Can I create multiple system images on a single external drive?
"How to Create a System Image in Windows 8 and 8.1" at System Image - Create in Windows 8
includes the following approach for create multiple system images on a single external drive. Will this approach work in Windows 10?
==========================================
METHOD TWO:
1. Navigate to the backup location above for where you saved a system image that you want to keep before creating a new system image.
2. Right click, or press and hold, on the WindowsImageBackup folder, and click/tap on Rename.
3. Rename it to something like WindowsImageBackup-Copy-1, press Enter, and click//tap on Yes if prompted by UAC.
NOTE: This way you can just easily change the 1 an the end of the name to 2, 3, 4, etc... for each new system image that you make a copy of.
4. You now have a different system image version that you can leave at this location to be able to keep multiple versions.
NOTE: When you want to restore a system image in a renamed WindowsImageBackup-Copy-1 folder in the future, then you must rename the current WindowsImageBackup folder first, then rename the WindowsImageBackup-Copy-1 folder back to WindowsImageBackup in order to be able to restore it. The WindowsImageBackup folder must be in the root directory of the drive, and not within another folder.
