• Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

  I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

  Now, I get the message:

  "Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 8007003)) "whenever I have backup my computer.

  As I understand it, that does not affect really any other files, they rely on the spot (I think), but

  HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS MESSAGE? or what is the cause?  Of course, I could use help in simple English, step by step, as I'm not very techno...

  Hi serene,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

  • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
  • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
    1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
    2. In the section back up , click change settings.
    3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
    4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
    5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
    6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
    7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
    8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

  Hi ronreyna,

  Try the following steps:

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 ---> how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)
