Backup utility Windows 7 stuck on 30%

Hello world

I use a Windows 7 computer that I built myself, and I'm trying to backup to an external hard drive connected by USB.  I was able to make a backup, a few weeks ago, but I had to get my computer repaired (failure of CPU and RAM), and since I got back, I was unable to save a backup.  I'm going to run the backup, and it is fine until it reaches 30%.  There, he grinds to a snails pace, perhaps up to 1% every 1-2 hours.  I tried to download another backup software and who also faces a similar problem (battery life 4 + hours an estimate and count).  Just trying to save a picture windows and "My Documents", if that helps.

Things I have done or checked:

* I ran a registry clean, which seems to cause some problems for Windows, so I did a system restore before I installed it.  I did a system restore to before that I take the computer to the shop, because I "used" all my points of recent restoration to try to fix everything that was causing my problems (didn't know it's hardware problems at the time).  I hesitate to restore my system all the way back to the previous save point (from March) due to all the programs it would affect.

* It is not a question of space, being the 1 TB external hard drive and the size of the backup is only 337 GB (depending on the action of the window Center).

* I checked internal and external hard drives using disk check function.

* I ran a File Checker system using System Restore which found and fixed a few corrupted files, but running a backup after that always lead to the same question.

* I tried just let it run for about 6 hours and it got up to 33%.  I had rather not leave my computer on for 3 days waiting for my backup, especially since he never too long before.

* I updated all the drivers for the graphics card to the motherboard, CPU and checked drivers for both of the hard drives (up to date).

If anyone has any ideas where to go from here, I would really appreciate it.  I can't write CD/DVD on my setup, so I have not yet tried.

Thanks for the reply, Anusha.

I was able to make a backup of just the image of the system (not), so I think that it is a file in the My Documents folder that is causing the problem.  I'll have to look through them all and try and understand that one is.

Thank you once again!

  • Backup utility Windows 7 application ' are you sure you want to remove the most recent data from the backup file "even if I'm trying to remove the backup set is not the most recent.

    I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
    Manage space > view backups...

    I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
    01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
    12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
    23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011

    I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.

    However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.

    Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.

    In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.

    Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?

    Any help much appreciated - thank you.

    Simon

    Update: I checked on other PCs in the office and the situation is the same - is not only something strange on a PC.

  • backup of Windows Vista failed due to access denied 0x80070005

    I'm try to use a WD Passport essential 320 drive (8 months) as support for my daughter Gateway laptop (about 4 years old; 2 GHZ RAM, 150GB hard drive, 100 GB of free, USB ports are 1.0 only, sigh!).    Instead of using WD Smartware, try to use the backup utility Windows Vista (Basic, 32-bit).    I followed instructions from WD on this exactly, but every time I try the backup, which takes more than half an hour in what appears to be a valid backup operation, the backup stops abruptly with an error message indicating that the backup failed.  Error message States only: 0x80070005 - access is denied.  As far as I can tell, I attributed to full sharing for the drive and the drive itself shows as a separate with no partitioning drive.   Technical support (level 1) WD told me that they think that the drive itself is correct, that the problem is with Windows and that they could not help me with Windows problems.   Themselves to level 2 has said pretty much the same thing but offered through the messages of support from MS, but neither he nor I saw patches associated with Vista, only the XP machines.  What is the benchmark for my Vista operating system?   Thank you!

    I have the same problem.  I have a WD external hard drive, I had the habit of saving on all the time with no problems.  January 2011, I have not had a successful backup and rather get moved out of the backup mid-term with error 0x80070005 access denied.  Have you ever found a solution?  I tried to turn off UAC, security, firewall, backup in safe mode, but nothing works.

  • Backup default Windows 7?

    When you use the backup utility Windows 7, I noticed that it does not select a drive that contains more than the backup destination. In my situation, I actually had a file huge virtual machine I is no longer necessary and deleted. This allowed me to continue. Then I realized, Windows 7 backup checks the space then allows you to select the folders to back up. It should be in reverse order. Am I wrong?

    My Satellite came with Windows XP Home Edition.
    MS inform that this happened with a Windows backup on his drive, BUT I don't him is not (of course, Toshiba has not provided a disk full XP, only their recovery and tools disks etc...).
    Could someone please tell me where find/download this utility on the drives that I have provided with, or recommend an alternative.
    Thank you.

    Hi Nicolas,.

    Please check if you have a folder called X:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP on your system. If you do it should contain some files which is called MSFT; in this folder, you will find the installer for NTBACKUP, which is the Microsoft Backup utility.

    Remember that the Microsoft Backup utility does not support CD/DVD format.

  • Lost backup utility from One Care to Windows Live Essentials?

    I recently transferred to Windows Live Essentials after my subscription to One Care became unavailable, the transition was easy and I found that Essentials is a great alternative, how ever when I realized that he was not back up installation included in the package, I returned to the accessories of Windows to back up my computer to my external hard drive.

    Only to find that the backup facility had been removed when I removed One Care? I searched my machine and looked at restoring to an earlier installation of date back to the utility originally stae, but have had no joy.

    Because all my back up to external hard disk refer to One Care (which is now removed) my machine does not recognize the back ups, and because One Care isn't here, too, there is no possibility to restore from the hard drive.

    One has the same problem and is there a solution to restore Windows backup utility with doing a full reinstall and lose all my programs, files, data, ect? help urgently needed please!

    I had the same problem after removing a care. Found the original disks supplied with the Microsoft XP Home Edition computer, browsed the disk and found the backup utility program it and reinstalled.

    However, I think that the problem should not have occurredit the first place. I hope this helps.

    Hi Charles,

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I'll certainly try and help you perform the backup.

    Until we start could you give us some more information?

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any anti-virus installed on the computer program?

    3. What are the troubleshooting steps correct you have taken to correct the problem?

    4. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to re check the service as long as this error usually occurs if one of the services required for the backup Windows for work is disabled or has not started.

    To check the services, click Start, in the Start Search bar type services , and then press enter.

    Please check that the following services are enabled:

    -"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) must be active, Automatic.

    'COM + Event System"(System events) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    -'System Event Notification Service"(SENSE) must be active, Automatic.

    -"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider' (SWPRV) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    Once you make changes according to the above specifications, you can try a backup and check to see if that solves the problem.

    I also suggest you to run a SFC scan (System File Checker). This will replace the corrupted Windows files.

    Here are a few articles on Windows backup.

    As floppy drive are no longer included in laptops, the use of a USB storage device would make more sense now? Is this possible?

    Richard1952,

    Yes, you should be able to select an area on which you want to record on.
