Cannot restore backup files

I do weekly backups of my laptop (running Vista Home Premium being) by using the backup utility Windows & restoration that is installed.  I can see the last backup on the external drive, I'm using (IOMEGA 500 GB) using "Explores all", but when I try to restore using the restore function, no files are displayed in the menu "select files".  I am logged on as administrator, and the road is shared with all users.  Any ideas?

I tried several times and also with the previous backups of the same phone as well as with the same result.

  • Win 7 - cannot restore some files from a successful backup

    I recently bought a new laptop with Win7.

    I managed to restore all my important files to a backup of my old computer which was under Vista.

    When you try to restore my emails from the old vista computer, although I can see the files in the backup file real (using the tool of restoration provided by Win 7), after the execution of restoration, it is said that the restoration was successful, but the records seem to be empty and that's why I can't download my old emails to my new computer that represents a major problem for me.

    I noticed that, well I can see the folder Windows Mail in the file backup using the restore backup Win 7 laaredj, the folder that corresponds to Windows Mail seems to be on a color much clearer than the other files, however, if I double click on it, I can navigate and see its contents, but nothing is restored.

    Can anyone help? I would certainly appreciate any ideas, I tried to recover individual files, the entire file, one together records, tried to use different locations for the restored files but nothing seems to work. All other files in the same backup have been restored without problem.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Check if by chance the folder you are trying to restore is hidden (as you say that the folder is located in a color lighter than other folders).

    To verify the folder property

    (a) right click on the folder

    (b) select checking properties of the attributes.

    Try to restore the folder on another computer and check if it is successful.

    Hope this information is useful.

    I found the solution to my problem - cannot restore Windows XP backup file (BKF) files.

  • Restore backup files

    On my old computer, I had to restore XP to factory because of problems with system settings. The option I have chosen has allowed me to save my files and I can see the lists of directories and files in the folder "My Backup", but could not find the file that Windows Backup search (extension of .bkp?) to restore. When I click on the icons myself, it just says file cannot be read.

    Hi dnt711,

     
    Many users corrected this problem by correcting disk errors. We recommend you to check all the readers to find errors. To do this, try the following steps.
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    2. click on each drive to check and then click Properties.
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    4. click on start.
    5 after the audit of records mistakes, try to restore backup and check the result.

  • Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

    Questions

    1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

    2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

    Background

    Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

    -Start in SafeMode: does not work

    -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

    -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

    Disk utility error messages

    Most often, I get this error:

    The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

    Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

    Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

    Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

    I also received this error message once:

    Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

    Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

    Save the files to external hard drive?

    Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

    When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

    I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

    More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

  • Im trying to go to a backup Win 7, but unable to restore backup files

    Im trying to restore the backup files to a backup Win 7, but it deosnt let me do

    You are this announcement in an XP forum, so I'm assuming that you try to restore the files on a XP computer?

    Backup format changed between Windows XP and Windows 7.  Windows is a utility that will restore backups of Windows XP on a Windows 7 computer...
       <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/974674 >
    but to my knowledge, there is no use to restore a backup of Windows 7 on a XP machine.
    Better to restore the files on another Win 7 machine and then copy or otherwise transfer on your computer running Windows XP.

  • Restore backup file

    When you try to restore the backup file to a network drive (c = local machine, x, y, z = network drive), get "Access denied" error when 'creation z:/Statistics' and can restore on drive c. any ideas?

    Steve

    Hello

    ·         You are able to access other network drives?

    ·         What is the exact error?

    ·         Where have you backed up the files in (external hard disks, etc.)?

    I suggest you to give permissions for files and folders that you have backed up and check if you are able to access the files and then restore on network drives or not. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

  • Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

    I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

    Hi Allisonerik,

    (1) what happens when you try to restore?

    (2) you get an error message?

    (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

    I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • Cannot restore backup successful - 0x8007007A Vista Home Premium error code

    I use Vista Home Premium that came with my laptop. I had a nightmare with my Dell Inspiron for the last two months. I finally gave up and decided to do a clean install, after completing a successful using the Vista Backup Backup Assistant. Now, here's the problem. I reinstalled Vista, and made sure I had all the Windows updates available. Now I want to restore my data from my removable hard drive files.

    I click on the Control Panel, system and maintenance, restore the backup files, Advanced Restore and select my removable hard drive (which is cool). Then, I get the following error message:

    "There was an unexpected error. The data area passed to a system call is too small. (0x8007007A).

    I tried to copy the backup file on my computer and going through the same process, but I get the same result.

    I'm at my wits end with this, I can see all the files on my portable hard drive so I know something is there, it's just Vista backup restore will not do its job.

    Help, please!

    First, disable any security software you have running on your system.

    Then connect the external drive and go to start / Control Panel / Adminiistrative tools / computer Managmernet / Disk Managment and change the drive the drive letter of bacckup (I don't know why, but I saw an answer where this atually worked so it's worth a try).

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  More than finding the cause, I want to eliminate anything that might interfere with the process.  Try the restore in clean mode to see if the tht works.  Don't forget to return the system to normal when done regardless of the result.

    There is not much on this error code and absolutely nothing of a value - only valid suggestion posted above.

    Here is some general information that can help (although unrelated to this particular error)) but it may be useful to solve the problem as a whole.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup ("Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available ' )

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot open backup files. Error "user has no access privilege.

    I can't open the files I copied from my laptop on an external drive. My book, which is running XP, crashed and I had to do a complete reinstall. I had backup files copied to an external drive. I did not use any backup software, just the copy command. But now when I try to open the backup files, I get "the user has no access prvileges.

    I tried ALL of the suggestions found here, unless I missed one, such as the safe boot mode and change the settings and owner privileges. I've logged as an administrator and even created administrator accounts but still no go. I changed the parameters of the owner of the entire disk in the hope of it cascading down to the files, but still no luck. I can get the files to show that the property has changed, but whenever I try to open them, the problem persists!

    The backup drive that I used is now connected to my desktop computer running Windows Vista. Is there a program I can use to hack and open files or y at - it some part that I have not found another workaround solution?

    How can I disable this mode and access the privilege entirely stuff in Vista?
