System Restore, System Backup (Error Code 1068)
Oct 26, 2008I wish the ****ing dumbass companies wouldnt preload computers with useless trials and dumb****. Ever since this computerwas purchased, I've had more problems than Lindsay Lohan had with DUI and drugs.
Holy ****. Games, Personalization, System Restore, System Backup (Error code 1068), User Accounts, and Windows Update. They show up, and then they dissapear right away. Any help please? Virusscan'd with AVG, tested hardware, it's clean, I dont know whats wrong.
Use System Restore To Restore Back To Certain Restore Points?
May 26, 2008Why can't I use system restore to restore back to certain restore points? I was only successful twice with it. When my laptap was new and when I used it after re-formatting my hard drive. On all occassions after those two instances I can never restore back to any restore point. It always says that "unspecified error" line. If Microsoft doesn't know what happend, how could I. Why did they bother putting system restore if it doesn't work all the time anyway. It gives you a false sense of security.

May 28, 2009After installing SP2, on 5/25, System Restore seems to have stopped creating automatic restore points every 24 hours. I checked the Task Manger and it is set for 24 hours. It shows a restore point being created on 5/26. System Restore shows the last Restore Point being created on 5/25 about 1 hour after downloading.

Apr 11, 2008I have a recent problem installing Windows updates on Vista Ultimate as the update process stays on 'creating restore point' forever. I've let it run as long as 7 hours in this state, with no change. It looks like the system is unable to make a restore point sucessfully. I know it has worked in the past, as I'm fairly up-to-date on Windows updates. Reading some other threads, I've tried using Disk Clean-up to remove all by the most recent restore points, and then try to disable/re-enable system restore - this part without success. When I check the system properties for System Restore, the System Restore button is greyed out. I've attached a screenshot of the screen for reference. I've checked the group policies to verify the System Restore is not disabled there.

May 11, 2009I went to accessories/system tools/system restore and clicked it. I then got a small dialogue window asking if I wanted to continue and I clicked continue. That little window disappeared but then nothing hasppened. I was expecting to see a list of possible restore points but nothing showed on my screen. I clicked system restore again and got a message that system restore was already running and would now exit.

Jun 19, 2009The mystery, at least to me, my PC was running almost 2 years. and it was not until about 3 weeks ago that System Restore began to save Restore Points the size of Approx 3 to 4GB daily. Prior to that the Restore Points were well under 1GB. it would be 3 to 6 days before I noticed the loss of 1GB. So why suddenly would the Restore File grew 1 one day from well under 1GB to between 3 to 4GB? That now is the issue I would like to know the answer to. and perhaps that file being saved with each Restore Point is not needed. I mean it wasn't needed for almost 2 years. so I can't think over night it became important but it sure is eating up HDD space.

View 9 Replies View RelatedComplete PC Backup & Restore
May 26, 2008I 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?
Window Backup And Restore?
Feb 11, 2009I have been placing my backup on an external USB 500GB drive. My computer with Windows Vista Ultimate melted down. I have been attempting to restore my documents from the USB Drive. I have restored some folders and now have 89,378 files mostly unrecognizable, such as: 7D6a3B81-0000DD52.nws. Isn't there a reasonable way to see the folders in the back up files so that one knows what to restore?

This backup can be restored on this computer. Please use the correct Windows Recovery Envirnment (x64) WinRE."

Dec 15, 2009I just used Microsoft Backup for the first time. I have an external USB hard drive G: with 70GB free pace and 10GB already used. This was the first time I have run Backup START > CONTROL PANEL > BACKUP AND RESTORE I selected the option to backup everything. It ran for almost 80 minutes. I thought it was running because all the while, it was displaying the file that it was currently processing and then periodically, it would show the message writing to (G When it was finished, it wrote the following three lines
Last backup: 12/15/2009 9:49 PM
Next backup: 12/20/2009 11:00 PM
Where to save files: Local Disk (G So when I looked at G:, I could not find anything new. When I checked properties for G:, it was still 10GB used and 70GB free. Properties for (C were 30GB used 75GB free before and after backup. How can I tell if backup really happened? Did backup leave a log file?
Backup Restore Turned Off
Jun 3, 2008I have a strange problem trying to account for the space usage on my disk. The disk capacity is 186 GB, and there is about 12.5 GB of available space. However, when I look at file sizes using ShowSize, TreeSize, or just manually looking at folder sizes in the explorer, I can only account for 99 GB of space. I have backup/restore turned off. Where's the rest of the disk space?

Mar 22, 2009I'm operating Vista Ultimate x64 on an HP Tx2 Touchsmart. (The 3rd one.)I've had the Touchsmart for a month and the case broke - so before I swapped it out at Best Buy I went over to the Backup and Recovery area of Vista and made a full restore on to an external hard drive. The folder "WindowsImageBackup" now exists on my G: external drive. I go swap out the two machines, come home and try and get Backup Status and Configuration to recognize the G: drive backup - it finds the drive, not the backup. I get to the point where it searches for a backup to restore - but it won't see anything there. I can see it, but apparently Windows can't. Besides cuss at HP for making a machine I had to return twice because of hardware issues. It's a sweet little tablet (multi-touch) but I've got some lemons right off the rack. Don't let me down Vista community!

I bought it 18 months ago and it fixed every problem I had with my old celeron 1.7 machine. I bought a project pavillion M9040N desktop box with no hard drives.

It wasn't quite that easy. After (20) tries, I <powered on>, <hit F10>, entered the setup program and made the HD the first device, made the CD the 3rd device, made the HD the first boot device, and set it to display the parameters as it loaded. I dont know if I said that right.....

May 28, 2008I have successfully used my Vista installation DVD to backup and restore Complete PC many times. But yesterday, it suddenly stopped booting and no longer prompts me to "Press any key to boot Vista from the installation CD/DVD". Other computers boot fine from this DVD, so it's not faulty. The only changes to the system configuration since the last successful boot from the DVD (literally the night before):
1. Automatic Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)
2. Automatic Update for Windows Vista (KB947562)
3. Changed location of Documents, Videos, Music, Pictures to USB HDD, and then reverted back to defaults.
