Attempting to create a system image on my portable WD My Passport 4TB (which I have done easily a number of times before) the process stopped just as it was starting with the error message:
“An error occurred while writing to the backup target (0 x 80780179)”
This happened again on my second attempt. Not sure what it means or what might be done to fix it, and don’t find anyone having this problem.
I use Windows 10 and have been using the Control Panel link in Windows 10 to make system images using Windows 7.
