"Backup and restore" in Windows 7 saves nothing, except the data files?

I want to save my 'Favorites' of internet list, messages stored in Live mail and my address book in Live mail.  It seems that the "Backup and restore" function in Windows 7 saves only data files unless you choose the option of system image, and then it is not yet clear and seems to save much larger files that I could put on a DVD.

Can someone direct me to information on this topic or suggest a better method of simple backup.

By default, Windows 7 saving files in libraries and folders for all users.  That includes everything in your user folder: data applications, contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, music, photos, documents, etc..  Windows Live Mail stores messages in the application data folder, so they are automatically backed up.

The system image contains everything on your computer.

Both types of backup can create more data that a DVD can hold.  I recommend that you get an external drive for backups. Owner, Boulder computer Maven

  • How to exclude the missing files or library locations that are on a network backup and restore of Windows 7 Professional drive

    How to exclude the missing files or library locations that are on a network backup and restore of Windows 7 Professional drive. To give you more information, I have photos stored on a network drive to the following address: Wirelessspace\LaCie\MyPhotoGallery\Family. This folder is a location of library under the images. Because this folder is on a network drive backup backup not file Wizard.

    In addition, the following file locations is not found because they no longer exist. So why the backup wizard continues to look for and how to remove the backup set? I guess the error code following each line means simply that records cannot be found. Is this correct?

    Print > save as PDF - use an excerpt (part of Mac OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.

    As for the error "file corrupted", simply uninstall the Reader app will not affect it. Follow these steps:

    Mac/HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins

    Trash the files AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

    Mac HD/Applications

    Trash the application Adobe Reader

    [user] / Library/Preferences

    Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file

    To access the [user] / Library, hold down the 'Option' and click on 'Go' in the FInder menu.

    Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe

    Trash the drive (full record)

    Empty the trash.

    Download the installer FULL here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    Quit your browser, and then reinstall the drive.

    Run it from the Applications folder and agree to the license agreement.

    You should have no problem with Safari PDF files download.

    Unfortunately, ANY PDF file that says it is damaged.... You will need their trash.

  • Backup and restore in Windows 7 will not make an incremental backup

    Hello.

    I have about 400 GB of backup files, for most audio (I have a home studio). Backup and restoration continues to do a new backup full instead of an incremental backup. I tried to disable "Windows Media Sharing whatever" and has no effect. I found the registry entry that the so-called forces a backup under certain circumstances, if I understand correctly. I put the value '0' and he still makes no difference - copy Windows files that I know have not changed over the YEARS and to create a new full backup. My current full backup is December 2014 on a 1 TB external hard drive. It is the backup that I added to-probably on a maximum of 20 additional concerts.

    This is important because in 400 concerts, I have neither the time nor the space to do a full backup every time. I searched these forums and around the web and found nothing more disable sharing of Windows Media Services. For now I'm reduced to manually copy the new audio files on a backup drive, which is heavy at least when dealing with the whims of my Audio sequencer for recording methods and organization of files.

    Please let me know how I can make an incremental backup instead of a full backup of my hard drive. Thanks for your help.

    IMHO, I wouldn't play with the built-in backup.  It is, at best, kludgy, depends on the OS partition, is inflexible and not easy to use.

    IMHO, I would not trust my data or spend my time on it.

    I'd take a peek at st Acronis True image home 2015.

  • I use a blu - ray disc as my backup media by using the backup and restore, but windows will say still unable to perform this task

    I have a HP h9 - 1250t and can never use a blu ray disc tp save my work using the command from the windows Explorer which is strange since I use blu - ray disc in my dell xps 14, any help on this?

    Hello edilbertojun,

    Backup stores data in a compressed format on optical drives and blu - ray is an optical device device, I don't think you can use Windows built in backup and restore functionality.

    You must use a backup solution 3rd party backup on the Blu - ray disc.

    I may be wrong so that other members of the community can be better able to solve this problem.

  • (Redirected) Backup and restore with Windows 10 could not be updated

  • How to create a recovery media factory with Dell backup and restore on Windows 10 1.6.2.4 v?

    I got today a Dell inspiron 3521 a customer, without warranty, after some checking, I discovered that the hard disk has errors and needs to be replaced

    No problem, the only problem is... I have no installation of Dell Windows 8 media. The laptop is updated to Windows 10 last year. In programs and features, I see that Dell backup and restore 1.6.2.4 v is installed. When I search the Dell backup or watch all the apps installed I can't find the program. So I can't run the program to create installation floppies

    When I go to:

    program/PC (x 86) / Dell backup and recovery, I see a lot of files and 4 records, but no configuration file.

    So my question is, how do you create a Dell Windows 8 installation media? Can I use after installing the new hard drive, reinstall Windows?

    For good order, I can't, until now still approach the hard drive.

    Who knows the solution to install the software dell of origin on the new drive?

    The application must be updated for Windows 10 - you can get it as a download from Dell.

    However, if 10 is already installed and enabled, you can also manually install WIndows 10 without the need of a product key - that way, however, do retain none of the applications Dell preinstalled on the system (which is not very important, as some of them such as PowerDVD would require a paid upgrade to work with Windows 10 in any case).

    First of all thanks a lot for the reply of my previous post about windows activation.
