A Windows complete PC backup image contains copies of your programs, files and system settings. It is a complete backup of the system that you can use to restore the contents of your computer if your hard disk or an entire computer ever stops working.
When you restore your computer from a Windows complete PC backup image, it is a complete restoration. You can not choose to restore individual items and all your files, system settings and programs are replaced.
See you soon.

Caching SSDS on Inspiron One 2330 turn on/off before/after backup Image C:
My new Inspiron one 2330 works under 64-bit Windows 8 and SSD Caching-as put in place by DELL
Before I run Acronis True Image 2013 to generate a backup Image of your hard drive, I need to disable the SSD Cache.
Otherwise the restored Image cannot start successfully - because the content of the HARD drive would be incorrect.
After the backup is completed and verified, I need to turn on SSD Caching.
To do this, I want to insert a command-line command before / after the backup operation in the Acronis program options.So my Question is actually:
What command line command (C: /...) can I use to make the switch or disable the Cache of 8 SSD 64-bit WIndows?Thank you!
Hello Reinhard Klein,
You can follow the steps below in order to dissociate the SSD cache:
You can create an image with Acronis and then follow the steps below to reassociate SSD cache:
Note: Dell has not tested or approve the use of Acronis True Image to create a backup of the image.
I hope this helps.

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.
Check whether the problem is resolved

Accessibility of the previous backup Image of RMAN copy after roll forward with the additional days
Hi all
I have these 2 questions related to RMAN Image backups. Please suggest the best approaches...
We are in publishing Standard of Oracle 11.2.0.3 database on instances of RAC ASM on Windows 2008 and want to see the feasibility of using Copies of RMAN images for our databases.
Have a question about the availability of backups for restoration in a scenario explained below:
1ST QUARTER)
To get copies of the Image which are rolled to the next incremental backup. Can we still restore/recovery to earlier date than the Image backup before rolls? If not, please suggest
What is the best way to accomplish this task if we choose RMAN COPY of IMAGE as our backup strategy.
Example:
Log archiving is enabled.
Sunday evening: full level 0 backup copy Image
Monday night: 1) level 1 incremental Image copy backup and Roll-forward/apply the incremental backup for the full backup from Sunday
(2) backup of files to archive log after the full backup from Sunday.
Tuesday evening: 1) level 1 incremental Image copy backup and Roll-forward/apply the incremental backup for roll Monday transferred (full) backup.
(2) backup of files to archive log after incremental backup from Monday.
Wednesday evening: 1) level 1 incremental Image copy backup and Roll-forward/apply the incremental backup to roll Tuesday transferred (full) backup.
(2) backup of files to archive log after incremental backup on Tuesday.
Can we restore and recover the data until Tuesday morning 11:00 even if our full backups are rolled transferred by the application of incremental backups. Please suggest

System backup Image against the system recovery disks
Hello
I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...
I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.
However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.
First Question:
Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...
Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?
The second Question:
If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?
I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge
In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...
Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.
From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4
and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.
Any help or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks for the research.
Best regards, Jenn
Hi, Jenn:
I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.
Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.
I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).
You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.
Here's how:
If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.
Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.
The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/
You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.
I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

WS 2012 and NAS backup failed to prepare the backup image
Hello
I'm trying to back up some of my data to Windows server 2012. I am using LG - 250GL Buffalo NAS.
I use the scheduled backup option, but it is unable to prepare the backup image, error code is "0x807800C5", event id 517."
However, if I rename my folder name, and then it creates the folder and with successful backup my data, only problem is that it is said version is not compatible. Once again, if I change the name of the folder, it's OK, but I can't do that everyday manually, everything save automatically at certain time.
I tried to find a solution, but nothing works.
Maybe my NAS is a bit too old and is not compatible with the version of 2012.
What are my options? Should I buy new SIN or is it fixable somehow?
This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

After backup files and restoring Windows XP, I can't open the files backed up.
After backup files and restoring Windows XP, I can't open the files backed up. The files are password on a user account. I know the password. But the message received when you try to open them is: access is denied. Drag / drop the files in 'Shared files' result in the same message. I know that the files exist, because when I open backup and browse for them, they are displayed. Is there a method to open? I have Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 update. I tried to back up the files with backup of backup, but it does not work.

I have an Acer Aspire E1-571-6856, Windows 7 64 - bit, 4 GB RAM, 2.6 ghz core i5, 4000 hd graphics card
I have created a backup of the image using Acer Backup Manager.
There is no option to restore from Acer although backup recovery image.
How can I restore backup images?
I don't think that you can load your restore with Acer erecovery media point, since normally is used to re - install from scratch the BONE.
You must create your own media recovery with the same software that you created in the backup image, which will no doubt help to load the backup image.

Hey mary, mary
Here is the vista forums
Choose Safe mode with network to use in the menu you will have your internet connection to use for download unless you connect through wireless
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP .
- Select the Mode safe mode with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
- Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in normal mode.

Hard disk backup/Image program
Hello:
Here... I mean "Backup" to be * just * a backup of files & folders.
Backup, a full backup of the (gradually) of the any of your laptop
Internal HD, external hard drive, disk,... to another internal HD, flash memory
external hard drive, FlashDrive... etc. In short, an 'image' of this player.
I'm running 32-bit of Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion laptop.
Do you know a "backup" program that is very easy to use, where you can essentially
"Click & Drag" your hard drive icon (or one of the 'readers listed above)
make a complete (or partial) backup (image) of this drive?
I would like that the file 'backup', designed to be easy to read and use: not something that
is an encryptyed or a filetype Tablet (e.g. .tib), other than possibly .zip.
The key point here is 'easy to understand', 'easy to install' and 'easy to use '.
Thank you
