USB drive to backup disk

Thread needs solution

Hi all, I have search and found no info that works on this.

I want to make a USB thumb drive that I can boot to and backup the entire hard drive to a file server (both on my internal network)

the problem I run into is when I try this I get the error that the software is a trial version and this is not supported.

I have both 2015 and 2017 full versions the 2015 is a dvd and it works fine but not from USB the 2017 is digital format down loaded form the web site.

frustrating to say the least.

Arnold,

It sounds like you are attempting to create Universal restore media using TI 2015 rather than the standard Rescue Media.  Have a look at the link below and see it that helps:

Also sounds like you have the boot media download for the TI 2017 version.  Using the download version you need to burn the download ISO to a USB thumb drive for it to work.  To do that outside of the Windows TI application you will need a third paryt tool such as ISO to USB, Rufus, or Win32DiskImager.
