System State Protection on a Windows 10 machine?
Question
-
Hey Guys
I'm trying to backup a System State for a standard Windows 10 Machine. Unfortunately, I always receive the same error message:
I do have enough Space on the Backup Server and I'm also able to run the Backup locally. While looking up this issue I saw that you need to have Windows Server Backup installed on the machine. Is that true? Does that mean it's not possible to run a System State Backup on a Windows 10 Machine?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards

Hello Gabe,
System State for client computers is not supported, System state / Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) backups are only supported for servers.
You can backup the following on a Windows 10 client:- Volumes
- Dedup volumes
- Shared folders
- Folders
- Files
