Doesn't Want To Backup

Apr 15, 2012

My computer has been asking me to do backups.. and this is fine and dandy and usually works but lately it's been saying "this CD needs to be formatted".. and when I click "OK", it pops up the same thing again. This isn't a problem with the CD, it's the same CD that I've used for backups every other time.. and it's not a problem with the CD because I've tried new ones numerous times.

Win 7 Backup Doesn't Work

Nov 13, 2009

i installed windows 7, and everything seemed to work fine.

installed a bunch of programs, they also all seem to work.

but then i decided to do some backups; i created the rescue cd using windows, and then cloned the hard drive also using windows 7.

but then i noticed the backup program, and decided to click on "set up backup"; nothing happens.

if i try the same from a disk drive/properties (ie click on backup there) nothing happens either.

any ideas? maybe something i installed broke this, but it seems like a pretty basic function to break like this.

XCOPY Doesn't Backup "Share With Nobody" Folders?

Feb 7, 2011

I have a computer in an office setting with a number of users. Each user has one folder on a "Data" partition which is set to "share with nobody" for their privacy.

I'm trying to write a script to backup these folders, but these "private" folders aren't copied over. My script is a one-liner and looks like this: Code: XCOPY D:* F: /E /H /R /Y /I /D /M why these "share with nobody" folders don't get copied over?

Backup Software That Splits Large Files For Incremental Backup

Dec 3, 2012

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.

Backup External Drive Seen By My Computer, But Not Backup & Restore

May 25, 2012

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.

[BACKUP] Windows 7 Backup And Restore Utility?

Aug 23, 2012

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.

(windows Backup) Deleting Old Backup States?

May 8, 2011

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.

Multiple Backup Jobs With Windows 7 Backup?

Dec 7, 2010

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?

Windows Backup "The Backup Failed." Error

Feb 26, 2012

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.

Cannot Backup To Dvd

Dec 28, 2010

I have been trying to backup my data files to DVD. I know I'll need about 9 disks. Win Backup asks for the first disc and if I want to format it. However after the progress gets to 25% it appears to hang. The "More Information" window shows 25% complete and a "Windows Backup is currently in Progress" message. I've let this go for as long as an hour and nothing happens. I see some references to this issue on the web but no solution identified that I can find. If I cancel the backup, I can look and see that disc was written to and is full. For some reason Win 7 never asks for the next disc.

I have successfully create a backup to a hard disk drive, but cannot backup to DVD. I've now wasted 6 discs. Identical results with all of them. All Win 7 upgrades/updates have been applied.

BACKUP New Or Old

Nov 6, 2009

I was hapy using ntbackup because it let me create weekly bu's. What I mean is that I would have 4 bu's per month. Week1,week2,..week4. THat way I could go back serveral weeks if I needed to.

I do not see this capability with the new backup in Windows 7? It doesn't let me "Name" bu's? Maybe I am missing something. IF I use the Windows 7 bu and do incremental, will that be similar to what I was doing before?

Windows 7 Won't Do A Backup?

Oct 26, 2010

On my new Compaq laptop with Windows 7 I was able to do auto backups on a regular basis. Now all of a sudden it will not do a complete backup. My backups were going to an external Iomega hard drive. At one point using the HP maintenance program it did tell me I had some corrupted files on the C drive. I have tried using restore to correct the corrupted file problem and it isn't letting go back that far to try and correct the problem. If I try to run a backup my external drive looks like it is receiving some files and then it just spins forever and I can't eject it
