Thanks for the suggestion! 'something' worked last night. I added /scan /sdclean and some other options I found from chkdsk /?. Then, after windows finished booting, I 'shut down'. I think before I had been 'restarting' into my USB key. Not sure what fixed it, but my e: drive suddenly became clean and I was able to do the backup.

I'm trying to backup a Win10 machine with two drives: 500GB M.2 system (C:) drive and a mechanical 2TB data drive (E:). Backup of the C: completes without issue but ntfsclone complains about the E: drive saying "The NTFS in this partition is corrupted". It recommends I go into Windows and runk chkdsk /f which I have done several times, but windows does not find any NTFS issues. Thinks I've tried: chkdsk /f chkdsk /r disabled fast boot ntfsfix * rebooting several (3-4) times in a row Any ideas? patrclone...
