Backup Dell or backup Windows 7

Just got my new Studio 15. Looks like two backup systems included: Dell local backup and Windows 7 backup and restore.  It looks like both will create images for backup and recovery of data files.  Which should I use? And why are there at - it a Dell program to do this if Windows already has the capability?

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

You need both. The local backup of Dell to create recovery discs. Then use Windows backup to back up your files on EXTERNAL media. Do not use the D partition on the boot drive. You need a USB key or external hard drive for backups. Windows you will use the recovery partition D but don't use it for anything. Windows is not that the D drive is not a player at all. Read the instructions to create discs here.

    Hello world
    Today, I tried to make my first backup of the computer.
    I tried 4 times now, but still got the same error, something about shots of files that cannot be read.

    original title: backup Windows 7 error code 0 x 81000037

    Hello

    I have the same problem two days ago. However, I had installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) at the beginning when I bought my computer Dell (dec 2010) (I have not used McAfee). Two days ago, I ran backup on my disk network as usual and got the error message, but I noticed that the MSE has detected a threat to java. I decided to uninstall all downloads in two days ago, and the most important was to run a COMPLETE SCAN of MSE. He caught 3 java threats and withdrawn. After that, I ran backup again and it worked perfectly. I hope that this experience will help someone when I post my response.

    My computer is a desktop i-5, Dell, Windows 7 Ultimate, my network drive is connected to Linksys E3000 of Seagate.

    Note 1: I regularly MSE update later.

    Note 2: I went through the so-called "reparse points" and without success.

    Note 3: Download those that I uninstalled everything came from Apple (please don't hurt me I don't like Apple.) I just wanted to test in all circumstances.)

    Exactly the same problem and same solution: run Full scan in MSE (which found a few 'malware' which is associated javea), then uninstall java worked well!

  • Backup Windows install acer aspire 4330

    HI, team of Acer, I use Linux (dual-boot) with windows. I would like to remove windows, how do I backup windows install so if something goes wrong, I can just pop in a disc and reinstall windows? If any other information is needed I can provide.

    Well, while being in disagreement with your decision, I have found this procedure to create a recovery disc for an Acer laptop. Please keep in mind that the process may vary slightly with different patterns:

    To create your recovery backup disks, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start menu, and then click all programs.
    2. In the list of programs, click the Acer file, and then click the Acer eRecovery Management .
    3. User account control Windows may request your permission to run this program, click Yes.
    4. In the Acer eRecovery Management window left click backup, and then click create a default disk factory.
      Note: If you use a laptop or netbook, you will be asked to connect your power adapter, make sure that the power adapter is plugged in before continuing, and then click OK.
    5. In the page to create a default disc factory select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
    6. The disc is ejected whenever he has completed burning, if several drives are required insert a new disc when you are prompted, and then click OK.

  • Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    I do a backup of the 'Normal' at the beginning of the month.  Then, at the end of the first week, I do a "Differential" backup (using the same "backup job" but change to type "Incremental".)

    Well the difference is huge and to study, I see that a lot of files that I don't know that I didn't take the week since the 'Normal' backup have the Archive attribute set.

    Is the 'Normal' compensation not the bit mode backup of archive?  Another thing would be randomly set the attributes to archive?  Is there a ghost in the machine?  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hello

    Differential backup marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). This is normal.

  • Backup Windows will not open

    When I try to start the Windows backup or by going into Start Programs/Accessories/backup or by double-clicking the backup file, I am interested in the restoration of I get a small blank window with the title "backup utility".  The Task Manager shows that the ntbackup.exe process is running, but it is does accumulate no time CPU and do no readings or writings.

    I will try to reinstall the program, but since I have XP Pro instead of XP Home my Windows CD doesn't have the '\ValueAdd\Msft\Ntbackup on the CD folder '.

    Any suggestions on why ntbackup.exe behaves this way?  Is it possible to get the installer ntbackup so I can reinstall?

    I don't know if it's important or not, but last year I installed Norton Security Suite, which includes its own backup utility.  Unfortunately, its default filters save the Directory Application Data that I need to restore, where my need to use the utility backup window.

    Note: The version of the service pack on CD must match the version of the service pack installed on the computer.
    d. restart the computer and check the difference.

    See Windows XP Scan SFC

    Step 2: If the problem persists, check if you can run backup in safe mode to see if another program is causing the problem in normal mode
    a. see the Description of the Mode of course in Windows XP startup options
    b. in the menu advanced startup options select Safe mode and press on enter.
    c. check to see if you can run backup.

    Step 3: If the problem does not persist in safe mode, check if a non-Microsoft program is causing the problem

    b. in the article, follow the method 1 and method 2 to find out if any program is causing the problem.
    c. Once you have found the culprit that is the program that is causing the problem, then uninstall it.

  • Windows 7 backup error: "backup Windows ignored C:\Users\... because it's on corrupt C:\ drive.»

    Hello

    I bought a new computer recently with Windows 7 installed and regularly use Windows backup since my purchase with no problems.  However, a couple of days, I tried to backup my system and received a message saying that the backup completed, but some files were ignored.  As soon as the journal view, that's what I find:

    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    Backup Windows ignored C:\Users\Jonathan\Saved games as it is on corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Searches backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    It seems that Windows Backup jumped basically every valuable piece of data on my PC.  I did a search for answers and it seems that when people have this problem backup Windows still do not know the same libraries (pretend to prove that it is not a problem of material with the HARD drive). and the only suggestion I could find was to run the chkdsk utility, then attempt a backup again.  I have since run the utility chkdsk twice and it found no errors, and I continue to have this problem when you save.

    Beyond running the chkdsk utility and reboot for a third time, can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think that this is the case because of a virus (incase your pc is not protected or a new threat has developed).

    Please install an antivirus.
    I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials.Scan all the files and then try again.
    Or try freeing up space on the drive you store the backup in the c DRIVE.
    or try to move your important files to an external USB key or hard drive and format your pc :)
    That will solve almost all your problems.
    In case you need help with anything else or this does'nt resolve your problem, mail me or reply to this post of mine.

  • Backup Windows disabled by Acronis True Image 2011

    I discovered that the uninstallation of Acronis True Image 2011 will disable the Windows 7 backup program. The link is displayed on the Control Panel, but clicking on it does nothing. I've read elsewhere that the problem may be that Acronis mess up the registry of Windows, but I don't know how to fix this and hesitate to try. Acronis seems indifferent to the fixing of the problem - their proposed solution is that I just keep using Acronis and forget to backup Windows. I would appreciate the help.

    I would also say that this exposes a vulnerability in Windows 7. It should prevent the modification of the behavior of the windows installed programs or at least ask for permission until it is granted.

    This does not have the problem, I've identified, which is that the UNINSTALL Acronis True Image Home leaves disabled Windows backup. Fixing the problem requires the user to modify the Windows registry. Changes have now been contributed by a user and Acronis continues to refuse to address the problem.

  • Backup Windows not pretend "enough space".

    Backup Windows refuses to create a new Image system because it claims that the goal to drive (the drive on which the image will be placed) doesn't have the space available. It is an incorrect Windows evaluation, as the System Image is ~ 32 GB, and the target drive has about 360 GB of available. The full error message is the following: "Windows Backup skipped backup system image because one of the critical volumes is not having enough free space. Free up space by deleting unnecessary files and try again. "Error code: 0 x 81000033 as there are a few grammatical mistakes in this error message (for example,"is not having enough"should read 'don't have enough', which indicates a person who does not speak English natively wrote the message), I suspect that there may be an intrusion to blame (polite way of saying"foul play"), but Microsoft Security Essentials , or Malwarebytes detects no virus or other.

  • Restoring an incremental backup Windows 7

    This may seem a stupid question, but it's confusing in the interface.  I want to restore my backup files of the Windows (from the control panel).  There are two dates when I did a backup of Windows.  When I go through the Restore Wizard, he mentions the 'backup period' and makes it sound as if the restoration will contain only the difference between these two dates.

    This means that if I want to restore all my files, I must first restore the previous backup and then restore it later, so that I can get those files that changed between two backups?

    Or if I just restore the most recent backup, Windows automatically give me all files that have been backed up?

    Hello

    1. have you deleted all the files between two backups?

    2. what kind of backup do you have?

    If you deleted all the files between old and recent backup, this file is not there in the recent backup. If you have a full backup of the system, all files on the computer that the precise date will be there in the backup.
