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-...

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.
