Disable the windows backup utility

How can I disable the windows backup program?  I could not make a backup by using the utility for running Windows Vista.  Problem since upgrade to Windows 7.  The program continues at the prompt for a DVD and I would rather just turn off.

You could also disable the backup services service

Start > service.msc > Windows backup > stop the service.

See you soon! "That's all a pension chequer nights and days,"

    Hi Charles,

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I'll certainly try and help you perform the backup.

    Until we start could you give us some more information?

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any anti-virus installed on the computer program?

    3. What are the troubleshooting steps correct you have taken to correct the problem?

    4. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to re check the service as long as this error usually occurs if one of the services required for the backup Windows for work is disabled or has not started.

    To check the services, click Start, in the Start Search bar type services , and then press enter.

    Please check that the following services are enabled:

    -"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) must be active, Automatic.

    'COM + Event System"(System events) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    -'System Event Notification Service"(SENSE) must be active, Automatic.

    -"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider' (SWPRV) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    Once you make changes according to the above specifications, you can try a backup and check to see if that solves the problem.

    I also suggest you to run a SFC scan (System File Checker). This will replace the corrupted Windows files.

    Here are a few articles on Windows backup.

  • error 0 x 81000019 when you try to run the Windows backup utility

    original title: 0 x 81000019... Attention Microsoft

    Error code 0 x 8100019 and a sub-code when you use the utility backup of Windows 7... Finally resorted to re - format and re-installation of Win 7, then ran backup before installing the Microsoft updates, which was a success.

    Downloaded and installed the Microsoft updates and then run backup... back to the original problem. Logically, Microsoft, it appears that one or more of your updates has interfered with the Windows 7 backup utility... my time is limited and I paid for the product rather than be given to the problems with the product to sift... may your Tech run this through clean install and add each update to identify what, if any. are the cause of the problem?

  • Cannot run the Windows backup utility, error: "a file already exists (0X800700B7)."

    I have a Lenovo Think Pad with Windows Vista.  When I try to back up the computer, I choose backup and the location of tools accessory system configuration.  Then I run a backup to start and identify a DVD RW as the location of the backup files.  I click to start and a screen pops up saying

    A file exists already (0X800700B7), and at this time it cannot be saved.

    OX800700B7 is not a file name. It is an error code.

    What follows is a response to the same problem. The person who had the problem was using 64-bit. But that makes no difference in this case. Follow th step by step posted by ABC_george and see if that fixes the problem.

  • How to backup a Windows 7 Machine to a network attached drive (WD Worldbook) - using the Windows backup utility?

    When I use the tool, it lists only a DVD player in backup option, it does not find the network drive (and the tool does not seem to give you an option to search for manually - just has a refresh button). Any help would be great.

    ISTR that you have to buy Windows 7 Ultimate or above for the backup to a network share using the installed backup program.  The series Windows 7 Home won't make backups on a network.

    my computer uses of Windows Vista Home Basic.

    Hello

    N ° as you have Vista Home Basic, you are just to save your own personal files (photos, music, documents, etc.), do not make a backup of the computer that would include updates, as the backup of the computer is an image of the operating system installed on the specified Date, it's done.

    To save all (backup of the computer), you should have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise.

  • Question about Windows backup utility

    My Satellite came with Windows XP Home Edition.
    MS inform that this happened with a Windows backup on his drive, BUT I don't him is not (of course, Toshiba has not provided a disk full XP, only their recovery and tools disks etc...).
    Could someone please tell me where find/download this utility on the drives that I have provided with, or recommend an alternative.
    Thank you.

    Hi Nicolas,.

    Please check if you have a folder called X:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP on your system. If you do it should contain some files which is called MSFT; in this folder, you will find the installer for NTBACKUP, which is the Microsoft Backup utility.

    Remember that the Microsoft Backup utility does not support CD/DVD format.

    Kind regards

  • How can I disable the automatic backup in Photo Viewer?

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. As I looked through some of my pictures, one of them was displayed on the side and I used the 'spin' button to see her standing. As I clicked on the button 'Next', the picture has been saved without any confirmation. I don't want to save changes in the viewer of photos at all, and I have not found any setting for this. How can I disable the automatic backup in Photo Viewer?

    Hello

    Please note the last changes you make on your computer will be automatically saved on your computer and which will be unchanged, unless you change it again on your computer.

    As it is a design, there is nothing we can do from our end.

  • Disable the automatic backup in Apple applications

    How can I disable the automatic backup in the Script Editor and other Apple applications?

    I love how the captain tells us what is good for us and allows us no easy way to change things.

    AutoSave/Versions has been part of Mac OS X Lion. See these instructions. Save As will be in its normal position in all applications, and when you close the documents, you will be asked if you want to return (same result as the old do not save).

    Versions and AutoSave will always run in background for the applications that use it. You can't really turn off without disrupting some application menus, but it's been at least OS X behave more like Snow Leopard or earlier version.

  • WD external drive is not detected by the Windows backup program

    Original title: with a WD external drive backup program

    I have a WD My Book Essential 320 GB external drive. The Windows backup program does not recognize the drive... The drive IS recognized on my computer and I can access and transfer and copy and paste to it without problem. It's just the backup program which does not. No error message or anything. Only, it does not recognize the drive when I get to the destination area. I tried to update the drivers. The WD support site has Backup downloads for OTHER external drives, but not this one. Their Web site says to contact Microsoft support. Any suggestions?

    Hey mrlray,

    Here's what you can do.

    Perform the clean boot

    Backup process a lot sometimes, this problem is provided by third party in conflict with windows software. See if this is the case here by putting your boot system before you perform the backup.
