Backup of David's Google+ Posts

Microsoft's own "Create a System Image" feature doesn't work on my 3TB external Seagate drive, while Acronis/Seagate's DiscWizard does work, as does good 'ol rsync via cygwin.

Windows 7 is over four years old, is still maintained, but still can't make a backup to a drive over 2TB big‽  Seriously, Microsoft?

Microsoft, I want to use the tools bundled with your OS. Wish I could.

For the record, I had the patch for Microsoft Knowledge Base 982018 installed on my Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Even so, "Create a System Image" keeps failing with error (0x8078002A) because of error (0x8007045D). #fail
