How to start other backup sets using Vista Hm Prem backup and restore correct files list

I use the bkup & restore functionality premium Vista Hm to bkup my pc data and programs for a Seagate ext HDD. It seemed to work fine with XP; now, I don't know. Here's a glimpse of what I shot of Microsoft & other sources on the operation of the backup process.

When you start a bkup 'set' is created in a folder on the external HARD disk or other medium with a complete bkup of selected disks, partitions, etc. The following bkups are incremental files rather than full new copies, but these files are added to the original folder.

Later, if you wish, you can create additional bkup sets by a new complete bkup that will be created in a new folder. The following incremental update for any complete bkups additional files will be saved in the parent folder. After starting an another full bkup, prior bkup overall is "sealed" or closed, so to speak; He will not receive any updates. Each set of bkup is assigned a unique name that includes full creation date bkup & times. I read in several places that you can REMOVE bkup sets simply deleting records set bkup on the ext HDD when using this device. My understanding is correct?

  • How do you start a 2nd bkup located in a new folder of Vista & restore backup? The only way I found, (I did a year ago), is to change the specifications bkup (disks, partitions in the bkup) to force a new complete bkup. This isn't a useful way to do this when you care change the source data.
  • Delete-restore question: I noticed before I couldn't get a 2010 older file that was in an available according to Vista records restore; Error = not found backup file!  Recently, after reading more, I checked the folders on the drive HARD Seagate Ext in Windows Explorer and found only 2 whole bkup - earlier was dated 25/09/2011. I next went to the center of Vista backup & restore for a list of the bkups over 30 days that I had. There were about 35 cases bkup dated prior to the 25/09/2011, which dates back to June 2010. I then tried to restore some files (of the folders listed in the backup restore Center &, but does not appear on the Ext HDD). I got the same msg of error as before every time I tried. I think that I have can I have deleted a bkup set off the ext HDD a year or more ago that contains these older files. Why the Center backup restore & still displays them? How can I fix the table in the center of backup restore &?

Thanks for the help!

Hello

Are you referring to the full backup or a backup image?

First of all, I would say that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

  • Problems of restoring a backup of Windows Vista backup and restore program

    I recently had to completely reinstall Windows XP, then the Vista upgrade, to fix a problem with updates of Microsoft.NET and ATI graphic driver.  In may, I made a full backup of my laptop using Vista resident backup and restore program, using an external hard drive to store the backup.  When I learned that I had to reinstall the operating system, I did another backup in August (but not complete) using the same program.  Just after this backup in August, I did the reinstallation of operating systems, with the help of the phone of Dell.  My original problems are solved.

    When I was ready to use the restore the Vista program, I had to choose among the two sets of data (May to August) about which I wanted to restore on my laptop.  I chose August, thinking that it would be later.  However, in Outlook, all my saved e-mail messages are gone, I have no e-mail address book and any current calendar entries.  These are the only things I noticed up to this and are not, but I have not checked all the files... they are large enough.

    The folder on my laptop which normally contains my Outlook data files shows only a file Archive and the very small current .pst data file for 7 messages in my Inbox.

    It seems that the backup of August was important to may backup and maybe most of my Outlook data are in the may backup.  How to get data from two backups in my laptop?  When the backup is a folder with the same name, you have the opportunity to write about it, not copy, or copy it and have 2 folders.

    I tried to copy all the data from the external hard drive in the folder of Outlook data on my laptop.  It will eventually be several files, and Outlook reads only the more recent, so I don't always get access to the data that I hope is here!

    Can someone please?  My life is in my calendar, I lost years of e-mail addresses, and much saved messages that contain important data.  Thank you!

  • 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.
