    They are unnecessary. Just use this command to make an image:

    wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:X: -include:C: -AllCritical -quiet
    You can also use the System Image Backup button in the bottom left of file history.

    That is how I always did my back up images before. For some reason the last image I did of my 8.1 did not work. That's why I'm going with AOMEI now. The interface looks good, and it works great. For a free program it works like a paid one.

    Never use that on Win 10. That is very unreliable.

    Right, that's the problem with Windows imaging - you never know whether the recovery will work. At one time we had so many cases of broken Windows imaging that I wrote a tutorial on how to recover from a broken Windows image. Those people were in a bad spot because they thought that they were covered with the images. They needed some help.

    To be honest I haven't tried it on 10 but it was OK for me on 8. My VSS is bust at the moment so I can't make a restore point, recimg or backup at the moment. Just waiting for next build and then hopefully I can try.

    Check your VSS with these commands

    vssadmin list providers

    The Provider type should be system

    vssadmin list writers

    All modules should be stable

    Thanks - they are all OK. I've just messed up permissions for the mslldp.sys driver by incorrectly following this guide to fix VSS CAPI2 error https://social.technet.microsoft.com...w8itprogeneral - there was no problem before. I'm not authorized to reset permissions but I'll do a clean install soon anyway.

    I downloaded the Beta version as mentioned above, I have tried to create a USB Bootable PE media but the program locks up at 10%, nothing happens!
