Live backup Windows 10 Home

Post by KamikazeePL »

What command should I use to backup live system?
1.

Code: Select all

D:\wimlib>wimcapture.cmd C: d:\dyskc2.wim --compress=fast --config=conf.ini --threads=8 --snapshot --boot
Scanning "C:"
6992 MiB scanned (19311 files, 2466 directories)
Using XPRESS compression with 8 threads
Archiving file data: 6438 MiB of 6438 MiB (100%) done
But when I start this command

Code: Select all

D:\wimlib>wimcapture.cmd C:\ d:\dyskc.wim --compress=fast --config=conf.ini --threads=32 --snapshot --boot
Scanning "C:\"
Excluding "\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy26\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpcache-93BA8A541875EC2526F25BFE5622B455F4E1F19D.bin.79" from capture

C:\ if you want the whole volume. This is just how paths work on Windows.
