Re: Complete PC Backup - why I cannot select G drive?

Hi,

If G: is designated as system, then it cannot be the backup destination. I
am guessing that perhaps you have moved some portion of the user account
folders there?

Besides, at 32GB, it may not be large enough to house the backup when
required overhead is added.
