SATA2 HDD For Win 7 Backup
Jul 31, 2009
I have 2 hard drives which are SATA2. There isn't any Slave or Master to configure. I have 2 partitions on each drive. So if I take the C drive and Image it and restore it to the 2nd hard drive 1st partition and re boot will I still boot into my 1st hard drive. If I take the 1st hard drive out will it boot into the 2nd hard drive 1st partition which will be the only hard drive on the system at this time and nothing has been configured with the hard drives? This is being done for a backup test.

I have a SSD with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. To boot off it my bios needs to be in AHCI mode. I also have Windows XP Prof SP2 x84 on a Sata2 drive and too boot off of that I need to be in IDE mode. Also when I boot into the XP drive it rewrites the boot BCD and I need to load up the Windows 7 install disk and do a repair to get back into Windows 7. While EasyBCD will allow me to fix that issue I can't imagine it will allow me to do the whole AHCI/IDE combo will it?

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.

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.

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'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?

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 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.

1. Open backup and restore center
2. Set backup settings
a. Choose backup locations to local disk,for example f:
b. Choose [Let me choose]
c. What do you want to back up?
Only choose the folder of c:program fileswindows photo viewer
Do not choose [Include a system image]
d. Backup summary
Items are c:program fileswindows photo viewer
e. Save settings and start backup
Result:
There is no files under F:TEST-PCBackup Set 2008-09-29 032022Backup Files 2008-09-29 032022Backup files 1.zip
So, the question is why we can not backup this folder at the first time(it should be a full backup)

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.

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?

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

I made a backup restore file of my complete Windows 7 32-bit PC onto my new 1tb ext hard drive. I then did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit OS to my PC. (Don't ask, I wasn't thinking at all.)Anyway now I NEED to restore some of the files I have stored on my ext drive but I keep hitting a brick wall. I have tried compatibility, restore wizards, etc but I can't retrieve want I want onto the 64-bit system.

1- I have 16GB of ram in my system, the pagefile is set to automatic at 16gb, is that overkill ?? Should i bring it down to 6-8 ?? I have a SSD drive that i install everything on it so the only reason i want to do that is to save some space.I know i can change the location of the pagefile but if ever windows need's it, it would be faster on the SSD ..
2- Can i Ghost my SSD as a backup ??? I am looking at threads that tells people not to ghost ssd drives for some reason i can't understand.

Can I create a backup laptop hard drive using Windows 7 Backup? I'm hoping to create an HD that will be an exact replica of the one in my machine, so that if it crashes I can simply replace it with the backup HD and there will be no differences at all. When I tried to do this, the new HD had all the data, but when I swapped it with the current HD and tried to boot, I got a "BOOTMGR missing" message.
