Complete PC Backup Failed, Element Not Found 0x80070490
Jun 3, 2008
The backup is not failing, it says it's complete, but the file that it creates is less than 70GB, and my drive is 225GB full out of 279GB. The machine is running Vista Ultimate and running Vista Media Center. 157GB of the files are recorded shows, my music and pictures. I'm expecting a file closer to 225GB, especially since media files don't compress well (if this program compresses).
I find it awfully coincidental that 225 - 157 = 68, which is about the size of my backup file. The bigger problem is that I can't use the backup it creates. When I go to the restore operation, it finds the backup, I hit start and get back Restore Failed, element not found 0x80070490, which leads me to believe the backup is incomplete.

I try to do a backup and after selecting the drive I want it backed up to and
it starts, almost immediately I get the following: The backup failed. Failure in a Volume Shadow Copy Service operation. (0x807800A1). Additional Information: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur. (0x800423F4). I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 and the drive I'm trying to back up to is just a secondary SATA drive.

I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I'm sure that I installed SP1 about a year ago. The "System" details in Control Panel says that SP1 is installed. I wanted to now install Vista SP2. I got the message "element not found. Details: ERROR_NOT_FOUND (0X8007 0490)" The MS solution is to install SP2 manually. I tried this, and got the same error.
The MS site recommends a repair install, so I started to do a repair install using Brink's tutorial: Repair Install For Vista. That tutorial says I must remove SP1 first, because my Dell OS CD does not contain SP1. However, there is no mention of SP1 in the Uninstall Programs applet in Control Panel. Also, my Windows Updates History does not mention SP1. (During Windows Update, I am not being offered SP1, but I AM being offered SP2. Should I assume that SP1 is NOT installed? (So I can then install SP1 manually, then hopefully SP2.)

I did a complete PC backup of my system onto an external USB HDD using the backup facility in VISTA Ultimate. When I went to do a complete PC restore I am told form the Help info on VISTA Ultimate to restart my computer, push F8 and choose the 'repair' option to run the restore. WHen I do this I get the safe mode options, debugging mode etc etc but there is no 'repair' mode. How do I get to the repair mode??

I always use vista complete backup (Disk Image) to backup both my hard disks, but I am a bit confused as to the restore options. Basically, I have a sneaky suspition that one of the drives is going to fail in the near future, so I backup quite regularly, but when I replace it, I want to get a bigger drive, as it's only a 150gig raptor, and I really would prefer a 500 or 1TB 7200rpm drive for storage.
Can vista restore the files I backed up on D: (the 150gig) to a new D: which would be a large disk ? If it can, could I also do the same for C: which is where vista is located? If that doesn't work,

I performed the complete PC backup but I don't know if it worked and if it did, what discs are valid. It was a confusing process. I have 36 GB to backup and it said it should take 3-5 DVD discs. When I inserted the first disc it said to label it, including the date and time of the backup followed by "1". It did the same thing four times, and each time the progress bar started from the beginning. After the fourth disk, it finally went through verifying the disc and the progress bar went further. It told me to label backup was complete. The last two discs are readable but the other three are not. Did the system back up all 36 GB on two DVDs? If there were errors writing to some discs then it should tell me that the discs are not part of the backup set.

I run Vista Home Premium and have been informed that it has built in backup capability to make a 'dic image' of my entire computer similar to what "Ghost" does.
however, I cannot locate the starting point which I was told is under the 'system and maintenance' heading in Control Panel. in my control panel there is no such system and maintenance setting.

I have tested the Complete PC Backup feature several times. It bombs out 75% of the time. Has anyone experimented with this feature? What were your results?

I want to build a PC. I've browsed around the 'net looking for information on Complete PC Backup. The only thing that I've found on the 'net explains how to do a backup & restore. I've browsed around the Microsoft Vista discussion groups & found out that it is possible to do incremental (I wish that it would do differential instead of incremental backups.) as well as full backups.
Can I give the backup files names or does Windows? For example, before I install certain software can I give the backup a file name such as "before installijng XYZ software"? The way I understand it with incremental backups, the full backup has to be restored first & then the incremental backups are restored next starting with the oldest & proceeding to the latest. Since the Complete PC Backup does incremental backups, does the Restore wizard restore the incremental backups in order?

Backup did not complete successfully. I am running Business Vista 32bit on a HP Compaq desktop with 3 GB of RAM and 100GB hard disk drive. Over the past two months I have had my document folder backed up to a W2K Server folder-automatically. Last week, I got the following error message: "The backup did not complete successfully. A shadow copy could not be created for the following reasons: Incompatible version of the serializing package (0x81070724)."
I went to another Business Vista computer on the same network, and backed up to the same Server folder (Userbackups) without any problems. I am not interested in Acronis True Image 2009. I would like to continue using the automatic backup feature that came with Vista.

I have a 1 TB Samsung hard drive divided into 3 partitions of C:, E:, and F: When I try to run Windows Complete PC Backup, it automatically selects C: and E: It lists E: as a system drive, even though it has no OS on it and I only use it for data backups. I only wish to backup C: as it has the OS and installed programs (I use a different process to back up other data).

I am looking for a means to create system backup of my Vista Home premium version in case I shall ever have to reinstall the system, for instance on a new harddisk. The backup help on my system tells me that the tool for this task is a "PC Complete backup", but also that this is not available on Vista home versions. Apparently this system backup must be burned on a CD (or DVD), but where can I find a utility that does just that?

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and I'm trying to do another Complete PC Backup to an external 500gb USB drive and I'm getting error (0x80780048) due to not enough free space left on the backup drive. The screen before says, if there is not enough free space it will start deleting prior backups starting with the oldest. This does not seem to be the case as advertised! I do scheduled regular data backups once a week and every month or more I also do a manual Complete PC Backup. Is my only resort to reformat my external
500gb backup drive and start over with a fresh complete pc backup until the drive fills up again? I thought this was a cool feature with Vista Ultimate (which made me buy it over the Premium edition) but it does not automatically delete the oldest backups to make room?

I would like to *manually* save different versions of Complete PC Backup, but Vista won't give me that option and will only save incremental backups. As someone noticed here on the forums, "using the *scheduled* backup is the only way to get the checkbox to create full backups, each and every time you want one". However, scheduled backups is not what I want to do, as I'm losing control of the exact PC versions. Can I rename the earlier backup to something else (eg. "WindowsImageBackup1"), so Vista would create a new folder "WindowsImageBackup" and save a new full backup into it? If yes, when I rename the folder from "WindowsImageBackup1" back to "WindowsImageBackup" in order to restore the earlier version of PC, will
it get corrupted or confuse Vista?

The hard drive was of SATA type. I attempted to use VHD file to migrate the system from the old hdd to the new hdd but failed. The following was the steps taken:
1. Created a VHD file on the laptop machine and stored it on an USB interfaced external hdd.
2. Temporarily installed the new SATA hdd on a desktop machine and created partitions including data partitions.
3. Moved the VHD file to one of the data partitions on the new hdd.
4. Replaced the old hdd on the laptop machine with the new hdd.
5. On the laptop machine, the first primary partition of the new hdd was set active since the Vista system was installed on the first partition of the old hdd.
6. Started the laptop machine, let the system boot from the installer DVD and selected "Repair".
7. "PC Complete Restore" was selected. The installer located the VHD file and the restore process began.
Then the following message was displayed:
The Windows Complete PC Restore operation failed.
Error details: The parameter is incorrect.(0x80070057)

Want to do a complete PC backup for my newly purchased notebook, however, i started to do the backup to dvd, it seems it never ended, and kept prompt me to insert a blank disk. I have two partitions in one single hard drive, drive c is the system partition, drive d is the backup image of my notebook for recovery, Control panel -> system and maintenance -> Back and restore center -> Back up computer -> DVDRW Drive, it said it will take 4 to 7 dvds, however, it still continued to prompt me to insert a blank disk after the 9th dvd, then i stop manually, Is it normal? How can chase the backup log? Should I skip the recovery disk from the backup?

upgrade HD from 60G to 250G without having to reinstall all files and programs. Windows Complete PC Restore cannot see DVD with backup image file
1. Backed up C: using Windows Complete PC Backup. (6 DVDs no errors.)
2. Removed old HD and inserted new.
3. Booted Windows Vista install DVD. (I proceeded to partition HD but did not complete the install.)
4. From Windows Recovery Environment, I chose Windows Complete PC Restore.
5. Inserted Backup image DVD disc1.
6. When it looked for the location of the image it couldn't find it so it fails.

So, when I try to run Maya 2008 I keep getting this error: The application has failed to start because d3dx9_34.dll was not found. Well, thats a DirectX 9 DLL and so I am guessing I need DirectX 9 right? So I goto Microsofts DirectX site and get dxwebsetup.exe. But... I can't run it. I get this error: C:Windowssystem32advpack.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator.I hit ok, says it again, hit ok and get this message: Current logon user doesn't have the Administrator privilege. Please logon again as an Administrator or contact your Pc Administrator.
Well, I am the Admin and I have admin and even if I right click --> properties --> run as admin I get the same message... ok I figure I will just download the redistributable instead... I do that and I try to run the DXSETUP.exe and I get the same Admin error as teh web setup... I have no idea what is going on and now i am starting to get very angry... very very angry. This is the onyl problem I have had with Vista thus far... and it is the worste thing it could be, I need Maya...I am running Vista Ultimate x64 and the Maya version I am installing is Maya 2008 x64 designed to run on vista x64 so it's not that it is incompatible. mad.gif mad.gif

I am running Windows Microsoft Home Premium. My weekly scheduled system backup has been failing since mid December 2008. The message I get is: "The backup did not complete successfully. An error occurred. The following information might help you resolve the error: Access is denied. (0x80070005)"
This failure is soon followed by my ZoneAlarm anti-virus software picking up on "Exploit.Java.ByteVerify" I delete this "virus" as per instructions. I have manually intiated a backup which also fails. I have used restore points dated before this problem began, to no avail. I have Googled looking for solutions, and have found similar, but not identical problems. And I am not technically informed enough to try a solution if the problem does not exactly match mine.

I had to update my External Verbatim E drive as it was Full Disc. I now use WD Elements but i reformatted it to use on my Backup an Restore Auto BU. It backs up half my files then stops with this error message 0X81000014. Which says i don't have enough E drive disk space. Which is incorrect as i have 229 free of 298 GB on External E Drive. Also i had this error code 0X8007005>> Denied Access which i fixed. I tried several times same error message 0X8100014 pops up? I have never had this problem before with Verbatim.

"The backup copy did not complete successfully." "A shadow copy could not be created for the following reasons There is not enough space on the disk (0x80070070)"
I am only using about 200GB of my computers space and I am pretty sure 1TB is enough space. When I start the backup, It says it is sending it to my J drive (which is my external)

Vista Business (32bit). Complete PC Backup to External (USB 2.0) DVD-Rw Drive (Lite-On DVDRW SHW-160P6S with latest driver installed) just "hangs" (ie. DVD-R disk number 1) After the 1st DVD is apparently full, won't Eject the DVD for another "blank" DVD. Manual Eject button doesn't work with "Complete PC Backup"; works OK with other programs. Tried this with non-formatted and formatted "blank" DVD-R disks same "hang". Have to just "Stop Backup" program to get out of this. PC's internal "D:" drive is DVD read/CD read/write drive. Is DVD disk type (DVD-R) a factor ? Is there a fix for this other than replacing the internal "D:" drive with one that writes DVDs or getting some other "complete PC backup" software ? Incidentally, the PC BIOS has been updated.

When I tried to make a backup I've got an error message saying:
Backup failed
0*80070017 cyclic redundancy control failed
I've searched the net for that code and they suggested chkdsk, I've done that and ran sfc/scannow with elevated privileges. Sfc did correct some problems but there is one problem he could not repair. I've looked at the log in c:windowslogscbs and searched with the tag [SR] to narrow down, and there was a problem that occured several times.
Windows SIdebar settings.ini is corrupt or missing (64-32bit program files) and when sfc tries to look for backup of the source file it also stated that this one is corrupted. So I was wondering I've someone knows a method to correct this? Maybe if there is a way to reinstall the sidebar my problem could be solved (?) I can't use System restore because I recently deleted those checkpoints, because of an space lack on that partition.
