Hi all,
Using Win11 Pro on a Dell box. I had set up weekly backups to a WD 2TB Passport external drive. This system has worked well for the better part of a year. But suddenly a couple of months ago, the backup hung up at 97% complete while creating the system image of the C: drive. I've kept this going for hours on end, almost a complete 24hrs. But when the backup had completed in the past, it never took this long. I checked the available space on the drive and there is almost 1TB free. I have deleted several of the weekly backups and also the previous system image of the C: drive on the backup external drive.
If I don't include the system image of the C: drive, the backup will complete.
I'm at a loss to understand the reason for this issue.
I had also tried using the WD backup program that came with the Passport drive. But even after 24hrs, the backup indicated it was only 2% completed.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks,
Vic
