• Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

  My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

  Hi Sally,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

  1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
  2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
  3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

  There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

  Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

  Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

  Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

  To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

  (a) click Start.

  (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

  (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

  Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

  Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

  Click here to launch the Fixit.

  Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

  See: , disable the anti-virus software

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

  Hello how are you?
  DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

  I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

  (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

  (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

  If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

  All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

  Good luck.

• Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

  I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

  But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

  "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

  Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

  No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

• MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

  I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

  Hello

  When you perform a full backup of the computer, all programs, files and system settings are included.

• BlackBerry Smartphones really backup and restore for the OS upgrade

  Hi all

  I'm new in the world of BB and I love it.

  I've recently updated the OS of my BB "BOLD" and was a little surprised by the backup and restore process...

  He missed some relevant info such as: BB Messenger discussions, certain parameters (network, wifi, email passwords options options...).

  Is there a way to really back up everything before the update of the OS? That's all just annoying (even if it's no big deal, the vast majority is here...)

  Thank you and have a nice day.

  See you soon

  We are not effective, we are just bored.

  The difference is this: I saw the backup upgrade automatically deleted at the end of the upgrade process. Your backup beforehand will ensure you the data for use if necessary.

• Win 7: incrementing error backup and restore previous "Windows backup has not been implemented" and that "Windows cannot find a backup for this computer".

  * - Title original - Win 7: incrementing previous backup and restore

  Last week, I did a "backup and recovery" on my Win 7 64 bit computer, create a folder WindowsImageBackup 118 GB on an external HARD drive.

  I like incremental backup the same material on a base weekly, I tried to do the first incremental backup this morning.
  However, my "Backup and Restore" menu control configuration\systeme and securite\ tells me that "Windows backup was not put in place" and that "Windows cannot find a backup for this computer", even if the external HARD disk is attached and recognized.
  How can I set B R & to realize progressively the same backup that I did last week?  I don't want the schedule to run regularly, but will do it manually.
  Thank you

• What is the need for level 0 and level 1 backup?

  I am a bit confused about the need for level 0 and level 1 backup. Oracle has proposed strategy in 10g creates only level 1 backup continues to not to break and not to create any level of 0 after the first backup of level 0. But I had seen in the document Oracle Database Backup & Recovery basis he suggests to create backup of level 0 on weekly or monthly basis. There?
  
  Secondly according to my understanding when creating oracle backup of level 1 first creates a level 0 backup that contain also copies of data image files and then apply an incremental copies of the image, once the incremental backup is applied on the copy of the image you don't have to the previous incremental backups. Am I wrong?
  If I'm right, what is the difference between level 0 & backup of level 1? and after the level 0 backup you must also all previous backups.
  
  PL. help me to clarify my questions in this regard.
  
  Kind regards

  What is the most reliable in terms of recovery?

  I do not see the differences in terms of recovery, the two strategies are reliable.

  There is an advantage in terms of recovery time expected, Oracle says:

  /*
  Incorporate gradually update the backup in your backup strategy shortens the time of recovery as provided. The reason is that media recovery right now or at some point in the recent past may begin at the time of the last backup of level 1 applied, rather than at the time of the last full database backup.
  */

  In a regular incremental backup strategy you always go back to a level 0 backup and then to apply everything follows level 1 backups + archivelogs. But - for an incremental backup set to day - it's a little tricky to emerging a window of recovery, normally relies on redundancy 1, i.e. that a backup is retained, you cannot go back, this type of backup is designed for a quick and complete recovery.

  But there is a solution (I don't think there is place in EM), even if you're on 10g, see the 11 g documentation, he explains fuller:

• Do we need to disable Adobe products before reloading? Can I backup and restore without disabling? Reinstall Adobe products require first deactivation?

  I work for a firm of managed services. We need to reload the operating system on a client computer that uses the creative suite of Adobe products. Do we need to disable Adobe products before reloading? Can I backup and restore without disabling? Reinstall Adobe products require first deactivation?

  You must disable before uninstalling the software/system.  Just open one of the programs and choose Help-> Deactivate.  If it is part of a suite, it will disable the entire suite.  Products/suites separate need separate deactivations.

• EBS R12.2.4 db backup and restore

  Hello

  I need to make a database backup for security reasons. How I had to do in EBS? with expdp (.dmp) and a restoration with impdp (.dmp)

  or what is the process?

  Thank you.

  Luis.

  Hello

  Do not use the import/export for backup and restore. They are generally used to migrate a database to a new server or as an alternative to an upgrade of database.

  You must use RMAN after enabling archivelog mode.

  It allows you to perform backups hot, cloning of the database and many other things.

  If you don't/can't use it, you can make a cold backup of the database files.

  Kind regards

• Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

  When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

  If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

  The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

  \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

  Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

  Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

  Here is another article that explains how to:

  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

  If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

  There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

  A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

  With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

  They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

  It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

  Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

  Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):

  Acronis
  Macrium Reflect

• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

  See you soon.

• Backup and restore will not format disk

  I try to use Backup and Restore. When I click on the back of the files, I get a pop-up box that asks me to format the drive. After clicking on the Format, the following pop up box says unsuccessful Format. Sometimes, he also disk write-protected. I use Vista Home Premium and using an optical DVD +/-RW drive. I was unable to find anything on it. Has anyone else had this problem? What I can do. I check all the settings I can. Thanks for any help.

  Would you consider investing in an external USB drive and use it as your backup media.  This will work part-time full support until CD as the only hold about 700 MB of data and your hard drive is perhaps in a fit of 250 GB, what amounts to a large number of CD on current prices an external drive will pay for itself within a very short time and you are mucking around with several CD

  He needs that a defective CD or an unexpected shutdown to occur and you may lose all your backup met before this type of failure.  If you must use the CD then just use them to backup your important data.  If you need to perform a full restore, it may be faster in the long term to perform a recovery operation by using your installation media rather than feeding in a multitude of CD.

  One thing that I met, if you buy the CD on the main roads, is that, if they are not stored properly, at home or in a store, the last few CD inside tend to stick to the neighbor CD, which is not a good thing.

  My personal choice is to use a third-party imaging software to back up the entire partition or drive.  I save on a different hard drive installed.  You can use the external hard drive, I tried to sell you.  The entire backup (40 GB) takes about 10 minutes, with a restoration taking around the same time.  I double save my data more valuable, as well, of other external media, like USB, DVD, etc.
