System Backup
I have 2 servers SY01 and SY02
SY01 broke down
I am now using SY02
I want to do System Backup on SY02
I am using 'Access Winwows 7 Backup and Restore Tool'
Why not directly a tool for Windows 10?
The SY01 is mentioned for backup
I can't find anything to change the information: say the server no longer exists
I use Create a system image on SY02
the structure is well created
but when i look it's always SY01 mentioned

The Windows 7 Backup and Restore tool is still available on Windows 10 for creating complete system images, but it doesn't automatically adapt to hardware or system changes like server replacements.
The backup configuration may be stored in a way that ties it to the original server (SY01). The system image or backup history might be saved to a network location or external drive that was associated with SY01. The Backup and Restore tool doesn't automatically update its references when the server changes.
The reason you're using the Windows 7 tool is that Windows 10 doesn't have a built-in backup tool like the Windows 7 Backup and Restore Tool. Instead, Windows 10 uses the Settings app to manage backups.
On SY02, use the Windows Server Backup feature or a third-party backup tool to create a new system image to replace the old SY01 backup reference.
