  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?

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

• Backup to one external hard drive to another

  Hoping someone can explain to me how to copy a backup of one hard external to another.  I managed to make a complete backup of the old iMac, my sister just before he died.  The backup is located on a WD My Passport for Mac and I would like to copy the backup to another external hard drive, maintaining the original on My Passport for Mac, just to keep safe in the event of failure of one of the external drives.  This backup contains the only copy of hundreds of pictures.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  If it's a Time Machine backup, click here for more information.

  If there is a bootable clone, rerun the utility of cloning, but with the new source and destination drives.

• Restore the backup to an external hard drive

  original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

  Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

  Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

  Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

  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.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  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... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.

  I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  That suggests this error code is the problem and how can I solve the problem?

  For people who read this thread, I offer the following information.  I solved the problem by noticing that the problem could have been caused, when the system image is created.  So I did a backup without creating the system image and backup is complete without error.

  Then I used the backup program to create a system image.  This time error (0x8007045D) was displayed.   The error report says "the operation failed for a device error encountered with the source or the destination. If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then try again using. »

  So I ran chkdsk/r, and this program is a bad sector on the hard drive of my computer and fixed the error.  It took about an hour to run the program.  Now, the image of the system and the backup of data file work again.

  So I think that the main cause of error (0x8078012D) is deborahgarbe of i/o error (0x8007045D).  So if you get the first error code you can search for fixes for the second error code fix the root cause.

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• With the help of a backup on an external hard drive to transfer files to a new computer.

  I recently got a new computer and I need to transfer my files via my new computer. Both computers running Windows 7. I have an external hard drive that has all my files from my old computer on it. I went into the control panel configuration, then system and security, and then in the backup and restore. I then clicked on "select another backup to restore files from" and looked for my external drive. I made sure that it was connected and up-to-date as well. However, he never showed up.

  I would like to manually just transfer the files, but it seems as if there are readers split on this computer for 'BONES' and 'DATA '. For this reason, I'm not sure which car I'd put even files on.

  How can I transfer these files?
