    I'll give you a full explanation on what is my problem, so that it will make it easier to answer if all goes well. I use Windows Vista and decided it was time that I backed up my files. After clicking on the tab "back up files", I then got a dialog box asking "how many times you want to create a back up" so I chose "per week" on "Sunday" at 19:00. "There is a message that goes down"because it's your first backup, windowws will create a new, full backup now. However when I click on the 'Save settings and start backup' tab I get the message "file back up could not save your automatic backup settings for the following reason.

  • Windows Backup and Restore problem

    I have created an incremental backup for a while (since January) on a disk external drive plugged my USB2.0.

    Recently my computer crashed and I did a new install of Vista.
    After the update to Vista, I decided to restore my files from the outside.

    I did the restore advanced, and it finds all the files and the backup. But when I continue to make the effective restoration, it gives me a "the backup file is not found. Check your hardware configuration or restore from a backup different (0x8100001A). »
    I checked the permissions and all members have full control of everything.

    I also tried to change the drive letter, but no dice.

    The strange thing is that concludes the backup, and if I click on "Add files", he finds my backed up files! But when I proceed to restore, it only will not do.

    Any ideas?

    Hi OrangeL89,
     
    This problem can occur because the Mediaid.bin file is missing. The Mediaid.bin file may be missing if you move the backup directory to another location.
     
    If the backup directory is on a different drive or a different file share, and the original backup location is still available, follow these steps to resolve the problem:

    1. Search the root directory of the drive or the file share where the backup was originally stored.
    2. Copy the Mediaid.bin file.
    3. Locate the root directory of the location where the backup is currently stored.
    4. Paste the Mediaid.bin file.

      For example, if the original backup location is drive D and that the backup has been moved to the E drive, copy the Mediaid.bin file located in the root directory of drive D to the root directory of drive E.

    5. Try to restore another backup file.

    Alternatively, you can follow the article below:
     
    Error message when you use the option restore files to restore a backup file on a Windows Vista-based computer: "the restoration has not completed successfully. "Error code: 0x8100001A.

    Hi lemdy,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  Restart your computer and press the F8 key until you reach the Advanced Startup Options menu.  Select Safe Mode.  Once your computer Safe Mode, do a System Restore to a date prior to the installation of unwanted software.  You have an antivirus installed on your computer?  If this isn't the case, you can analyze your computer by using the Windows Live OneCare free PC safety scan.

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

  • Problems of restoring a backup of Windows Vista backup and restore program

    I recently had to completely reinstall Windows XP, then the Vista upgrade, to fix a problem with updates of Microsoft.NET and ATI graphic driver.  In may, I made a full backup of my laptop using Vista resident backup and restore program, using an external hard drive to store the backup.  When I learned that I had to reinstall the operating system, I did another backup in August (but not complete) using the same program.  Just after this backup in August, I did the reinstallation of operating systems, with the help of the phone of Dell.  My original problems are solved.

    When I was ready to use the restore the Vista program, I had to choose among the two sets of data (May to August) about which I wanted to restore on my laptop.  I chose August, thinking that it would be later.  However, in Outlook, all my saved e-mail messages are gone, I have no e-mail address book and any current calendar entries.  These are the only things I noticed up to this and are not, but I have not checked all the files... they are large enough.

    The folder on my laptop which normally contains my Outlook data files shows only a file Archive and the very small current .pst data file for 7 messages in my Inbox.

    It seems that the backup of August was important to may backup and maybe most of my Outlook data are in the may backup.  How to get data from two backups in my laptop?  When the backup is a folder with the same name, you have the opportunity to write about it, not copy, or copy it and have 2 folders.

    I tried to copy all the data from the external hard drive in the folder of Outlook data on my laptop.  It will eventually be several files, and Outlook reads only the more recent, so I don't always get access to the data that I hope is here!

    Can someone please?  My life is in my calendar, I lost years of e-mail addresses, and much saved messages that contain important data.  Thank you!

    Hello

    You must import the Outlook.pst files from backups in your current Outlook. Copy your gift
    Outlook.pst file somewhere else as a backup incase you made a mistake. If necessary you can IMPORT
    New in Outlook. If you import all your old Outlook.pst files into your new perspective you should have the
    total sum of all. Import e-mail messages, and then click contacts.

  • Vista 64-bit Home Premium Backup and Restore

    -What is the backup program included with Vista 64-bit Home Prem supposed to create backup files in WinZip?

    Hi VanHylant,

    A backup file is a copy of a file that is stored in a separate location from the original.

    The backup file will have a .bkf file name extension. So let us try to uninstall Winzip and see if the problem is resolved.

  • Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

    Dear Madam, dear Sir

    Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

    The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

    Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

    Mmmm nice ideas...

    Thanks in advance

  • MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

    I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

  • Can I download or buy MS complete PC Backup and restore to my Home Premium Vista or a third-party equivalent?

    I've been on a computer for a year so there are a lot of things and I do not know, I had a virus my corrupted files and I had to wipe the hard drive and I want my system backup procedures. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a platform bit 68 I found it didn't have the complete PC Backup and restore program for backup. The system I save file, but not programs I could download, as I understand it, this program is in Business or Ultimate Vista OS so I wonder if I can download this program on my computer? Either the backup program by itself, or the program professional/ultimate, preferably something that is free.  Or can I download another program that does the same job? I found that I can backup to a virtual server, mounting vhd and MS virtual machine so I have this in mind too, for any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    No, you can not download this complete Vista PC Backup program and there is no platform bit 68 (try 64 bit)

    as you have Vista home Premium to will have to use 3rd party software to do

    Here is one you have to buy.

  • Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

    I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

    But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

    "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

    Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

    No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.
