    But that is a backup not a system image, is that not the same thing? My hard drive is making a noise so it is active it just doesnt seem to be moving from that same spot. Very confused

    OK I understand. Run resmon.exe and post a picture of the disk tab. Try to show the disk you are writing to by sorting by file.

    It is writing to it just very slowly. This is what I get with wbengine filtered.

    What sort of external disk are you writing to?

    I'm not really sure what to suggest here. I think I would stop the backup and start it again following the steps in this tuorial.

    Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

    Windows backup can be a bit weird especially if you have multiple images. I personally chose to keep only the latest System Image and to rename old images before the next backup is taken.

    Unless someone else has any ideas.

    It was mentioned earlier that the drive was making a noise. Lets check to see that this noise is not abnormal : run this little utility to check the health of the disks, and post a maximised image of the screen:

    CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World

    Another friendly reminder : get those system specs posted using the tutorial.

    Good point Golden.

    May be worth looking at all the disks involved.
