Some links on making a Windows 10 image backup to a network share and restoring from it
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/24
Earlier this month, I posted How to make a full backup of your Windows 10 PC | Windows Central.
That solution describes how to backup to and restore from a (different) local drive using the Windows 7/8.x tools ([Wayback] “Create a system image”) that still ship with Windows 10.
Soon, I need to be able to store a backup on a network location (and restore from it), so here are some links that hopefully solve this with the same tools (all via [Wayback] windows 10 restore image from network folder – Google Search):
- [Wayback] Win 10 Image Restore from Network Location – Microsoft Community has a lot of tips, including using IPv4 addresses instead of machine names, and restoring from the console with commands like these:
- startnet
- ipconfig
- net use
- wbadmin
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Reddit: Help Restoring a Win10 Image from a Shared Network Drive! : windows hints mainly to use
SERVERNAME\usernameto authenticate to the network share as opposed to just ausernameand avoiding bitlocker. Reminder to self: figure out how to do this with bitlocker. - [Wayback] How to Back Up and Restore an Image File of Windows 10 | PCMag
