    (Sorry-but I gotta turn Flame On!)

    OMG, the more I play around with trying to do simple sys-admin tasks on this questionable 'upgrade' to microsoft's premier O/S the more disappointed I am (I'm preaching to the MS Choir, right).  Is the Windows Server 2019 as bad? The default behavior of this new 'File History' method of a built-in system backup wants to save just your C:\Users\ file structures ??  Who just stores valuable working office and productivity file in C:\Users\ ? So MS is moving even more towards requiring paid apps (like the monetized bloody smart phone world) approach to get full functionality out of their new improved O/S.  Besides the raft of networking problems which I've struggled with for two or three days after deciding to take the plunge and make the switch from a good 'ole stable Win 7 Pro environment to installing Win 10 Enterprise on a nice fresh SSD, I find so many deprecations of previous functions and methods (e.g. MS's mandate to Drive Map all of your shared folders, don't believe they can implement a secure File Explorer -> Network category to be able view all your drives at drive root level !!!) and now I find Win 7 style System Backup and Restore replaced with Win 10 'File History' where I have to add each and every folder I want backed up?  WTF's going on in Redmond.  I don't suppose implementing an efficient filter for only flagging Delta Changes for backups would even be on the distant galaxy radar for MS, right?

    File History does not work.  I found a fix which involved turning OFF System protection and turning it back on.  WARNING:  This will delete all your restore points..   After turning Systerm Protection back on, create a restore point and you will have File History back.  The problem for this fix is if you create another restore point, it breaks file history again!!   Why would Microsoft remove this feature?  And another thing is DISM runs every day and it seems to be trying to fix The File History, but it can't find a system image to fix it.   This issue started after the October Windows Update.  

    Oh what I mean about file history, is the the files that used to be kept on the C: disk in the Recovery Partition, like windows 7 used.   Please, stop changing versions and put out a  SP1 (Service Pack)

    How are you starting the system image - somehow in File History (which I've never done) - or this way...?...

    "START, Settings, Update & Security, Backup, Go to Backup & Restore (Win 7), Create a system image".

    Same here on 2 different computers, one with an internal HDD for backup purposes, the other with an external one.

    Backup stops with error code 0x80070013 on both machines at every try.

    Neither of the dedicated backup drives is write protected.

    Very frustrating, since everything was working flawlessly before the latest update (1809, 17763.1).

    Please fix this sooner than later.

    Cheers

    Francois

    Though the System Image backup feature is deprecated, but the error code hints your drive has an issue

    0x00000013

    ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT

    The media is write-protected.
