Backup PC from SCCM Task Sequence

[Rob414]

Hi guys,

Trying to use SCCM to create a complete backup of a machine in WinPE at the start of a task sequence. I’ve managed to do this previously with WinXP machines and Configmgr 2007, but now we’ve upgraded to Configmgr 1802 and trying to backup Win10 machines, the same method doesn’t seem to work.

 

I’ve integrated MDT into SCCM and following this guide: which is along the same lines as with WinXP backup.

However, the TS errors our with the following from the ZTIBackup log:

 

About to run command: "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\Servicing\x64\dism.exe" /Capture-Image /CaptureDir:C: /ImageFile:"\\\.wim" /Name:"201905172105CDrive" /Compress:MAX /ConfigFile:"C:\_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\Tools\\wimscript.ini" /ScratchDir:"C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Scratch" ZTIBackup 17/05/2019 21:05:23 0 (0x0000)

ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by ZTIBackup, rc = 2 ZTIBackup 17/05/2019 21:05:24 0 (0x0000)

 

Not sure which file it apparently can’t find, and I’ve confirmed the account does have rights to save to the specified location. So at a bit of a loss. Has anyone seen this before and know how to get around it? Or is there another perhaps better way to create a backup of a PC from TS?

 

Thanks for any help.
