Move the Windows Backup system image and backup to a new hard disc

Hi all

I got a new external hard drive because my old external hard drive was not large enough to hold all my backups.  Now, I would like to move the backup from the old hard drive to the new hard drive.  It is really easy to start from scratch on the new drive, but about two months ago of backup history on the old disk I want to keep if I can.  Also, I can't figure this out on my own because it seems that the backups are stored in hidden or system files, or which are prohibited and require special authentication.

Can someone help me find the location of the backups on my old hard drive?  Or is there something I should do in Windows that will transfer the data for me?

Thank you very much!

Kevin

The name of the folder that store all backups of your image is: X:\WindowsImageBackup\

Where X: is the drive letter of the external drive.

If you also created backups of files and folders these are also easily spotted. If for some reason you can't locate/view this file enable "Show hidden folders and files" in Windows Explorer.

  • 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.

    Hi Charles,

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I'll certainly try and help you perform the backup.

    Until we start could you give us some more information?

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any anti-virus installed on the computer program?

    3. What are the troubleshooting steps correct you have taken to correct the problem?

    4. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to re check the service as long as this error usually occurs if one of the services required for the backup Windows for work is disabled or has not started.

    To check the services, click Start, in the Start Search bar type services , and then press enter.

    Please check that the following services are enabled:

    -"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) must be active, Automatic.

    'COM + Event System"(System events) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    -'System Event Notification Service"(SENSE) must be active, Automatic.

    -"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider' (SWPRV) must beactivated en, Manuel.

    Once you make changes according to the above specifications, you can try a backup and check to see if that solves the problem.

    I also suggest you to run a SFC scan (System File Checker). This will replace the corrupted Windows files.

    Here are a few articles on Windows backup.

  • The create a System Image will save the FPGA code and the RT code?

    I have some cRIO systems which were broadcast in our manufacturing plant for some time. A slight problem has been discovered in the programming and created a workaround solution, but a fix should be implemented. Currently, I have no way to test my new code without loading on the cRIO and it works on the tool while the product is running. If there is a problem and I need to do some debugging, the tool cannot be down for an extended period. I would write a vi that will save an image of the cRIO so I can reload the software that is currently running and prevent a situation of prolonged downtime.

    My question is, when I did in the past with a product that has different tests, calibration and the final client software RT, it seems that the code FPGA not be saved (not a big deal at the time since the new FPGA code was compatible with different deployments RT). The new FPGA code won't be compatible with the old RT software, so now I'm worried. I would like to just check on it until I have all the boss breathing down my neck. If the service will not save the bitfile FPGA, is there anything else I can do for the tool to return to the previous running state while I solved problems that may exist with the new code review? The original code was lost by my predecessor. Otherwise, I would use just that.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    You are right, because the create a System Image does not record the bitfile with the image of the RT. Using the configuration system API, you will need to deploy the RT image and then the bitfile FPGA compiled later. To ensure that you can return to the previous version of the software running on your RIOs, you could simply save the current image and bitfile before deploying the new image and bitfile.

    However, the best way to proceed is to use replication Deployment Utility (RAD of OR). I have provided the link to the tutorial on the wheel, where you can download the utility. This exe will make images of the any of your RT targets and will also include the bitfiles with them. You can also deploy these images to several targets at once. In particular, you can read about the Bitfile (s) configure for FPGA Deployment Flash; the bitfile will be deployed at the start when stored in flash memory.

  • Partition of WINDOWS 7 system utility and reserved "hidden" image

    I used the WIN 7 system image utility before, but I must admit it took several attempts to work around the problem of the score of "shadow".  Nevertheless, I had done, but did not write the procedure.  I want to create an updated image.  The dialog box indicating that the image was created successfully appears.

    Not being not confident of WINDOWS, I took blank hard drives & restored the image & it wouldn't boot.  I got was a flashing 'MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM '.  I've booted from WIN 7 DVD & entered the prompt command & reviewed directories of the restored image & the \WINDOWS\system32 directory exist.
    I don't remember this before, but I need to assign a drive letter to the partition of "shadow" & what to include in the picture as well?  I thought that the content of this partition automatically copied imaging utility & created a new partition of shadow on the readers that the image is restored.  Am I incorrect?

    I guess I solved my issue. I did not include this player in the exploitation of the IMAGE & assign letter of the score of "shadow". I restored the image successfully. I presumed that the startup config info would be ddinterrogated & copied by DEFAULT. I guess I guess THAT too.

    Hello

    I have a new laptop Sony Vaio 15 did run Windows 8.  The only thing installed since the English language pack (it's a portable Japanese), as well as the updates of Windows of ~ 45 that are currently available.  He is running Trend Micro Security Center (I have initially well could hold a part of progress with my image system recovery disc).

    I tried to use the recovery of files of Windows 7 system to create a system image.  However, I keep getting the error message "the backup failed.  Data error (cyclic redundancy check).  (0 x 80070017). "I tried to save the system image on a recordable Blu - ray 25 GB disk.  If I do the same exact process on a Windows 7 machine I am able to create the image of the system, which would extend many Blu - ray discs.

    On the same screen for the creation of the image of the system, it has also an option to use the Windows backup utility.  However, when you save the removable backup media (DVD/Blu-ray) the program keeps me save an image of the system because "scheduled backup of the system image is not allowed on removable devices.  You can try to save a system image unique to this unit by clicking on create a system image in Windows 7 file recovery Control Panel. "It also goes on to say"other people might be able to access your backup on this type of situation.  The current system doesn't support setting permissions of security on the files.  Thus, your backed up files are accessible by anyone with physical access to the device. »

    Hi Stuart,

    The 0 x 80070017, error you provided we usually means bad media.

    I suggest trying to use another drive and check if that helps.

    The system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files.
