Window 10 access is denied

You are welcome. Enjoy.

Thank you, Greg,

I will go on those links, and I will look at them.

Thank you, PCR, also.

I do not know where you both are but if you are from where I am enjoy the three days of Labor Day holiday.

I will take up this project after Monday.

I'll watch with interest as you & Greg work it out. I have a much simpler setup & Windows's own Backup & Restore is what I know best. You're in better hands with Greg for your complexities.

Kosta -

Aoemi is fine but you don't have to pay for cloning software as the best is available free and covered in my Clean Install tutorial.

I recommend free Macrium Reflect, which is the choice of all experts because it is flexible and just works. More here on how to image or clone:

It will guide you which partitions (like EFI System, MRI, C and Recovery) need to be included, and allow you to resize these on the fly with a Drive Tools link that will appear below each selected partition when you highlight it, after dragging it from source disk to the target disk in the app.

After cloning or imaging, unplug the source drive to see if it will start on its own. If your image or clone doesn't start then use the bootable media it will create for you when you first install Macrium to run it's excellent Boot Corrector which will fix most startup issues:

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions.

I found what I think is going to work for my backup skim from AOMEI.

This will work, I think.

Buy two hard drives equal the size to the C: drive in your PC.

1. Clone drive C: at frequently intervals (this software (AOMEI) that I am looking for dose it only manually) using external USB docking device like the one I have from ORICO. By the way ORICO will clone a hard drive without using you PC just putt both drives in the docking station and will do it for you.
2. Use another hard drive to incremental backup the data files form C: drive this can be scheduled with this software

If you C: HD crushes, then just swap the hard drives and theoretically you should be up and running without trying to be restored from a backup and if you have too you can always recover the data files from the other hard drive that you are already doing the incremental backups.

Little bit over killed but I think will work.

I wish someone comes up with something like that sale it as package external device with the software.

Let me what you guys think.
