Best Bootable backup for Windows Bootcamp on external drive

backup for Windows Bootcamp on an external drive
I have given up getting a fix for no sound coming out of my 2017 iMac speakers, with Windows Bootcamp on an external drive.

I am using a USB device to plug my external speakers in to get sound on Windows Bootcamp.

When they are plugged in they don,t show up on my IMACi when using it on the Mac side have not tried the speakers in the headphone audio socket though.

Is Win-clone the best bootable back up for me using it on Windows Bootcamp on an external drive. ?

I would still like to use Windows Bootcamp with the internal speakers of the IMAC rather than the external ones I am using now.

The Windows 10 built-in back-up feature (named "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)") is basically Microsoft's Time Machine. Don't let the name fool you, it's just as much for Windows 10 as it was for Windows 7. If your 2017 iMac had a T2 chip (or was the iMac Pro), I would caution that you need to inject the T2 drivers into both your restore media as well as your back-up. But since it isn't, I'd say that's probably your better bet if you're going between the same computer.

Unlike Time Machine, you have to explicitly specify that you're backing up the entire C: drive. Otherwise it will only back up whatever data you've been using in your user profile folders.

Windows Boot Camp partition with Winclone
Will this work for a Windows Bootcamp on an external drive?

it's a shame they don,t sell this basic Winclone any more.

I am not well versed on that error. When setting up "Back-up and Restore (Windows 7)", there ought to be an option that lets you manually specify what to back up. That's where you can set the C: drive as being what you want backed up.

I'm pretty sure Winclone will work for that. You'll have additional hurdles if you're backing up the Boot Camp partition of a T2-Mac. But if you're rocking earlier than that, you ought to be fine.

Sad to say it did not work. Block size and sometimes .it said it was missing drivers?
How could it if it is an exact clone?
The drivers thing mentioned about T2. i have a 2017 5k imac.

You'll need to create a separate boot media to restore from that back-up, but there should be an option to do that there that ought to work. It ought to not need any special drivers to function since it's a very basic Windows PE implementation that is facilitating the restore. It's not exactly an exact clone. What you're left with after the restore should be identical to what you had before, but it doesn't make a bootable clone. It makes a clone that you can restore to.

And yeah, not sure how this would've worked if you were on a T2 Mac. My guess is that your options would be a bit more limited than they are now.
