Default W7 system image creation

I'm trying to get some kind of backup system going on that computer,
desired would be the W7 backup images and File History. If I pull
this off, it will be the only computer with any kind of backup system.

Using a bare hard drive in a dock, I tried to create a W7 system
image. There were no other programs running AFAIK (I'm not the only
person who uses the computer), and I started the process at the end of
the day. Before I even left, I got a backup failed message that said:

"Windows Backup failed to get an exclusive lock on the EFI system
partition (ESP). This may happen if another application is using
files on the ESP. Please retry the operation. (0x8078011e)

"Additional information:
"Access is denied. (0x800700015)

Most of the info I found on the web is old, but two things may be the
problem. Permissions, which shouldn't be the problem, and the
anti-virus program.

Anyone else have places I could look?


"I use a computer at work"

Does that means you're on a Domain, the machine is locked
down, you're not a member of Administrator group, or what ?

To make backups, you need to be a member of the Administrator
group, or be a member of the Backup group. The Backup group was
intended as a means to give employees limited privileges, enough
privileges to make a backup.

And this part sounds like a permission problem.

Additional information:
Access is denied. (0x800700015)

Just a guess,

And would anyone have that stupid VM feature
actually turned on, on Avast ? Apparently it
was removed for Windows 10. And how could you run
that, if you also had Hyper-V installed ? I've seen
other strange features designed this way, forgetting
that you cannot have two VM environments running at the
same time.

Maybe something like that would happen, if you had an
old Avast install, and did not allow the executable to
update to get the latest (deleted) features.
