Use a proper hdd backup tool like Acronis TrueImage.

Use one that works right like Macrium Reflect.

TrueImage works fine

 

I have an SAS raid card and the boot image even works fine with that for backing up and restoring. The newer ones (2012 onwards maybe?) support USB 3.0 controllers too.

TrueImage itself works fine.  It's the recovery environment that doesn't.  2011 was the last version where the recovery environment worked right.  It either won't detect USB HDD's or it did but when it actually started recovery from a USB HDD, it would conveniently forget the drive was there, rendering the file inaccessible and thus impossible to restore from.  The drive remains gone until restarting the environment, only to repeat the process.

 

 

I haven't tried the 2014 version, but last year's version did the same thing the past versions did.  So, I don't hold out any hope enough to try a trial and see.

There was a bug with USB drives but they fixed it.

Last year's version's recovery environment still didn't recognize my external USB HDD.

That's probably the one I also came across the same issue with. I updated my build, made a new CD and it worked ok.

 

Any idea on the size of the disk you were attempting to use with it?

[dbminter]

The size of the rescue media disc or the HDD I was attempting to try to load the image file from?

 

 

The HDD is a 3 TB USB 3.0 HDD I have connected to a USB 2.0 port.  The drive is partitioned off into several partitions, using about 2.5 GB of the available space.
