Does anyone know what would cause the following backup error?
The backup was not successful. The error is: Windows Backup encountered a problem while determining additional locations of one of the users included in backup. (0x81000038).
I have a Win7 64-bit system and have been successfully using Windows backup on an approximately monthly basis. I ran it before going to bed last night and woke up to a "The backup failed." when I tried to create a system image of both of my hard discs. The error is "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)". I found a workaround solution at Windows backup or restore errors 0x80070001, 0x81000037, or 0x80070003 and looked up and found a number of "junction points", most rooted at c:UsersDilipAppData - but the problem is that there is no such folder.
I created an image using the Microsoft Backup and Restore tool in Windows 7. I saved the image on a network shared folder.I then went to the Advanced Recovery Methods in Windows to restore my image...that I just created. It restarts the computer and goes into recovery mode, I point to where the image is located, I entered the network credentials and it give me an error. "The Specified network resource or device is no longer available. (0x80070037)"
Any simple backup program that is capable of backing up large files incrementally by splitting the file and backing up only changed parts of the file? The files I'm talking about are files that get altered by appending stuff at the end of the file, e.g. log files or mailbox files, so it's generally possible to split a new version of the file at the exact point where the old version stopped, purely by file size.
Specifically, I want to back up Thunderbird and SeaMonkey mailboxes without having to create additional subfolders within those programs. I understand that if something had changed near the beginning of the file, then the whole file will have to be backed up, unless the backup program is capable of some very clever searching, but mostly the files will change only by having data appended to it.
Which backup software to backup Pictures/Documents/Videos so that when you do a fresh install you don't loose anything.apart from your programs of course, just the documents backed up what do you use?
I'm running Windows 7 64x Home Premium on a Toshiba Qosmio X505 laptop. I just got it back from the warranty repair center, where they replaced the hard drive and graphics fan & heatsink, and reloaded the factory windows version. Before I sent it out for repair, I used Windows Backup to create a backup of all my files on a Toshiba casio 500GB external USB drive (I had over 300 GB of files, so it was easier to use Windows Backup than drag and drop all the files, at least at the time). Now that I have the laptop back, I'm having trouble restoring my files. When I go to Control Panel-> Backup & Restore, a message appears in the restore section, saying "Windows could not find a backup for this computer." I've tried reconnecting the drive as well as restarting my computer, but to no avail. I can see and explore the files in My Computer, so I know the hard drive is properly connected.
Is there way I can change the location of the backup files location using the Win7 Backup Manager? Right now it just shows me the location for a USB port. I would like to use a Home Group Location.
When you wish to recover your system using this utility, do you use the Windows program at desktop or the rescue disc I created from the program?The reasn I ask is because I used to have better luck using Acronis' disc rather than the program and wonderd if the same applied here.Also, does the backup remove the existing one so that you only have one at a time or can you have more than one.
I backup 100GB of data with Windows Backup and over the time where I do all my backups there is like only 30GB of data which changed from those 100GB and also new files were added. Now my external drive is full. When I now delete the very early backup, the first one where the 100GB of data was saved, will it delete then ALL those 100 GB, or will it just delete the previous versions of the files which were modified AFTER that time, which are in this case the 30GB I talked about? Because otherwhise I would then have in the end an uncomplete, messed up backup.
I currently use Vista Ultimate. I am preparing to move to Windows 7. Is it possible to restore files from Vista Backup and Restore Center to Windows 7 after a clean install?
I'm using Win 7 Pro and want to schedule several backups to my NAS. With Win XP, I was able to schedule multiple backup jobs, which makes things easier since I have 116 GB of data. I like to backup my documents, email files, etc. every week, but my photos, MP3s, etc. don't change as frequently so once a month is fine for that. Not surprisingly, the media collection takes much longer to backup, which is another reason I try to separate it from my "regular" backup.Unfortunately, Win 7 backup only seems to allow one backup job to be scheduled, which seems awfully limited. Am I missing something? Are there other free backup utilities that would work better, or do I need to shell out some cash?
I'm trying to backup Windows 7 to an external HD that currently is used to backup mac.eed to do to make this happen? I'm sure I'll have to format the ext HD then backup the mac using a different file format, but am unsure just what I'll have to do or how to do it.
Currently my PC is set just they way I like so I thought I'd do a backup, the idea being that should something go wrong then I can just use that backup (on DVD's) to do restore my PC to the 'now' settings.
I have seen a few others with this problem, but never any solutions....
Does anyone know how to fix it?
For those of you that don't know what this is, it is an error you get when trying to back up. The system claims that there is no more room to back up, but in my case the backup is only 70 gigs, and I have over 200gigs free.
Anyone get this error code? Received this on first attempt at backup. The error suggests it's a disk problem. I'll try chkdsk in the meantime. I'm running a SATA 2+0 Raid array.
I upgraded my main computer to Windows 7 Home Premium which has a C drive (500 GB) and a Raid 5 SATA array (2.7 TB) on drive D:. I tried to backup the install as an image on the D: drive and I get the following error code 0x8078002A and a comment about an I/O error and one of the backup files could not be created.
I plugged in a USB external hard drive in and it works.
This computer is part of a gigabit switched home network (the main file server), so I tried to back up one of the home computers (running W7 Professional) through the network onto a shared folder on drive D: and I get the same error. The backup gets 27% of the way through on both computers and then fails.
I have updated the Raid driver (I had to as part of the W7 install).
I tried the reboot trick mentioned in another forum which did not work.
Any ideas or solutions on this one?
Secondly, can I copy through Windows Explorer the backup off the USB drive onto the D: drive and have a reliable backup, or will that copy corrupt the backup?
When I run Windows Backup to save an image to the D: drive (have not tried other drives) I get 0x8007042d after it has run about 12% of the job.The error says, "Windows Backup Troubleshooting options - Check your backup - The service could not start due to a logon failure - Backup location D: - error code 0x8007042d After formatting D: the Backup function gave me the error when I tried to launch Backup, so at the moment I can't even start the backup. Error says, "Tha backup application could not start due to an internal error: The service did not start due to a logon failure. (0x8007042d)".Checked Volume shadow copy service right after the launch failure and it shows the service is running.I suspect the problem started when I installed or uninstalled Acronis backup software 2011 Home flavor. I removed all the Acronis entries in the registry, ran their fix utility, etc. No help.I also have Carbonite which also makes an image of C: and saves it on the P: drive - paused Carbonite and Windows Backup still gives 0x8007042d.
Carbonite was installed about the time Acronis was uninstalled. Carbonite seems to be working fine.At about the same time...I started noticing Not Responding events with a variety of programs. I have a 16gb ReadyBoost flash drive.

AFter completeing a backup on my external hard drive I got a message that some files were skipped. Various files were skipped and not backed up because they are on corrupted drive C:/ (144502_error). The notepad details indicated skipped files from My documents, pictures, desktop, downloads, favorites, etc. Is this something I need to be concerned about & rectify and if so how?
A couple of weeks ago I did something stupid and lost all my data from my hard drive on my old XP computer. Having now bought a new machine and restored as many files as I can, I have purchased a Seagate Expansion 1TB external drive on which to backup my files (Once bitten, twice shy,)I'm now using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a 500GB hard drive (not much on it at the moment) but when I tried to do my first backup today using the Windows 7 utility the backup aborted at less than half complete giving me the error message: 0x81000033 "Windows Backup skipped backing up system image because one of the critical volumes is not having enough free space. Free up some space by deleting unnecessary files and try again."I've searched on the Net and found that this is by no means an isolated problem and probably involves a partition (whatever that means) that is too small. MS want to charge a fee for assistance as my Windows 7 was purchased with the computer. All the other so called 'fixes' are so way over my head that I a) don't understand what they are talking about and b) simply don't have the confidence to try them without an idiot's step-by-step guide in front of me.I know it's a bit long winded but my question is, does anyone know of a SIMPLE way to back up my files or have I just wasted my money on an external drive that I cannot use?
Im currently running a Dell XPS, using windows 7 64 bit. I just bought a new external hard drive, the Iomega Ego Portable Hard Drive. Im trying to backup my pc to this drive.Whenever I backup, I get the error 0x8078002a I've searched the forums using the code but not found anything. I have done what the solution stated on Error message when you try to perform a full backup on a Windows Vista-based computer: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"; the Chkdsk took about 3 hours.I then tried again, but the same error occurred!My laptop is only ~2 months old, and my external hard drive was bought today so unsure of what I can do.
I have an HP tx2627cl table notebook (swivel screen), Win 7 Home prem OS, 4GB ram and a Seagate ext HD (75GB free of 279GB) which will not allow me to backup. I get error message 0x8007045D because of "an i/o device error". I can copy files to that external HD (I, but can't use Windows Backup. I did a check disk of I:/ and got no errors. When I click on Backup to I:/, it starts, says it is creating a shadow copy, runs for a couple of minutes (about 5-6%) then I get the above error message. I have switched USP ports, and tried doing a backup from a "clean boot state" with the recommended settings--all to no avail.
i have downloaded Paragon free backup, installed and attempted to run a backup however this has failed saying error 0x11112(VSS specific error) and i dont know what to do as there is no help section for this error. As i could get this to work I then dowloaded the free version from Macrium only to find that when i ran a backup, I received a note saying error code = 1 please run chkdsk C:/f. I have run chkdsk but this has not done anything.
I read somewhere about the VSS set up which at present is set to manual - whether this is correct or not I dont know.
does anybody know what Windows 7 Backup Failure with Errmsg 0x80070032 means? I've searched the internet and saw various Vista posts mentioning services which are not enabled (Task Scheduler..)
However, this does not apply to Windows 7. What does it mean?
i try to backup my data to an external usb-disk. as soon as the backup software wants to write to the disk an error 0x80070570 is displayed.
i can access this disk without problem and i also use it for storing the system images. the strange thing is that i managed to do a single backup to this drive yesterday. btw the same error is shown when i want to backup to a dvd-ram.
The backup tool is complaining about not having enough space for a backup but it wants 18GB and I have over 88GB on my backup target drive.
Anyone else seen this?
I did see in another forum that it was related to a system restore backup. If that's the case, does anyone know how I can determine how much space everything will take? Seems strange that it's not telling me the entire space requirement. (If that is the case with the restore image)
