The drive is not corrupt. I have bypassed selecting libraries and simply selected my user directory and deselected my downloads directory.

Windows Backup skipped C:\Users\sam\ because is it on corrupted drive C:\. Windows Backup skipped C:\Users\sam\Downloads\ because is it on corrupted drive C:\.

Well the thing is that applications put locks on files. And the Ntuser.dat is very well locked, you can't copy is when is in use, so try to avoid your user profile or the user profile that is loaded or is doing the backup. Try to do a backup with NT authority or one of those services. Or just avoid your user profile, or only select the folders like desktop picture adn documents, don select the entire user.

Hi, First, I would like to know if there is any error code received when trying to run backup. I suggest going to check the disk for errors to check the issue.
