... Read more私がWindows 11で「外付けHDDにバックアップ」を始めたきっかけは、更新後にアプリが起動しなくなったことでした。ファイルのコピーだけだと復旧が間に合わないので、今は“システムもファイルも丸ごと”戻せるシステムイメージを外付けHDDに作っています。 ■外付けHDDにバックアップする前に確認したこと ・容量:Cドライブの使用量より余裕を持って(使用量の1.5〜2倍あると安心) ・形式:初回はWindowsで認識されているか確認(エクスプローラーに表示されるか) ・接続:できればUSB直挿し(ハブ経由だと途中で切れて失敗したことがあります) ■Windows 11のバックアップ方法(ざっくり2択) 1) 「バックアップと復元(Windows 7)」系:システムイメージ作成で“丸ごと復元”向き 2) バックアップソフト:スケジュール実行や差分バックアップがやりやすい 私は更新・設定変更の前後は必ずシステムイメージを1つ作り、普段はファイル同期(ドキュメント等)も併用しています。 ■システムイメージを外付けHDDに作るときのコツ ・保存先は外付けHDD直下に専用フォルダを作って分かりやすく ・完了後に「復元手順を実際に開いて確認」までやる(作っただけで安心しない) ・可能なら“起動用USB(回復ドライブ)”も用意。PCが起動しない時に復元へ進めます ■「バックアップが進まない/終わらない」時に私が試した対処 ・外付けHDDの接続ポートを変更(USB3.0→別ポート) ・セキュリティソフトの一時停止(スキャンが干渉する場合がありました) ・空き容量の再確認(圧縮されても想定より増えることがあります) ・他の大きい処理(Windows Update、OneDrive同期、動画書き出し)を止めてから再実行 それでもダメな時は、バックアップ先を別の外付けHDDに変えると通ったケースもありました。 ■復元(システムイメージ)でつまずきやすい点 ・復元すると基本的にCドライブは上書きになるので、直前に必要データを別途退避 ・BitLockerを使っている場合は回復キーの準備 ・復元後にWindows Updateが再度走ることがあるので、復元ポイントのタイミングも意識 最後に、ライセンスコード系の検索(例:特定ソフトのコード)を見かけますが、私は公式ページや正規の案内から入手するのが安全だと感じました。バックアップは“今すぐ守ろう”の気持ちで、更新・アップグレード前に1回作っておくと本当に安心です。
