How to backup with JUST Windows 10 and settings

Thread needs solution

I want to backup my PC, but backup JUST Windows 10 and settings.

I have many many users on my laptop - I need to backup their settings.

I don't want to backup other things like data and other files.

I want to backup by booting up from DVD.

I've backed up once already but see no options to exclude directories.

What should I do?

Thanks.

Omar, you would need to make a Disk & Partitions backup of your main Windows C: OS drive plus the hidden/system partition on the same, then configure the Exclusions options to exclude the folders containing the data you do not want to include.

One option that you should consider would be to move any large data / file folders to a separate partition or drive to make your backups simpler to do.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure how to exclude as you suggest. I tried but couldn't figure out.

Are there any videos showing how to do?

Thanks.

Omar, I am not aware of any videos on this subject, especially with using boot media for backups but have got some screen shots from a test I did for an offline backup with exclusions set.
