Do I need both (pcname)-PC and WindowsImageBackup files to restore?

[guineaman]

Hi,

Windows backup created two massive directories:

(One Folder "WindowsImageBackup" 800gb and one runable thing called "MIKE-PC" 600gb

Do I need these both to restore, or is one an image and one a local restore program?

Thanks
Michael.

WOW, they are certainly huge backups!

Have you got a lot of videos, music or pictures on your HDD?

Hi , Yes I do, but its all on a 1TB HDD. Do I need both those files to restore then? Or are they two different types of the same backup?

If I need both just confused that they are bigger than the entire C drive together.

Hi guineaman,

... just confused that they are bigger than the entire C drive together.

What parameters did you include in the backup?
Is the backup created using Windows backup?

Disk Management

Can you post a screenshot of the Disk Management please => Click Start => right-click Computer => click Manage => click Disk Management.

Yep Windows Backup, I asked it to create Image.
