Seagate hard drives often come with a backup solution, Seagate Dashboard, but it may not work as expected in certain situations, leading to issues such as Seagate free agent backup not working or Seagate Dashboard not compatible with Windows 10. Additionally, users may encounter problems creating a backup for their Seagate external hard drive using Windows 10's built-in backup feature due to the disk not being recognized. To overcome these challenges, some users opt for a reliable Seagate backup software that enables them to successfully perform Seagate hard drive backup.

Step 1. On the "Backup and recovery" page, choose "Disk/Partition" to create a backup image of your Seagate hard drive data.
Step 2. Choose the Seagate hard disk with the desired partitions from your computer. If there are multiple partitions, select only the necessary ones.
