Win 10 backup help

I'm trying to use the windows 7 backup that's now built into windows 10 to create an image on my NAS. It keeps failing with an unspecified error. Event viewer shows the following error:

AddLegacyDriverFiles: Unable to back up image of binary Microsoft Link-Layer Discovery Protocol.

A google search points to a permissions problem with the windows folder - giving full access to everyone doesn't seem to work. This worked just fine in windows 7, and I even loaded up an old win 7 image and it worked fine. I've re-clean installed win 10 to no avail.

What's even stranger is that it works fine if I set the target location onto a second local HDD - but not when I point it to the NAS. Frustrating.

Anyone having any luck with win 10 disk images? Any ideas on something to try? Recommend a backup/imaging tool that'll work well with win 10? I like having incremental backups with a couple of system images - and that all just happening per a scheduled task...

Thanks,

Thanks for the recommendation Shookfree. Macrium has a lot of features for free software. Most of my experience was with Acronis and Ghost, and this is pretty darn good. The only thing it's missing that I could ask for is incrementals - but that's not really necessary anyway. (it's in the paid version for those that are wondering) Macrium is working great on Win10 64 pro, whereas the Microsoft backup software is just plain buggy on Win 10.

Thanks!
 
Using Acronis and have "needed" to restore several times in Win 10 with Acronis and all of them have worked perfectly. I do, however, keep my images local and I don't NAS them. So bear that in mind.
 
Check out EaseUS Todo Backup.... its free for non commercial use. And includes everything Acronis offered, and has incrementals for free.
