• Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

  Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

  Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

  I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

  I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

  I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

  I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

• Complete PC Backup and restore | Vista home Premium | upgrade

  I want to create a full backup/restore of my system because 1 of my RAID volume has failed. (My computer is less than 6 months old). I was ignorant when I bought my new system Vista Home Premium won't let me create this type of backup.

  In order to get this feature that I have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for $220? This seems a little high for a function. Also if I update can I erase on my current hard drive when you install the upgraded operating system (i.e. I have to reinstall everything anyway since the full backup/restore will not work until the new operating system is installed)?

  TIA

• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

• Error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.

  Original title: what is NTFS?
  When you try to do a full up, I get the error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.  My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  What is NTFS?

  What type of disc to I use to make a backup?

  Hi Heather_604,

  There are two ways you can do: you can convert the external hard drive to NTFS, or you can format the external hard drive to NTFS.

  Personally, I suggest that you format the external hard drive, but this will remove all data from the drive. Temporarily, you can copy what is on the hard drive on your C: drive if you have enough free space (or DVD) - once the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, you can copy everything back.

  Formatting disks and drives

  Examine everything under view all. also check How can I add a new HDD? If Vista not recognize the external drive in see computer management - disk, the link create and format a hard disk partition management:

• MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

  I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

  Hello

  When you perform a full backup of the computer, all programs, files and system settings are included.

• Can I download or buy MS complete PC Backup and restore to my Home Premium Vista or a third-party equivalent?

  I've been on a computer for a year so there are a lot of things and I do not know, I had a virus my corrupted files and I had to wipe the hard drive and I want my system backup procedures. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a platform bit 68 I found it didn't have the complete PC Backup and restore program for backup. The system I save file, but not programs I could download, as I understand it, this program is in Business or Ultimate Vista OS so I wonder if I can download this program on my computer? Either the backup program by itself, or the program professional/ultimate, preferably something that is free.  Or can I download another program that does the same job? I found that I can backup to a virtual server, mounting vhd and MS virtual machine so I have this in mind too, for any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

• Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

  I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

  But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

  "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

  Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

  No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

• How to completely remove backups Time Machine from my hard drive internal?

  Accidentally, I chose my internal hard drive as a backup to the location for Time Machine. Now I use an external hard drive for this but somewhere on my drive hard it is a file left behind. I can't find! The problem is, I can't update my OS because it gives me the message "cannot be updated because the disk is used for TM backups.

• my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Your question is unclear.

  I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

  You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

  The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

  Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

  Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

  Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

  If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

  No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

  Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

  Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

  It is simply not enough the last backup date?

  Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

  If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

  But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

  Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

  for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

  You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.

• Windows complete PC Backup Image - impossible to restore the backup on my laptop after the restoration of the C drive.

  My user profile is not loaded correctly, and so Sony told me to do a restore of the C drive which took my drive C back to factory settings and lost all my programs and files.  I tried since then to restore the Windows Image backup I did on my external hard drive.

  I open backup and Restore Center, click Advanced Restore, click Advanced Restore again.  The box application to what you want to restore?  The only option is to files from a backup made on a different computer.  I click Next, and he said: select the location of the backup to restore.  Hard drive, cd or dvd option has already found new Volume (e), which is my external hard drive.

  I click Next again, and he says, select dates to restore from.  The only option in the box is dated 2008-01-12 14:14:34 backup location is not available.  My external hard drive has multiple backups on it, including the Windows Backup Image (which was the first backup, I did and it contains 152 GB), and so I do not understand this.

  I continue, and then click Next.  It now says select files and folders to be restored, but there is nothing in the box.  I have check the restore everything in this backup box and click Next.  I save the files restored to the following location - check and navigate to the C drive.  I also check both boxes: restore files to their original subfolders and create a subfolder for the drive letter.  I click on begin to restore, and then he said:

  Restoration was unsuccessful.  Error: the parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)

  I'm desperate to be able to get my programs and files back on my laptop.  I don't understand why the restore function can not see my Windows Backup Image, and why this is so difficult.  I've read other complaints by users about this, but cannot find a solution.

  I look forward to hear from you.

  Thank you.

  Hi HGHFaith,

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1 : Clean boot the computer and then try to 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

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

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

  If the problem persists,

  Step 2: Run Check disk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. type E: (external drive) and press enter

  c. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

  Now, type chkdsk/r

   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.
