• Disk backup sets hard Ext. fill

  Open the file OWNER-VAIO in my external hard drive, I find several games backup over the past two years. They are responsible for close to filling that 500 GB hard drive. I have to keep each backup set? I have a set of 3 Sony recovery discs, made for me by Best Buy when I bought the laptop. These recovery disks are redundant backup sets to a certain extent? Please, someone, tell me if I can free up space on my external hard drive by deleting all (or part) of these backup sets. Thank you!

  I'm still trying to understand why I have to have as many backup files. I guess this is the Vaio Care that prompted backups several times this year (and also in 2009 and 2010). 2011 the only backup files have already taken over 160 GB of space on my external hard drive - a third of its available memory. Each year backup files are in a backup set. Can I get rid of the backup sets for 2009 and 2010. And some of the files earlier in the game this year?
  What all because I can't say Vaio Care I have a set of recovery discs, made for me when I bought the laptop? Vaio Care report saying me that I have no recovery discs. It would help if I advanced (in Vaio Care) and made another set of recovery disks?

• I have to keep each backup set or only the most recent

  Original title: backup sets

  I use backup and restore to make a weekly backup of my files.  A new set of files is created every week, but the size varies.  Each new set of backup files is complete or each new lot only contains the updated items?  I have to keep each backup set or just the most recent?

  Hello

  It depends on what type of backup you do?

  If you did a full backup of the system simply perform a differential or incremental backup on a regular basis.

  Differential backup

  A differential backup copies files that were created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It does not mark files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). If you are performing a combination of normal and differential backups, restoring files and folders requires that you have the last normal and last differential backup.

  Incremental backup

  An incremental backup backs up only files that were created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is cleared). If you use a combination of normal and incremental backups, you will need to have the last normal backup set as well as all incremental backup sets to restore your data.

• Backup files Vista - "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."

  I have a Vista computer.  The hard drive broke so until I replaced it I backed up all the files on the computer to another computer running Windows 7. I did it in the backup and Restore Center.  I made a backup of files, not a full backup of the system (I've seen the full backup of the system mentioned in other posts, but that was not an option... maybe which is only available on Vista Premium).  In any case, I replaced the hard drive and then try to restore the files, but I get the message "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."  Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you.

  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.

  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 thebackup 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.

• Windows was not able to find any backup sets

  My hard drive crashed yesterday.

• Older Delete backup sets.

  When I perform this operation manually then backup will not work.

  If you delete all including the initial full backup, then you should have no trouble to do a new full backup (you won't be able to perform incremental backups until you've done a new full backup).  That's how you remove backup sets anyway - it there is no automated process or control in the center of backup and restore for deletion older backup sets - it is always done manually.

  Please describe what error message you recceive (the EXACT text) when you try to perform a new backup (and what type of backup that you are trying to do) when you delete old backup sets.  Go through the exact step by step procedure for me and tell me where it fails.

  I hope this helps.

• Backup and restore cannot find any backup sets.

  I had to reinstall windows 7 prof 64 using the original recovery partition and want to restore my data files that I had backed up using the backup and restore windows.  The files are on a network drive.  "When I run the restore I have 'Browse' the network choose the folder labeled" backup files aaaa-mm-jj xxxxxx "but it comes back with the error message: Windows could not find the backup sets on \\xxxxx please select a different location.

  Early research indicated it could be a permissions problem and the network drive is not a Microsoft Windows type disk I copied the folder and all the files on my C: drive and checked that they were all showing all permissions to all the users/system/everyone etc.  I tried again.  Same result.  I tried now selection of locations right differnet down the folder hierarchy (for example: in 'Catalogue' records and individual records date) but still get the same message.

  I realize that I could go in the individual zip files and restore everything manually, but the backup set has 9 different files and 525 zip datr files each with a tree long through the files of the hard disk C: before getting to the part of My Documents with data.

  It would be so much easier than Microsofts back/restore program does what it is supposed to do.  The only references I found in the web site of Support MS concerned questions of authorisation and in ensuring that the original folder is in the format "Yyyy-mm-dd of backup files xxxxxx"  I've done both.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Original title: restoration of Windows can't find the backup sets

  I solved the problem. It seems that, for a new installation (reinstallation of the operating system), it is necessary to set up a backup to the location of the original backup. After saving the new facility in the same place as the old backups, older backups are available to be applied.

• How to make a backup set full of files that you selected (in Windows 7)?

  If I click on 'save now' in Windows 7 will do a backup full of selected files?

  I've finally found out of backups scheduled in Windows 7 because I could never determine what was a 'set' as there are has no indicators.

  So the question is: in the future, I just want to complete backups of all the files I've selected every time I want to (since I still find the options for others) to perform a full backup what I do in the backup and restore window?

  I'm sorry to say this, but the function of backup on Windows 7 is one of the worst I've ever seen - taking control of the user for what type of backup, they are done but never explain what is contained in a 'set '.   "Windows periodically make a new backup set...". ', they say.  Really? When? Why do I see a game with 250 GB, a second 'package' with 35 GB and when I click on 'save now' the file was 197 GB?  What is contained in these 35 GB?  Incremental?  Differential?  The secret of the Dead Sea Scrolls?

  I'm not the first user to this problem, that is why users will third-party backup programs.  But it amazes me that MS cannot go down this basic procedure and explain it to the user.

  Backup programs work very well with the following options:

  Ask the user if they want to (1) create a 'complete' backup of the selected data, (2) create a "premium" with the files changed, or (3) "incremental" with the added files.  Indicate what kind of file the user seeks to him once it was created.  Is it so difficult?  .  In an attempt to "dumb down" the process there desperately ready to confusion with the result that if you delete a 'set' to clear a space not sure what you are deleting - very dangerous.

  If the user wants to simplify and give software MS control software HAS yet to tell them what a 'set' is and what it contains. (full/differential/differential)   Otherwise, you cannot delete all files or sets for fear of erase something essential.   And you won't find until you crushed.

  Hello

  Windows Backup allows you to make copies of data files for all people who use the computer. You can let Windows choose what to back up or you can select individual files, libraries, and drives that you want to save. By default, your backups are created on a regular basis. You can change the schedule and you can manually create a backup at any time. Once you have configured Windows backup, Windows keeps track of the files and folders that are new or modified and adds them to your backup.

• 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.

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

• V/s compressed normal backup backup set.

  Hi all
  
  Can I get data in real time for a backup compressed in savings (tape drive) teams.
  We plan to implement this feature for dbs customers. (DB 10.2.0.4.0 on AIX/Linux)
  
  Thank you

  I can't answer your question but I would like to stress that many band systems include integrated hardware compression based so according to your hardware tape data being written to tape may already be compressed in which case there will be no reduction in the requirements for the ribbons after application Oracle rman backup compression feature.

  Where the band units do not compress the data being written to tape then I expect a reduction in the use of the band and the improvement of the efficiency equal to the reduction in the size of the file. If you have a 30% reduction in file size so the compressed backup set is only 70% of the game so I expect a 30% reduction in time to copy the files on a tape and a reduction of 30% of the needs of the band to copy the uncompressed backup tape backup.
