How can I backup my complete drive C or D
I would like to backup the complete hard drive into just one file.
I am using Windows 10.
I have an 8TB drive in the NAS.
Thanks,
Dave
One way to do this is to use an image backup utility on the PC. I use Acronis TrueImage, with a NAS share as the backup target.
You could also try Windows Backup and Restore. https://kb.netgear.com/24913/How-do-I-back-up-my-Windows-PC-to-a-ReadyNAS-OS-6-system-using-Windows-Backup-and-Restore

For freeware programs, also take a look at EaseUS Todo Backup free or Veeam Endpoint Backup™ FREE.

Thanks for your responce.
I forgot that I had an old copy of Acronis True Image so I updated it.
However, I think the Windows Backup may be the better solution as I could then backup multiple devices to my ReadyNAS at no additional charges.
