Backup and restore will not format disk

I try to use Backup and Restore. When I click on the back of the files, I get a pop-up box that asks me to format the drive. After clicking on the Format, the following pop up box says unsuccessful Format. Sometimes, he also disk write-protected. I use Vista Home Premium and using an optical DVD +/-RW drive. I was unable to find anything on it. Has anyone else had this problem? What I can do. I check all the settings I can. Thanks for any help.

Would you consider investing in an external USB drive and use it as your backup media.  This will work part-time full support until CD as the only hold about 700 MB of data and your hard drive is perhaps in a fit of 250 GB, what amounts to a large number of CD on current prices an external drive will pay for itself within a very short time and you are mucking around with several CD

He needs that a defective CD or an unexpected shutdown to occur and you may lose all your backup met before this type of failure.  If you must use the CD then just use them to backup your important data.  If you need to perform a full restore, it may be faster in the long term to perform a recovery operation by using your installation media rather than feeding in a multitude of CD.

One thing that I met, if you buy the CD on the main roads, is that, if they are not stored properly, at home or in a store, the last few CD inside tend to stick to the neighbor CD, which is not a good thing.

My personal choice is to use a third-party imaging software to back up the entire partition or drive.  I save on a different hard drive installed.  You can use the external hard drive, I tried to sell you.  The entire backup (40 GB) takes about 10 minutes, with a restoration taking around the same time.  I double save my data more valuable, as well, of other external media, like USB, DVD, etc.

  • backup and restore will not upgraded

    I'm about to go from 8.1 to 10 & followed a Dell advises pop-up on upgrading the version of BACKUP and RESTORE I want to make sure that I have the system & data backup before you take the leap win10

    It's R & B will supposedly start the download to install the upgraded version but then disappears. I checked the Task Manager and I can't follow what happened to R & B. I opened/re-opened several times, but I get the same result.

    Please can someone advise? I've been trawling the net for a possible solution without success.

    Hi all

    I gave up on the dell system backup B & a. Note there was a premium account.

    I did as Okaganafan suggested and backed up my data using Windows history file. I have win8.1 & the system maximum return was not available. But I managed to manually run the Windows Image backup.

    I also took a manual backup of my data to an external drive, created an ISO to win 8.1 (just in case).

    The win10 upgrade was painless, even if, as expected, it took some time. It has been ~ 24 hours well. Dell B R & updated now too & suggest that do all kinds of disks of backup & recovery. I'll make those soon.

    I am really disappointed with the Dell Premium B & r t was no help!

  • Win 7 Backup and Restore does not recognize the USB flash drives.

    Win 7 Backup and Restore does not recognize the USB flash drives for a backup image or a recovery disc.  Given that Windows 7 Starter Edition is used in many, if not most of the netbooks and netbooks have no optical drive, support for flash (thumb) drives would be very handy, especially for repair and recovery.

  • Backup and restore does not recognize my external HARD drive.

    When I try to use the ms backup and restore it only recogniza my external HARD drive.

    Is that possible reinstall or repair?

    Hello daniloalvesmaciel,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    First of all, I could check and see if the hard drive is listed on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Clickhere for a link to the Compatibility Center. If it's on the Compatibility Center, then check out the web site of the manufacturer for updates or drivers.

    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.

    I understand that hot backups can be done with noarchivelog and data will be inconsistent.

    Fix.

    However, the database should not be able to recover some data are there in data files and commissioning normally.

    This is my question and my concern. I looked for Metalink and couldn't find anything about it.

    I want to start the database with all this that data is present after the backup. All the solutions for such a scenario?

    If you took an offline backup, you can recover the database to restore all the files and bring services up (without recovery is needed here).

    And, as you mentioned "hot backups can be done with noarchivelog and data will be inconsistent.

  • Backup and restore do not respond

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 Professional installed on a Dell laptop computer Vostro (work computer).  We use windows backup backup each laptop, and she recorded this info on our Windows Server 2008.  I had him daily backup, and it had worked well for a long time.  Two months ago it suddenly stopped working.  I went to start the backup manually - through the restore backup dialog &.  I would like to click on the button to say "save now" and the circular icon timer would indicate it was working/thinking for a second, then nothing would happen.  More information - I do not have and have never had Acronis True Image, which is the common cause of this problem based on my research.  I can set up the parameters of the backup-there just never starts the program.  In addition, all the world backups in my office work very well.

    So I troubleshoot-made it for a while, and that's what I've done so far:

    I checked services - they are on

    I looked at the logs for Windows backup - the last entry says he had run February 19, no error and nothing since then.

    I have reset the backup & restore via a registry change - problem persists

    I tried to do a system restore, but I did not restore from February points (the question started February 19th)

    I uninstalled all the programs installed around this date (just google reader & Skype, but I thought at least I could exclude)

    I've done countless restarts

    I tried to do a repair of the boot in the boot menu (F8) - once again, nothing.

    I don't know what else to try at this point.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Erica

    After putting together the newspaper of errors, I looked at Windows backup box in the Task Scheduler, and somehow, he had set up for Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008 instead of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.  I changed it to be configured for Windows 7, etc, right click on the name to run now, and it worked!  So I think I am well now.  Thanks :)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones trying to backup and restore - pin not recognized

    I hope someone can help me!

    I'm trying to back up my data on my 8320 and my pin code is not recognized.  I downloaded the software, while the phone was NOT connected.

    Is it possible that this issue MAY have something to do with the company's server?  I've owned my blackberry for years.  When I took a new job, I asked my personal blackberry to be hung on the server of the company.  When I left the company, I have asked that it be removed from my blackberry.  I have not tried to save the data for this time.  I'm changing phones and my pin code is not recognized.  Further study revealed that the IT security certificate is always on the phone.  Could this be why I can't save the data?

    Are there other options to move the data to the new phone without wiping data from my old phone?  I need to transfer my saved e-mail messages, entries in the calendar and contacts of 1111 to my new phone.

    Does anyone have a solution for me?

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
    -
    You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
    -
    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
