  FYI:

(Previously on NTSYSADM:

  Even after updating to Windows 8.1, the built-in "System Image"
backup would not accept any of the USB flash drives I tried.

  However, after updating to 8.1, an option to backup to a network
location appeared.  If I share the USB flash drive, and target that
share, it seems to work.  No idea if this can actually be restored; I
didn't try.

  I borrowed a USB-attach hard disk drive (with ye ole spinning
platters) from %WORK%, and that worked fine.
