I am Backing Up correctly...?

Hello again...

was tired to perform full backups w / a third party system... & the time it took... so I decided to use the feature backup (windows XP Pro).

Here's what I do:

1st, I backed up all w / a FULL backup (& in the 'Backup' tab, under 'File', I saved this hierarchy as a *.) BKS file... so it would always be the same files & folders to back up)

Then... the 2nd time... I chose this file *.bks & performed a DIFFERENTIAL backup.  It went very quickly & I noticed in the file window it only seems to have stopped on the new files I had created... so I assumed everything was fine.

last night, I did another differential backup, using the same method. & which seemed to go well also.

so... my question is... am I properly perform backups using this method...?

& If so... How the backup utility know what files were backed up previous backups...? .. so as to back up only the files that are new or have been changed...?

Thank you

Hello

Your process is everything is okay, that differentiated is cumulative backup of all changes since the last full or normal backup, i.e. the differences since the last full backup. The advantage of this is the fastest recovery time, requiring only a full backup and the last differential backup restore system. The disadvantage is that for each day elapsed since the last backup full, more data needs to be backed up, especially if a significant proportion of the data has been changed.

Many backup Windows 3.1-based programs use the bit of archive to mark the files were backed up. Backup does not use the bit to archive somehow. The decision of whether or not a file should be saved to an incremental backup is based on the name of the file, its last modified date, and the date of the last incremental backup, which are contained in the file.

I hope this helps.

    Hi Peter,.

    This is not a problem involving the MSE or any type of infection.  Although there are answer forums that deal with related issues of backup at some level, to reach the real experts in backup, please repost your question here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/threads/.  I'm sure they will be able to help you.

    I suggest that you include in your first post it your operating system, the program used to create the backup, the backup type, the size of the backup, the source of the backup and the backup destination (manufacturer, make and model) and how they are connected and anything else that could help them better understand the situation they can get a good start instead of first having to ask these things.

    Good luck!

  • New WD VelociRaptor 150 BG drive added to the WHS client fails to back up?

    Here's my situation

    I have a DIY WHS that has worked perfectly since I built it with no problems what so ever. My Client PC to a Vista 64-bit (with the latest updates to Windows & driver) has been saved well with his single Maxtor 200 GB HD.  Yesterday, I added a WD VelociRaptor 150 GB (formatted at 64 kilobytes for allocation unit size, that's my stand alone player for Flight Sim X).  The drive can be seen by the ESM and it is able to be use very well by the customer and FSX.   Here are more details

    Here is the exact error I get from the WHS Console

    The client backups/details/view /(Local disk) /---> ' year error occurred reading or writing to the hard disk of the computer F:.

    Also something strange, I just noticed.  The name of the primary OS drive is "C: (VISTA64 OS)" and the name of the VR 150 GB drive of FSX is "F: FSX primary Install", however, in the WHS console, where it shows the two drives under "Backup Volumes (2)" he lists the FSX drive as (Local drive) not by it, name F: (FSX primary facility), as it does for the C : Reader?

    On the HD VR 150:

    Indexing is disabled on the drive and all files

    He has no bad sectors

  • Scaling to external display

    I have a 2015 retina MacBook Pro with an external display k 4 (Asus PB287Q) and since the update for Sierra yesterday, I can select is more scaling "resolutions" which lie between 1920 x 1080 and 3840 x 2160. HD is far too big, far too small 4K. If you please, that there is a solution to this... I tried to restart, and it actually brought back the correct options until I closed the lid, and now they have disappeared and don't come back.

    That's what my display properties are similar (alt + click on Options):

    I had the same problem since the beta and still no word from apple. They completely borked seriously display drivers. I run dual monitors Dell P2715Q. A monitor allows me to choose the old scale with all the resolutions already supported 1080 p up to 4 k. 10.11 I could select the same resolutions on both monitors. Now I'm stuck with the resolutions that you mentioned on my second monitor. If I put my MBP to sleep and wake it up both monitors reflect the resolutions that show you without intermediate options between 1080 p and 4 k.

  • Time capsule flashes yellow

    Are some time I noticed that my time capsule was blinking yellow.  The wireless seems to operate normally.  I got a new router to comcast, but the same problem occurred; Unplug/plug-ins, it research and find the router and will stabilize green.  But after about a day, I noticed that it goes back to the flashing yellow. I had this time capsule for almost a year and it has worked perfectly until about a month.

    Also I'm not sure if it's back up correctly.  When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.  Other information is normal dark letters.  Is this normal?

    Exactly this modem do you have?

    Some modems only port are causing problems.

    If you changed your modem to modem router or vice versa, you must reset the TC factory and redo his configuration.

    When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.

    It is gray, because it is information, not a command... you can not change the information.

    When you open TM, you will immediately see if the backup works. She should have made a backup, an hour before.

  • Lasaoren stopped me using firefox properly - how to remove?

    Hi, I think that Lasoren should be installed through something without realizing. I deleted programs uninstall in Control Panel, but it has not solved the problem. Whenever I open firefox, the firefox homepage, he said Lasaren in the search bar (small text); and when I search and click on for a Web site, it takes me to yahoo search engine, I don't like.

    Please someone do back firefox correctly?

    Thank you

    See this - http://www.lasaorenweb.com/how-to-remove/

    In addition to the Lasaoren is uninstalled via the Control Panel, it seems that you need to reset your default home page, delete the search engine, and remove the Lasaoren Firefox search extension.

    Apparently, I did by mistake to make AOL my default browser and now I am unable to access Firefox or IE or even Google; AOL took over and all the steps, I tried to restore the previous settings failed. Uninstall AOL (files keeping intact) and then put it back would correct this situation?

    Uninstallation should solve this problem.

  • First Time Machine to NAS backup freezes at the same point, Console polluted by the same mistakes.

    I just configured my LaCie 5big Network2 act as a time Machine, but it is not back up correctly. When I run it always freezes at 14.70GB/237.71GB, even after deleting the backup and starting up again. I don't know if it of related or not, but the Console is littered with the same error messages (even if Time Machine is not running):

    If I stop the backup and restart it, it will get stuck after 7KB. If I delete the backup and starting a new one, it will get stuck at 14,70 Go again. This could be the cause? The NAS is configured correctly and firmware is up to date, disks are operational and functioning perfectly.

    My system is a 2015 retina MBP 15 "16GB / 500GB.

    Time Machine is a LaCie 5big Network2.

    LaCie can support this, but isn't Apple. the NAS can have its own propreitary features or a network can introduce the software is not designed for questions.

    If you want to use a NAS for backup, you can consider Carbon Copy Cloner as alternative

  • SeaMonkey E-mail seems to leave out the spaces between the words from time to time. How can I fix? I use version 2.14.1.

    SeaMonkey Mail: When I type a paragraph of text in an e-mail message, send it to myself.
    and read it, I find that SeaMonkey merges occasionally words together leaving aside the space.
    The original text has spaces, but the received text is not. I am using 2.14.1 and were
    only for the last month or so to have this problem. At around the same time, I noticed
    only SeaMonkey started underlying parts of the words in red. This happens when I go back
    to correct a misspelled word. If these problems are linked and how to fix? I must
    reloading SeaMonkey? The same thing happens when I run it in safe mode without addons.

    And for the Inbox (app) the error is: network unavailable).

    Kindly let me know the solutions.

    Thanks and rgds

    This implies that Instagram doesn't send back data correctly. Have you tried:

    1 restart the app (double tapping the home button and its closure)

    3. FORCE reboot your phone

    4 reinstall Instagram

  • My search does not work

    My search box will not get me anything - it just started doing this. I just upgraded to firefox 9. Work or Bing, Google or Yahoo.

    In addition, I noticed that copy data on the web, what I write takes forever and get jumbled words and letters and I have to go back and correct the words who wrote completely. Even writing this makes me crazy.

    Only then sometimes on writing web pages.

    Jumble of text can be caused by a Java process running on the page with you type in the text box. You have 1.6.0_24 next generation Java plug-in for the Mozilla browsers installed, the current version is 30 - update Java.

    Regarding the problem with the search bar, the extension of the Yahoo! toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported to cause a problem like that. Disable or uninstall the modules.
