backup of system files

any body knows exactly what backup incase my windows files get currupted files or computer crash

Hi juliosan,

You can back up all the files and folders that are important to you, so that you can keep them in the case of a computer crash.

Only, you will be able to back up files and folders and not the system files because they cannot be copied, if there are malfunctions in the system.

  • I have that one saved backup system, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

    I run the Windows Image backup to a hard drive external on a weekly schedule. The result shows on the hard drive as "WindowsImageBackup\(User name)-PC\Backup (date) (number)"-currently about 80 GB (binary).

    I reserve about 135 GB of available space for backups of the system, so I save only the last backup of the system.

    So far, I have no problem with that.

    However, the disk hard, there is another folder '(USER NAME)-PC' & under which is a folder "backup of files (date) (number)" for each time that the backup system runs.

    These files vary considerably in size - for example, 1 GB, 12 GB, 22 GB. They delete or replace automatically - just, they accumulate.

    What I want to know is ~.

    What is the purpose\importance of these additional files?

    Since I only have a single saved backup, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

  • Windows 7 backup (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    I'm NOT under a system dual boot, OR trying to save to an external drive.
     
    I get the following error message after you run backup.
    Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Audio Interviews Etc. error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))
    The Audio Interviews etc folder does NOT exist on my HD.  I know because I deleted it.
    It would seem that the backup uses a master list to determine which files should be saved and where are these files.
    I ran regedit looking for some Audio Interviews and did not get a hit.
    I also ran sfc/scannow and without errors, etc. were found.  "... Windows resource protection did not find any breach of integrity... »
    Where is this list and can remove Audio Interviews Etc. She?
    Create a folder called Audio Interviews etc in the folder systemprofile seems a kludgy way to deal with this issue.
    Suggestions/answers would be appreciated.

  • Why Windows 7 did install system files on my secondary internal hard drive, preventing it to be formatted or considered a Windows backup location?

    My computer has a Seagate hard drive 500 GB internal SATA that has the operating system on it and also a secondary internal Seagate IDE HDD 80 GB that I was drag files on a backup. I tried to format this drive of 80 GB to get a fresh start and use Windows backup to back up my files. Windows 7 will not format the drive, and he does not see the drive as a location of backup because apparently the clean installation of the Windows operating system, updated system files on the secondary drive. Disk management reports the operating system drive (500 GB one) as "disk 1-Boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition. It reports the secondary drive (the 80 GB one I would use with Windows Backup) as "disk 0-system, active, primary Partition". I would very probably disconnect the secondary drive and do other clean install of Windows 7, so he places all the files on the hard drive and do not involve the secondary drive, so I can format the secondary drive and use backup Windows? Or y at - it another way to fix this without doing a clean install? Thanks for any help!

    To create a new, full backup

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

      Note

      You will see this option if your backup is saved on CD or DVD.

    You should be able to create a backup on the disk USB 2.0 to your content

    a former Mac PPC; the files could be read by applications or made

    be opened by apps later (or those who converted to the future, if possible.)

    The limits for rotational USB or USB flash drives were related

    the inability of the OS X to start the old Macs for these drives. The

    the files themselves should be OK to be read from said readers.

    You may be sure choose "ignore permissions" as appropriate

    on the drives where the old user accounts can stifle access to their content. Or

    create a duplicate of the old files on a different drive, convert the need

    for a more recent application. You can make a duplicate of the old together

    do large duplicates. Disk utility can make a disk image. Other applications

  • Lack of button "clean up system files".

    I tried to run Disk Cleanup and clear up some space winsxs takes too much space, but I noticed that the button "Clean up system files" is missing. I use Windows 7 Ultimate

    A new feature has been added to cleaning disc in October 2013, which is not available in cCleaner. You must change the existing settings to take advantage of the new feature. Type Disk Cleanup in the search above the Start button box and press ENTER. Click OK and after the calculation of space, you will see a window with a list of files to delete. Use the right-hand scroll bar to see the entries hidden further down the list. Check the boxes in front of the backup of the Service Pack files and cleaning Windows Update and click OK if you don't see cleaning of Windows Update then click clean up system files .

  • Windows 7 backup the .pst file

    I am using windows 7 backup and restore files from backup on a portable drive external usb. When I look in the files*.zip of backup, I don't find my local Outlook .pst file. Backup and restore tell me that this file was skipped. Why this file should be excluded from the backup? What is the size of the 5 GB .pst file?

    You need to do a small amount of work at home in order to determine the current settings on your machine. If you let Windows choose what should be saved and then the user AppData folder is included in the backup:
    Let Windows choose

    If you let Windows choose what is backed up, the following items are included in your backup:

    Data files that are saved in libraries, on the desktop and by default to the Windows folders for all people with a user account on the computer.

    Notes

    • Only local files in libraries are included in the backup. If you have files in a library that are saved on a drive located on a different computer on a network, on the Internet, on the same drive that you are saving the backup on, or on a drive that is not formatted using the NTFS file system, they are not included in the backup.

    • The default Windows folders include AppData, Contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, links, saved parties and searches.

    If you have made your choice, then you go and do control the folders that you have included in your choice:

    Since there is no brand graduation against my AppData folder, it will not be saved.

  • Backup and System Image say they work but are not

    Win 7 HP 64-bit running on desktop.

    Quick story: my mother just died. I had been using Windows automatic backup and backup system image, recorded on an external hard drive. When the computer was in the store, I tried to restore some files to the backup, but the majority of my files were simply not there.  I thought I had done something wrong or maybe all the drama with multiple accidents and my attempts to correct (before I realized that it was the motherboard) had somehow messed up.

    Current: New motherboard, has got a new hard drive so I was, reinstalled the same Windows 7 HP and all other programs.  Erase all of the external hard drive and backup of Windows files is represented.  He gave me no errors.  So I ran system image backup.  He also didn't give no error, but I noticed that the amount of free space on my external hard drive had not changed.  Properties of folder displays the WindowsImageBackup folder is 0 bytes.

    I tried to restore the backup of the files to be sure, it worked this time, but found the same problem as before.  When I browse for the files (or files), it shows the C: drive, and while a single folder (users) appears.  (The last time I think I had two other records.)  Within the users, I have some subfolders but not others.  Even for subfolders that arise, they lack the subfolders and files.  I don't see any specific model to which is registered or not, but I'm missing perhaps 80-90% of my data.

    To be clear, that the backup process has been totally standard - nothing personal, no more than one partition, nothing complicated - and I have not received any error.  Windows Backup and Restore thinks that everything is fine.  And yet, I have in fact a backup of files complete or apparently any system image.

    Any ideas on what is wrong?  Thank you!!

    Well, the new backup, in which I pointed out all the folders/files to save rather than let Windows choose, seems to have worked.  When I try to restore files, it shows me all the various files I have on the C drive and the files users (including Dropbox).  So my current theory is that something is not quite right about the Windows files chooses, since it must really understand all the same.  But at least it seems I found a way around it.  Thank you!
