Strange Behaviour In Complete PC Backup Business
Jun 13, 2008
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?

Simply put- RED Blue Screens. I don't know what I need to call them. THEY ARE RED! And they just reference "An error reading the instruction set" There is no STOP Error. I upgraded the Processor from AMD Athlon x2 5000+ to an AMD Phenom x4 9650. I have not overclocked it. In fact, first thing I did after installing it was reset CMOS.
I've checked for minidumps relating to this issue but there are none. I am running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.

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 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 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?

If I do a complete backup on my Vista Ultimate laptop and do the restore to a larger hard disk, will it work? I have read differing reports of whether it will or not.

I recently had to have Vista Business reinstalled b/c my computer crashed. I have a complete backup on an external drive using Vista Backup & Restore (keeping my fingers crossed it is a good one) but it is from several months ago so I decided to have the tech that was checking out my computer do a backup before reinstall. Unfortunately, he couldn't backup everything and I am missing quite a bit of stuff. I have no idea how the complete restore would work. Am I able to select certain data to restore? Does it restore things back to their original location?

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.

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 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 just bought a brand new 1TB external hard drive to backup my computer with. verytime I try to back it up, after fifteen seconds I get an error msg saying:
"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.

CURRENT behaviour. Right click on START, left click on EXPLORE, opens in a window with Start Menu folder selected. DESIRED behaviour. Right click on START, left click on EXPLORE, would like a full screen window with my user folder selected. My username is Admin. I suspect a modification to the registry may be required to accomplish my desired behaviour.

I have been reading a website called Butterflies & Wheels for many months. Suddenly I cannot contact it, I get an error message by 'Bad Behaviour' telling me I have a virus or something. I have Norton and I dont think I have any viruses. I suspect that 'Bad Behaviour' is reliable, and is finding something suspicious on my registry. The Bad Behaviour page has an automatic removal option for the problematic entries.

Is it just me or had vista consigned the art of the simple mouse-click to history. Why when i click on a folder does it always try to rename it ? If i wish to rename it i would right click like every othe microsoft OS ever created. Why when i click on a short cut from my desk top does nothing happen (no feedback that i have clicked) so i click again and get two (or more) application loading. Is there some where to change click behaviour without setting up umpteen user profiles with 136 sql server schemas? Most exaspereted - moving to linux - just need to convince my boss

I have C & D drives, I use D for mundane filesdownloads and portable apps. However, I have a few folders that's are different from any I've seen. I don't know how to explain it other than using a detailed example.
I have D:Folder1
I can rename Folder1 to whatever I want.
E.g it will appear as D:NewFolder
However the dir location of it still points to D:Folder1
I have also scanned the registry for D:Folder1 and D:NewFolder there are no references of it. I've reformatted the C: drive multiple times and reinstalled windows. So I know it's nothing to this specific windows installation (the folders have been like this for about a year) It's not really a problem, I love it because I can rename the folder without messing up links etc. At first I thought it might be a junction, however in cmd it still shows as <Dir> not <Junction> I also checked for hidden folders on the drive. I found nothing.

I gamble on sports, yes, bad like that, and have encountered a bug. I copy data from a place called statfox.com to look into the future or past if you will. Not as good as a psychic though!
Specifically I copy stats from the NBA and baseball.
Here is my bug. I go to the site, http://www.statfox.com/
Then I scroll over to the NBA drop down menu. Then I click team statistics.
Then I click a team, say Boston. I cut and paste normally, the game data. The second box you see with last 20 games.
Like this.

On my old machine which runs XP and has Excel 2003 it works fine.
With Vista, it messes up the dates. I have tried everything. Different browsers, compared settings in Excel, even tried office.org or free office or whatever it is called.
Still won't work. It copies half the dates correctly, and some dates it copies like text or worse. I am not really sure, I cannot type data in to fix the error.
I have a new Gateway with Vista. I am waiting for them to mail me Windows 7.
It is so easy to cut and paste on my other PC, and I have loked in every forum I can find for three days and found nothing that fixes this bug with Vista.
So it is not the Browser, I tried three including IE 8, Opera and Google. It is not Excel, or Star Office as both mess up, it is something with Vista.
I made myself a super admin BTW, on my computer, figured that one out. So I can adjust everything.
I have files dating back ten years that are all gving me date issues. Some work, some do not. I need a fix!
Do not ask for sports picks.
I trade sports like stocks, that is how I use the data.

Just discovered a bizarre application switcher from microsoft, somewhat similar to Apple's Expose.
Here's the screenshot ...
The thing came up when I clicked the mouse wheel. The mouse is Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. Microsoft software that came with the mouse is installed. Checked the mouse buttons config, and it says that clicking the wheel brings up the Flip 3D.
But, since I use the basic vista theme with Aero disabled (like it more this way), there is no Flip 3D on my machine. When I enable the Aero, clicking the mouse wheel brings up Flip 3D.
Anyone got any idea what is this thing?
Actually i quite like it, because it is fast as hell, way faster and more useful than other third party "expose on windows" third party solutions I tried some time before.
I was wondering how to bring up this thing from my keyboard, but win+tab does nothing. As for now, only clicking the mouse wheel works.

Contrary to others I love Vista!Meanwhile I have 3 machines running under Vista (my desktop, my TabletPC and my wife's desktop). What bothers me most at present:
For app. 2 weeks - out if a sudden - on my desktop (and only there) I'm having an unseen phenomenon with the screen layout:
Below the normal parts of the WinMail-window (columns for the folders[left side] and the headers preview and the messages preview [right,upper and lower half]) appears a sub-window with a scrollbar which stretches across the whole WinMail window. This sub-windows always is totally empty (no contents at all).
As this description might be unclear, pls see:
http://www.hera.hs-heilbronn.de/Rt/WinMailProbs.jpg
I cab drag this sub-window bigger and smaller. But there always remain a minimal height determined by the "Up" and "Down" scroll-button (arrows).
I checked literally *everything* to get rid of this totally useless(empty) sub-window. To no avail An I already asked in the German Vista NGs. To no avail either {siiiigh}
