I have tried backing up my system image for over 6 times and it always fails.
I want to backup my c:\ drive with all files and installed programs with AppData

You have choices to make. Demand the vendor fix it or use something else.

What most folk do is use anything else.

Hi, You don't say what backup method you are using. There are some good backup tools out there that will create a compressed image of a complete partition or disk, and subsequently allow you to create (smaller) incremental or differential images.
Aomei Backupper is one I've used for a while now and which has proved reliable. It's fairly quick, relatively. But like some it only works easily if the backup destination is at a consistent drive letter. It includes a boot disk.
The free version does all you should need. As ever you can mount and explore images and extract files from them.
But since you asked, it's more than one tool. I use the first since I can backup the image to a folder on most USB/other drives. The second is my incremental system.
1. Clonezilla.
2. Syncback, Goldsync, and/or Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier.

Go to the Easeus web site. They have a free backup program that I've been using about 3 years now that works just fine, and it runs automatically under Windows 8.1 and other versions of Windows as well. They also have a $29 version with a few more features, if the free version isn't enough for you. Like Bob says, most of us avoid the backup program that comes with Windows because it's buggy and every version of Windows has a backup program that's incompatible with the others.
Good luck.
Not sure what you are supposed to be showing at your link, but it shows absolutely nothing that can explain your problem. You really need to tell what software you are using to back up your c drive.
Personally I use clonezilla because it is free and easy to use. just make sure the external drive is the same size or larger than the drive you are trying to backup.
