Connection between the computer and the external hard drive stopped during the backup

The connection between my PC and my external hard drive has been accidentally cut while I perform a backup. Since then I reconnected my external hard drive to my computer and come back again.

Windows continue my back up where it left off, or he adds a new point backup on my external hard drive?

Hi Brandon,.

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would like to inform you that, if the backup is interrupted and it is asking to start the backup. Then, you will need to perform a new backup.

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

  • Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

    Hi all

    For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

    I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

    But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

    Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Diana

    I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

    For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

    (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

    Make sure that Time Machine is running

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

    If it isn't, then click data under available disks

    Then, click on disk use

    Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

    Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

    After the return when you have confirmed that this is the case

    My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

    There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

  • Windows 8 and USB external hard drives

    I want a new dv7 with Windows 8 and an Iomega Prestige 1 TB external hard drive I use successfully on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. It behaves erratically in Windows 8. Sometimes it is not recognized at all. Sometimes it is, but trying to access it via Explorer, Windows crashes requiring a diet forced down. Other times, you can access it with success and even copy a file to it with Solution Explorer, but if you try to copy multiple files with the same drag and drop, it displays the calculation time to copy file window, but the calculation done so forever, just stays there. Also, when you try an Xcopy in the prompt with mutiple files and / or files, copy the first file he is suspended from the command window. The system has a newly updated BIOS and all installed Windows updates. Ideas?

    Tried moving the Iomega for a USB 3.0 drive (the drive is 3.0 and 2.0 compatible) 2.0 in Windows 8 port and it now works fine. No idea whether the problem with USB 3.0 with Windows 8, HP or Iomega.

  • External hard drive is extremely slow backup

    We have an external hard drive connected to our iMac. Time Machine used to store backups, but something happened and he stopped to save on 16 February the hard disk became full and when the reader become unalterable for Time Machine could not delete older backups.

    I contacted Apple to see what we should do. Apple told me to format the external hard drive, so I did. Then I put the time Machine to start back up again to do.

    Time Machine now seems to be back up to him, but he tells me that he will take 25 days. It will also very slowly.

    Are there still problems with the hard drive? What should we do? Is it actually backup? It will still save it slowly or right the first time?

    Thank you!!!

    Look at the hard disk in the sidebar of the Finder and see if a new Time Machine file has been created on the drive. If so, I'd let the backup race. Since reformat you the drive, Time Machine needs to backup the entire computer. Initial estimates of the remaining time are usually very inaccurate. Once the initial backup is complete, backup will go much quicker. See questions 7 and 29 in the article below.

  • USB external hard drive stopped working

    I use Vista Home Basic Edition on a Dell Inspiron 1525.  I use a WD external hard drive for storage (almost a year) and it has been fine until today.  All of a sudden he disappeared.  At microsoft I used the fix tool and it said: relocation that the driver can solve - I say yes - device driver comes up saying installed successfully - but the disc puts to work continuously until I have unplug the USB or turn off.  Then everything went again.  I tried a dozen times, but it's always the same.  The only new thing that was installed today was a color laser printer & I don't see why that would stop the hd.  Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I need my data!
