  • Backup and restore in Mode safe!

    I was having a problem with my computer laptop windows startup and now have hooked to an external monitor, allowing me to use the computer in safe mode. I've send the laptop for repair in the next few days and would like very to save all this as the problem with is probably the hard drive or motherboard. Thus, after a search in the help and support available on the computer, I found a link to the backup and Restore Center (for some reason that I'm not able to access it through the control panel). When you click on the link nothing happens... it is not possible to use the backup and Restore Center while running in safe mode?

    If it is possible, and I'm just computer illiterate it please let me know how I should do it, I'd rather a lot do not have to install all my programs when I get my computer.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello jmcrawford22,

    The backup and restore service is not running in Mode safe and you will not be able to perform a backup. I suggest that you manually copy files (personal folders) to an external source using Windows Explorer. You will be able to copy the files. However, you will not be able to save the data of the program such as backup and restore does not work as you are not able to start the computer in normal mode.

  • Music and video through the center of backup and restore backup

    Hi ChicagoExPat,

    Make sure that the disks are writable, which means that you can add, remove, or modify the content. If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to backup, be sure to have enough disks to complete the job. The back up files Wizard you indicates how much space you need whenever you perform a backup and recommends the type of media to use.

  • Reference Dell backup and restore is unable to create a DVD of recovery on Windows 8

    Dear Dell,

    I am creating recovery discs "Dell backup and Recovery application" but when I was asked to insert the second DVD, the optical drive keeps rejecting DVD. The application will not continue to burn the second DVD and seems to be frozen. I tyied with different DVD brands/manufacturers and also-/ + r unfortunately. The question remains. I could find this 593906 article published 21-01 - 2013 (http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&docid=593906&doclang=en&l=en&s=dhs link). Although I did the updates, I'm still not able to create recovery discs!   File: after having inserted the Disc 3 application gives the message "Dbr.exe-" not found disk and stays there and rejects the DVD.  I spoke with the Greek team of Dell. I was told that warranty does not cover the support of sw even if my unit is less than a week. Furthermore, I learned that although "Dell backup and restore" application said THAT DELL is not actually a Dell product so they can't support. They my proposed to use the recovery of files from windows 7 place (which needs at least 8 DVD!). As you can understand it's a workaround and not a Solution.

    I hope that someone from Dell will consider the issue and to come back with a precise answer and a permanent solution.   (Model: inspiron 15 3521). Thank you

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall Dell Backup and Recovery Manager and Dell Support Center. Follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows key + 'X' on the keyboard.

    Identify the version of the BIOS. If A04, the update of the BIOS is not necessary. If this isn't the case, update the BIOS. Before flashing the BIOS please check this following:

    * All other programs should be closed and saved documents.
    * The power adapter and the battery must be connected during this process. The battery must be 10% or more than 10% of charge.

    Then check if you see the external hard drive in the Device Manager.
    To check these options:

    1. click on the Start button to display the Start Menu , then selectControl Panel .
    2. the Control Panel window opens.
    Now click system and security from this window.
    3 Scrollfor Device Manager.
    4. click on the Device Manager.
    5. to view material click on any category and the associated list of installed hardware. For example. Click on hard drives.
    Right click on the external hard drive. You can see the different options likeUpdate driver software, disable, uninstall and properties etc.
    6. click on Properties to display the details of the hardware. Click theDriver tab , to view the details of device driver.
    7. then on the software update driver to check and see if you have the latest drivers.

    Then check again and see if you can save on the external hard drive.

    If this is not the case, try to map a drive to the external drive. Can you back up now.

    Please respond and take stock of your problem.

  • Backup and restore > Creat an Image of the system: program cannot find a WD external hard drive

    I recently bought and installed a MyBook 2 t Western Digital network drive.  It installed fine and I can see listed on the 'Computer' desktop and icon within the Norton backup program.  I have setup my regular backup routines successfully.  On the bottom: I recently lost a hard drive and replaced with a new one and spent several days to restore the system and install any patches, etc.  It was particularly difficult to get the installed Windows 7 SP1.  I wanted to install this drive external hard to use Windows built-in Backup and Restore to "create a system image.  When I select this option, the program asks me where I want to save the backup. I select the button of "on a hard drive" and search for the external hard drive.  It notes the two internal hard drives, external hard drive is not found.  Support WD provided the following instructions:

    ********

    If you have mapped the drive and backup Windows and restore is not able to
    see even the mapped folder. I recommend you to check that the network
    Services by clicking on "Start" and type "Services.msc" and press ENTER.
    It will bring up the Services Control Panel. You will see all the services on

    UPnP device host-

    All of these Services, under the State, must be either "Manual" or "Automatic" in
    in order to work properly. If any of these Services are 'off '.
    in the status area, you will need to enable it. To do this, you right-click
    on the Service and click 'properties '. After that, the "Startup Type".
    Set it to automatic, and then close.

    In addition, you will need to check
    as options network and sharing are all set up correctly. To do this, which
    you need to do is click on 'Start' and open 'control panel '. There, click on
    "Network and Internet" or "center network and sharing", according to the
    display type. After that you are in "Network and Internet", you can select 'network '.
    'and Sharing Center'.

    In "Network and sharing Center", on the Panel for
