Backup of hard drive (C).

HP Pavilion Slimline desktop computer.

Vista operating system

I tried to back up my hard disk (C) in the drive (D). I got there by "START", "Control Panel", "backup and Restore Center." In the backup and Restore Center, I clicked on "Backup Files". This sent the backup on the D drive. By clicking on start > computer it shows I have two drives of DART, C & D. The D drive is labeled "recovery (D when I tried to make a backup of drive C to drive D. drive D is full and I get warnings that say that the D drive is full.). I have the following information is displayed in the D drive:

  • Larry PC (under the name of) 24/02/2012 14:13 (under the date modified) file (depending on Type) size of the file folder is empty
  • Recovery (under the name of) 2010-04-27 19:32 (under the date modified) files (depending on Type) file size is empty
  • MediaID.bin (under the name of) 24/02/2012 14:09 (under the modification date) BIN (depending on Type) file file size is 1 KB

I was told that this was not the intended use of the "recovery (D TRUE OR FALSE?). What can I delete and how recovery D for example. I get a window "Low disk space" arise and it becomes aggrevating.

Once I get the drive D fixed I'll support the C drive to a flash drive.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Here is a page explaining how to access and clean the recovery partition.

  • Previews old stalemate in backups from hard drive

    When I backup my hard drive to another hard drive, using software of Vica-Versa, there are often many (thousands) of former LR preview files that should be deleted on the backup drive.  With Vica-Versa just failed process and can take forever.  I tried several other backup programs and that you have found no solution.  Is there a way to prevent the creation of previews of all LR?  I know that would slow me as I work with Lightroom, but right now I'd be willing to wait a little longer for an overview to be reconstructed only so must be faced with the incredible amount of time it takes to backup my hard drive.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.  Frank.  [email protected]

    Frank,

    You don't really need to backup your previews. You can't tell your backup for just program save the LR database and skip the previews? It seems a better solution that having not realized at all, which would make it nearly totally useless LR.

    Most backup programs will allow you to select what is backed up. If yours is not, perhaps a better solution would be to find another.

  • Time machine backup external hard drive

    Hi all

    I'm looking to move my iTunes library to a new drive external hard to free up space on my iMac storage internal 1 TB drive.

    My concern is the Machine of the time's up, is it possible that I can set it up so it will save the new external hard drive which will be my iTunes library folder?

    I am currently using Time Capsule with my iMac, but wonder if I can use it with the external hard drive.

    Any info or advice would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    Backups Time Machine is up as the startup disk (which is actually a volume and not a disc), it backs up external drives or other volumes on the internal drive.  If you want to save to an external drive to a Time Capsule and then use Finder to copy the files or search for third party software that automatically copies files.

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nick

    Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  • of backup external HARD drive

    I'm trying to save and my external HARD drive does not have enough space. Should I remove a previous upwards to make room for a new back upward?

    Thank you

    Using Time Machine for backups? If so, you should not remove anything if you want the backup to be valid.

    What you need to do is to get a bigger external hard drive. It is recommended to have a backup disk that is at least 3 times bigger than the drive that you are backing up.

  • backup external hard drive does not not to 8.1

    Updated to 8.1 and now my external Iomega hard drive (for weekly backup) now does not work. He appears in the "devices", but then backup will not recognize it as a valid to continue my backup option. Suggestions please?

    Hi UKPOL,

    Please refer to the how to Geek article.

    8.1 win can't stand a GUI for the backup files or imaging system. You have to use powershell or Win 8.1 reset/refresh options.

    You can also create custom refresh images. See this article. The instructions also work with Win 8.1.

    You will need to use third-party backup to back up files and folders.

    What you try to do is not the Windows installation files back up but the creation of recovery disks.
    For some reason of original Toshiba recovery image cannot be found or detected on the HARD drive. I don t know what that you did, but it can happen if hidden recovery partition is deleted or partition structure has been changed.

  • Inherit backup external hard drive history never asked?

    After I set up my new iMac, I did a new migration between my old Macbook Pro and iMac. Migration process went perfectly, but when connecting my external hard drives with my Time machine backups I expected to see the option: "inherit the backup history. I asked before on this forum, because I was wondering what to expect and wanted to ensure that I can could continue my TM backups on the new iMac. See the link:

    https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7113665

    But the question "Inherit the backup history" is never applied when plugin my TM backup hard disks only the option 'new backup"and my question is why? And how this can be solved? Hope that someone knows more about this and can help me, would be much appreciated!

  • Time Machine backup external hard drives

    I've been using Time Machine to back up to an external hard drive.  External hard drive backups are visible in TimeMachine when the external hard drive is connected to the computer. How can I see the backups if the external drive is lost?

    External hard drive backup is buried in the backup.

    I strongly recommend using an alternative backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner. Allows you to separate the backups. Time Machine does not work.

  • Best way backup external hard drives?

    SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

    CURRENT BACKUP METHOD: I have three external hard drives (200 GB, 300GB, 750GB) all connected via USB.  I use the 750Go to back up the data on my 200 and 300 GB.  Currently, I manually copy all the files from the 750 GB smaller hard drives to save them.  It's very tedious because it takes about 5 hours to copy 200 GB of data.

    QUESTION: I've never used the 'Backup Now' tool (right click on the drive / properties / tools / backup now) to back up external hard drives.  It would be a better option for me instead of manually copying files to a post of h/d to another?  Can I automate backups?  How can I retrieve the backup should I need the data backup?

    Thank you very much

  • Backup external hard drive

    I recently bought a computer with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I attached an external hard drive to it. I want to keep the clean C drive with only the OS and programs held on this subject. The external hard drive contains files of data and images. I have attached a second external hard drive to the computer. I want to be able to plan a backup from the first disk to the second external drive, but the backup and Recovery wizard seems to allow only a backup of the drive C. is there something that I am missing in the wizard? Or is there something else I can do for my first external backup drive?

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi rdenn_58,

    Thanks for posting your request.

    The back up files Wizard, included in Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista professional, Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, allows you to save your files and data from an external hard drive, CD, DVD, network location and also a secondary hard drive. Although there is no option to schedule a backup to an external drive to a second external drive using the Back Up Files Wizard.

    To copy or move files from one external drive to another, you can use the following steps:

    You can create a backup of the files on a CD or DVD before you copy or move files.

    To copy the files from the first disk to the second external drive, you can use Windows Explorer by going to: start > click computer > double click on the drive letter for the first external drive and then copy the files / folders that you want to back up, and then paste the second external disk drive by opening a second window of the computer. You can also drag and drop files from the first disk to the second external drive using Windows Explorer.

    For reference below is a useful link to more information. using the backup center and restoration:
