Backup on a USB

I am running Windows 7 and you want to back up to a 32 GB USB key. Although I insert the memory stick into a USB port on my computer don't see or does not recognize. What should I do?

A DVD is indeed a valid backup media.  In some ways better because it is a form of physical media that cannot be damaged or erased, as long as keep you it clean and safe.  Problem with DVD for most people it's ability.  It holds about 4.7 gigabytes, and for many people, it takes a lot of them.

It adds that, creating DVD takes a long time - as many times as of writing on an external drive.  The large external disks are just not that expensive.

  • SanDisk Ultra Backup 8 GB USB unable to view copied files unless the originals are still on the PC HARD drive?

    This could be me be stupid... but please humor if I am because I'm not supertechie - but I'm backup me of my hard drive on the SanDisk Ultra Backup USB drive using "SanDisk Backup" - if I leave the copies of the files on my disk hard original PC (the folder I'm backup of) I am able to view the files on the Flash drive.  If I delete the original files from the PC, I only have the ability to restore files from the USB Flash drive?

    The question of having an external device is to take the PC files and use elsewhere?  Is it possible to display the files on the USB key that you need to keep the original files on your PC?

  • Dell Backup and Recovery USB drive

    Recently, I bought an XPS 8700 and running Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1.  I was going on the creation of a backup/recovery disk only to discover, you can't actually create disc and it must be done via a USB flash drive, or in my case, an external hard drive.  I don't care to have my partitioned external HD when I thought I was going on the creation of the recover 'floppy '.  Is it possible to redo on a USB flash drive now?

    Thanks in advance!

    There are several partitions on the hard drive of a laptop including the system partition, the system reserved partition, partitions of data and for some manufacturers like Lenovo, they even create a partition of OneKey recovery on their products. To save partitions much one is really annoying. In this case, you can just do a backup image for all of the hard disc instead of backup of all of the partitions on this disk.see more

  • How to make a backup recovery disk (usb) for my new XPS8700?

    Hello

    Please bear with me as I'm pretty much computer illiterate.

    I just bought a Dell XPS8700 with Win8.1 for my partner for Christmas.  It came with 2 TB HD cache & 32 GB of SSD.  Round 6 months. from now on I intend to buy a 120 GB SSD for upgrading its system & will use for the operating system.   I do not know how to do this (I have an idea... looked. vids online, etc.), but what I need to know is > how to make a backup for its new computer recovery disk (so that I can put it aside for when I get the new SSD).  I don't even know if that's actually what you still call it (recovert disc?) or if it is called "backup of factory drive?

    Basically, I want to put Win8.1 on a USB key so I can use this more later to reinstall it on an SSD.

    I bought a Lexar 32 GB USB (3.0) to use for this.

    Can someone "please" give me a step by step on how to go about doing this?

    Thank you!

  • How to use R & amp; R for backup on external USB HDD?

    Hello, I have two Lenovo workstations and we Desktop and other is Thinkpad and I want it to be saved on a single 1 TB external hard drive and I can't seem to backup both of them on external HD single.

    It seems that this does not work with only 1 TB HD no longer and well I format NTFS Partition with a primary active status and unique.

    Second, if I have divided into two partitions, the first work then and the other fails.

    The operating system on two workstations are running with Win-7 and using the same version of R & R.

    Are there documents to back up several workstations using R & R and yes I have read some forums on this topic but was not clear.

    No matter what docs, you can provide details would greatly apprecaite it.

    Thanks in advance.

    You back up your entire computer, if it is infected.

    You back up your files and SCAN them before putting back them in your own computer, in the case of an infection in them.

  • How to make an ESXi backup on USB?

    I have a few servers ESXi 4.1 on USB keys. Now I wonder how can I save the config ESXi and USB itself, in which case the USB will be dead or damaged? One of the USB key on a single server is already showing the signs to go to rest forever, and I would like to have a backup of it. Is there a tool I can use to create a backup on another USB key?

    xcom1000 wrote:

    Thanks, I was looking for some kind of script. And the backup process itself is ok, but the restore configuration procedure needs to be alive and running of the ESXi host. So in case of emergency (USB key works do not), what would be the correct procedure to restore the server without hollow is a complete reinstallation of ESXi and reload the config with vicfg-cfgbackup?

    Well, everything depends on how many ESXi servers you have.

    If you have small env is not worth to spend a lot of time for preparation of extra super recovery too. I don't know anyone who supports up that ESX or ESXi breaks.

    For small env:

    restore procedure

    manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation, run a script (2 minutes) against the new server and DONE

    2. with the help of vMA

    Create a bash script that would back up ESXi firmware, set it on a weekly basis in crone (on the server of the vMA)

    Restore requirements

    ESXi server must be running

    ESXi must be on that same level as if it were before the construction accident

  • External backup thumbdrive PSE 8 catalog of dvd player and usb

    First post here, but have been visiting to learn more about the version windows PSE8 for the last two months.  Recently, I've converted an average size earlier version of PES in PSE8, before moving to one old computer to another.  Now that I organized PSE8 catalog and works the way I would like that, it's time to save everything related to it.  PSE8 backup in the Organizer catalog has not enlisted in action at the moment.

    I use a third party software to back up files on my computer manually (don't not automatic) a reader external esata cable hd.  My photos in the catalog PSE file are all arranged in one place ideally organized on the internal drive.  My thought is that I'll use the PSE Catalog backup method in the Organizer to do an initial full and incremental backups as needed for the external hard drive.  My photo file linked to the PSE catalog file, I intend to backup in a different location with the third-party backup software.  The third-party backup software will allow me to keep the structure of the files, uncompressed and native file format, etc. for incremental backup.

    I know that's redundant use of external hd space, but I am willing to trade it to keep the photo file linked to the PES in its "original" State  That being said, here's my question:

    In addition, I would like to do a dvd set of backup catalog PSE (not the linked photo file) file with the method PSE Catalog backup in the Organizer, full or incremental backup with format dvd - rw media and perhaps a catalog of backup PSE for usb keys.  How PSE8 keep track of full and incremental backups to all three media.  I guess they would have to do as you want to sync properly?  Or backup catalog PSE8 there a way to identify what source is backup and where it stopped (increments)?

    Any comments or advice related to the hybrid approach to backup are also welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think not that the backup program from the PSE can do incremental backups to several different media. I think that once you do one additional media, there is nothing after backup. Instead, you can use the backup of the PSE to make an incremental backup, then WIndows command to copy this incremental backup to other locations.

    Your backups performed by software third party necessary to include the file catalog. You did not say specifically that you did that, then I guess you're not, and this is why I urge you to include the catalog file in your backups.

    Of course, all of these backups seem to be exaggerated. Only you can decide what level of protection desired (and how much work you are willing to put into it), but the only thing that is missing in your description is an offsite backup. All backups are useless if you have a fire or a flood. An offsite backup looks like it would be in your obsessive backup procedures.
