Is there a way to backup and restore vista layout icon on the desktop?

Is there a way to save & restore the Windows Vista desktop icons without having to download anything?  Windows has a 'solution' to download I don't know?  Thanks, gator gal

Hi t-4-2, just wanted you to know that I had my friends icons all back.  She had inadvertently put them in another folder in the office when she tried to pull them to where she wanted.  His vision is not what it was, so it makes it extremely interesting when she tries to deal with the computer.  The magnifying glass that she uses with her mouse helps a little.  In any case, it is almost crossed your fingers when she uses her PC.  Icons disappear, the printer mysteriously stopped working.  I just try to keep its games where she can find them, as well as its image file.  Thanks for your help.  Very much appreciated.

    I want to create a full backup/restore of my system because 1 of my RAID volume has failed. (My computer is less than 6 months old). I was ignorant when I bought my new system Vista Home Premium won't let me create this type of backup.

    In order to get this feature that I have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for $220? This seems a little high for a function. Also if I update can I erase on my current hard drive when you install the upgraded operating system (i.e. I have to reinstall everything anyway since the full backup/restore will not work until the new operating system is installed)?

  • Windows Vista backup and restore: no path to write the disc label

    Original title: Back-up-Windows Vista

    Automatic backup on windows vista provides a label to write on the dvd in the external disk drive. There is no pop-up window to indicate where to write that the label - so fails it AutoSave.

    When I insert a blank DVD RW in the drive E back-up indicates firstly that there is no disc in drive E. When I insert this disc a second time, that a pop-up window indicates that I have to label this disk as shown above, but there is no path [local] who then shows how to label this disc.

    Brucebkb123,

    I would, if I were you, save all the time and the aggravation of the use of DVDs for backup of files.
    Go to a RELIABLE computer store (not Best Buy), ask for an EXTERNAL hard drive for backup of files. Not the 'E' drive that you said. This isn't an external hard drive.
    Today, a drive Ext. hard can easily be done for less than $100. It is well worth, instead of pulling your hair.

    Make sure what you say "external hard drive for backing up files.

  • Reference Dell backup and restore - "an error occurred during the creation of the backup of the system"

    I have a Dell XPS-8700 running Windows 7.  I bought the Dell Backup and Recovery Premium Edition.

    I was able to create a backup bootable (hot spare), and I can create a backup of data on my external hard drive.  However, whenever I try to create a backup on my external hard drive system, after about three seconds in the process, he returned: "an error occurred during the creation of the backup of the system.

    How can I create a backup of the system?  Why I get this error?

    Thanks for all the info. My situation sounds very similar to yours.

    I removed using Add/REMOVE programs in the control panel DBR and he removed cleanly.

    V1.7.1.2 downloaded and executed new facility.

    When I ran, it was my premium license key so he had yet to register and was not removed by uninstall.

    As before, Rescue Disk ran and installed the new partition (DBR_BOOT) on WD Passport.

    However, backup system immediately stopped with disconnected, missing target location or full. Tried several times...

    In any case, sounds like you have solved your problem, so you like OP should this brand this post/thread as answered. I will continue to post on my other thread.

  • Is there a way to backup bookmarks Firefox 4 (running on Android 2.3) on an SD card?

    I was wondering is there a tool that can save my favorites on the SD card?

    It is not a simple way to backup/restore bookmarks to the SD in Firefox 4 for Android. To backup and restore bookmarks in Firefox 4, the easiest method is to use Firefox Sync. Someone can also write an add-on that offers a way to save on the SD card.

    If you move the Firefox application to the SD card (in the 'Applications' on the application of the Android settings section) and then run, and then your whole profile will be moved to the SD card. You can then use your computer to back up files in the "bookmarkbackups" folder in your profile.

  • Can I copy PSE13 to new computer catalog instead of backup and restore?

    Try to PSE13 my old laptop backup and restore my new on PSE13on, the backup on the old laptop crashes after several hours. Instead, I copied all the files (images and catalogue of images, c.36, 000) for the new laptop, but although the path structure is identical, PSE13 does not connect to the images he's always looking for the old name of the hard drive on the old laptop. I seem not to be able to solve the problem of backup on the old laptop, so is anyway to try to get the catalog on the new laptop to connect to the images on the new laptop? I have it reconnected one or two images manually in the hope that he would teach the new laptop on the same structure for the remaining images but if I have to reconnect each (several hundred files) it may take the rest of my life!

    You can copy the folder from catalog where you want on the new computer, but as you have discovered, the links in the catalog will still point to the old drive (the drive letter is not enough, the serial number is saved in the database).

    So, you can:

    -try to reconnect. Maybe it's a very long work, but see:

    http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/How-do-i-reconnect-missing-files-in.html

    -try to assign the same internal serial number to your drive. Read more:

    1. Since when are you facing this problem?
    2. did you of recent changes to the computer before this problem?
    3. who is the backup utility you use?

    I suggest you follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: Check if the shadow copy of Volume run:
    (a) click Start.
    (b) in the search box, type Servcies.msc
    shadow copy Volume c) right-click and go to properties.
    (d) select Automatic (Delayed) in the menu Start menu type drop-down.
     
    Method 2
    Check if there is enough disk space to perform the backup on your computer. You can also use Disk Cleanup to free disk space and try to perform the backup.

    Method 3: Set the active partition.
     
    1. Click Start, type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
    2. right click on the C: partition and select Mark partition as active (by default the c: has windows installed on it. If you have installed windows vista on any other drive, then select this partition).

  • Windows backup and restore inefficiency

    I use Windows Backup and Restore to backup personal files from my desktop Win 7 to an external HD. Then, from there, I use Windows Backup and Restore to "restore" my files to backup data to a second location, my laptop.

    It works fine but there is what appears to be a huge inefficiency as part of the restoration of this process: When Restore detects a file on my laptop to a previous restoration with the same name in the form of the new backup file to restore, it offers only two options: overwrite the saved old file with the new backup file , or jump and don't write anything.

    There is no reference to a third option: overwrite old files if and only if the new files with the same name have a date-time later.

    If I do regular backups, it should expect that most of the files in the backup of the former will have not changed in the new backup. But if I choose the option to NOT overwrite the old files of the same name, old file of the same thing, but even with the new dates and times get skipped also and not are not updated. (Given that the choice of the screen jumps to for each of hundreds or thousands of files with the same name in two backups, I check the little box to make the same choice for ALL these cases, rather than manually examining each instance.)

    So if I select the option to change the value nothing, backup and restore is worthless because newly saved files with a more late date-time than in the previous backup will be not updated in the restoration. If I decide to choose to overwrite the previous version of the file was changed or not since the last 'restore' (which is what I do), then use of time and energy of the restore process is increased enormously.

    Y at - it a setting I'm missing that would restore process has replaced the files of previous restorations if and only if the new version of the files have a date-time later?

    If not, this very simple option can be added to backup windows and restore utility?

    If you want this level of options, use a third-party backup application.

    Or wait in the hope that the next version of win may have the added options
