Backup of my PC W7 - help

Hello there,

After reading some of the other answers givin, I am now totally confused.

I have W7 and have been backed up on a 'clone' usb HD. But always with difficulty.  Now, I think

sound never really worked and I could be in a world of pain.  I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong.

When I tried this afternoon, my PC is not even hired my clone.

Could someone help me please with this and how do I tell my computer to shut up to make backups.

It really starts to yell at me and I don't know how to set up and it turned off.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Binner,

As we know that formatting USB hard drive will erase the data. So I suggest you to try to connect the USB hard drive to the different port. If it fails, connect it to another computer. If the hard drive works fine in another computer, copy the data on the hard drive to a different drive.

If the USB hard drive does not work in another computer, you may need to format, and then perform the backup.

    'Préparation' is going to take ages if you did a Hard Reset on the Time Capsule.

    Make sure that you are not trying to save more wireless, which will take 3 - 5 times longer, on average, that direct Ethernet connection between your Mac and the time Capsule.

    Even with a direct Ethernet connection, you might see "Préparation" for a few hours before the real return to start.

    What should I do?  Thanks /.

    Hi Winston,

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is running.

    a. click Start, type services.msc in the start search.

    b. find the shadow copy volume service.

    c. right-click on the Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) and select Properties. Check if it is started.

    d. If it is stopped, select Start or restart. Make sure that the service is started and set as Automatic.

    e. click apply and OK, if you make any changes.

    Method 2: Check if you delete temporary files using the computer. Disk Cleanup allows you to do the same thing.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 3: I suggest that you unplug any external drive connected to the computer except the keyboard and mouse.

    This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that you run a scan SFC (System File Checker) that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    Method 2: If the method above does not resolve the problem, then I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state and then try to backup.

  • All my backup files are archived, need help

    I'm trying to restore backup files do everything on time. However, they are in a weird format (photos can be found here):

    http://s1194.Photobucket.com/albums/aa374/gRave_blade/?action=view¤t=Snap1.jpg

    So basically, as it is now, I would manually search each one to find what I want. does anyone know a better solution than that? any help is greatly appreciated.

    I had simular problems but found that if you open the program that created the backup files there is usually an option to restore. Use this and it should put them all back where they came from and some offer a new place where to put them. I think you could transfer beable to mass. Create a folder on your desktop label everything you remember you say photos from photobucket. Go to photobucket where your photos are and click on the first file, then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last file then right click in the area highlight and you should get an option in there to copy, click on it then right on the folder that you created and click on paste and a copy of their planned to transfer everything to the folder.

    Hope this works for you, it should.

    Good luck

  • laptop computer starts in safe mode, can't backup recovery, system used retore help

    My laptop starts in safe mode, I can't make systems, backup files recovery failed, do not have a vista disk to run vista, need help

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • It's safe I have delete my backup of data files? -Help-

    I am running a windows 7 Ultimate and I was just wondering if it is safe to delete my backup file because it takes a huge amount of space. And data backup files continue to grow and more and more, they can take a huge amount of space! With mine it reached 71 Go all of a sudden and I really who has not noticed until that moment!


    There is an option called view backups and when I open it, it shows me the backup file that contains a Go Go 71! and when I clicked once, he asks me if I want to remove it. So please help me guys, I'm really confused... is it safe?


    It's just like that...




    I said that your backup doesn't seem to work correctly because the image of your backup you posted above does not appear weekly backups and there is no way you have 71.5GBs data unless you have a lot of photographs and others.  Try your backup again and see what happens.  You can experiment as well now that you have removed your old backup. It won't matter if you delete again at this stage. It's only further down the road if you lose some of your data and you need to restore the lost data backup is useless. Let me know how you get on if you wish.  See you soon

    If necessary try an InPlace upgrade/repair facility that allows to keep the

    the previous methods according to the needs.

    You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own

  • With the help of a backup on an external hard drive to transfer files to a new computer.

    I recently got a new computer and I need to transfer my files via my new computer. Both computers running Windows 7. I have an external hard drive that has all my files from my old computer on it. I went into the control panel configuration, then system and security, and then in the backup and restore. I then clicked on "select another backup to restore files from" and looked for my external drive. I made sure that it was connected and up-to-date as well. However, he never showed up.

    I would like to manually just transfer the files, but it seems as if there are readers split on this computer for 'BONES' and 'DATA '. For this reason, I'm not sure which car I'd put even files on.

    How can I transfer these files?

    Hello

    I understand that you are having problems with the restoration of the backup files of the external hard drive. Correct me if I misunderstood the question.

    (1) what is the version of Windows 7 is installed on your computer?

    (2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    (3) you receive an error message when you try to restore?

    I suggest you to consult and follow the steps in the links and check if the problem persists.

    Tried to backup again. Same mistake.

    I opened the backup to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/and folder found a file with the UDID even as my phone. Delete!

    Still the same error.

    I tried the repair of backup program decipher without result.

    I repeated steps countless times. Once again, without success.
