dislike the way this tool insists on making backups in the root folder of a drive.
So given Microsoft's history with backup tools, I have pretty much abandoned their Backup.
