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?

    Hello

    D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

    Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

    They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

    You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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... ;)

    Hello

    This error may be coming because of unavailable storage required for the motherboard drivers. You can follow the steps one by one, mentioned below and check if that helps.

    Method 1: Uninstall, and then reconnect the external hard drive. This method solves the problems where the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.

    1. Click Start, type Device Manager in the box Search
    2. Click Device Manager in the returned list.
    3. Click disk drives in the list of hardware
    4. Right click on the USB external hard drive with the question and click Uninstall.
    5. Once the hard drive is uninstalled, disconnect the USB cable.
    6. Wait 1 minute and then reconnect the USB cable. The driver should load automatically
    7. Look for the USB key in Windows Explorer

    Note: Connection of your USB external hard drive to a non powered USB hub can cause a lack of sufficient power to operate the external drive. Instead, plug it directly into your computer.

    Method 2: Install the latest Windows updates.

    This method will install the latest drivers for your external hard drive USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
    6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

    If your problem still exists, go to method 3.

    Method 3: Reinstall the USB controllers. This method addresses the steps where the USB driver currently loaded became unstable or corrupted.

    1. Click Start, type device in the area Manager Search , and then click Device Manager.
    2. Expand Bus USB controllers. Right click on a device, and then click Uninstall. Repeat for each device.
    3. When finished, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.

    If your problem persists, go to method 4.

    Method 4: Disable USB selective suspend framework. This method prevents your power off USB external drive.

    1. Click the Start button, type power management in the search box, and then click choose a power plan.
    2. Next to your currently selected plan, click Change Plan settings.
    3. Click change advanced power settings.
    4. Click in the box USBsettings, and then expand the USB selective suspend settings.
    5. Click on the area, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    6. If you use a laptop, click the cell, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    7. Click apply, and then click OK.

    If this does not resolve your issue, go to method 5.

    Method 5: Install the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset. This method updates the chipset of your motherboard drivers, so that your computer will use your external USB hard drive.

    1. See the documentation for your computer that will contain the name of the manufacturer of the motherboard.
    2. Visit your computer manufacturer's support Web site. For a list of the computer manufacturers support sites, visit: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/contact-support/computer-manufacturers
      (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/contact-support/computer-manufacturers)
    3. Go to their Web site to find the appropriate drivers for your motherboard. For assistance, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  • 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.
