• Vista 64-bit Home Premium Backup and Restore

  -What is the backup program included with Vista 64-bit Home Prem supposed to create backup files in WinZip?

  Hi VanHylant,

  A backup file is a copy of a file that is stored in a separate location from the original.

  The backup file will have a .bkf file name extension. So let us try to uninstall Winzip and see if the problem is resolved.

• 0x8007001b with Vista Home Premium Center backup and restore backup failure

  I have my Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 with Vista Home Premium for about 8 months, and November 2007, backup windows, and restore program worked flawlessly. I was able to back up my music, photos and documents to a DVD on a regular basis. But then I started having an error halfway back up that says "drive cannot find the sector requested" with the 0x8007001b error code. It seems that the backup works partially - there are files on the DVD player but I don't know if it ends or not. I tried to do some research on Google and it seems that there is other people affected by this error, but I could not find suggested patches.

  Hi jennielah,

  Please use the Forum of the community for Vista.

  If it has started, use the system restore back to a point before you start. See below for instructions.

  If you can do that I have a work around you. Your specific error seems to relate to update failures, not only the Windows updates but the various failures of update.

  The job is to save it to your hard drive and copy the files on the DVD after the fact.

  I hope this helps.

  Please let us know if we can do something else.

  The System Restore tool

  Other troubleshooting methods, such as using the System File Checker tool, cannot solve the problem. If they do not resolve the problem, and the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start , type system restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue .

  1. In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point , and then click Next .

  2. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next .

  3. Click Finish .

     The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Here is a link to the system restore, if you would like more information

• How to start other backup sets using Vista Hm Prem backup and restore correct files list

  I use the bkup & restore functionality premium Vista Hm to bkup my pc data and programs for a Seagate ext HDD. It seemed to work fine with XP; now, I don't know. Here's a glimpse of what I shot of Microsoft & other sources on the operation of the backup process.

  When you start a bkup 'set' is created in a folder on the external HARD disk or other medium with a complete bkup of selected disks, partitions, etc. The following bkups are incremental files rather than full new copies, but these files are added to the original folder.

  Later, if you wish, you can create additional bkup sets by a new complete bkup that will be created in a new folder. The following incremental update for any complete bkups additional files will be saved in the parent folder. After starting an another full bkup, prior bkup overall is "sealed" or closed, so to speak; He will not receive any updates. Each set of bkup is assigned a unique name that includes full creation date bkup & times. I read in several places that you can REMOVE bkup sets simply deleting records set bkup on the ext HDD when using this device. My understanding is correct?

  • How do you start a 2nd bkup located in a new folder of Vista & restore backup? The only way I found, (I did a year ago), is to change the specifications bkup (disks, partitions in the bkup) to force a new complete bkup. This isn't a useful way to do this when you care change the source data.
  • Delete-restore question: I noticed before I couldn't get a 2010 older file that was in an available according to Vista records restore; Error = not found backup file!  Recently, after reading more, I checked the folders on the drive HARD Seagate Ext in Windows Explorer and found only 2 whole bkup - earlier was dated 25/09/2011. I next went to the center of Vista backup & restore for a list of the bkups over 30 days that I had. There were about 35 cases bkup dated prior to the 25/09/2011, which dates back to June 2010. I then tried to restore some files (of the folders listed in the backup restore Center &, but does not appear on the Ext HDD). I got the same msg of error as before every time I tried. I think that I have can I have deleted a bkup set off the ext HDD a year or more ago that contains these older files. Why the Center backup restore & still displays them? How can I fix the table in the center of backup restore &?

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  Are you referring to the full backup or a backup image?

  First of all, I would say that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

  Thank you, Ben (Project MVP)

  Hello

  be able to boot from a USB key depends on the properties of your motherboard

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  as you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

• Win 7 backup and restore, backup configuration does not work.

  Win 7 Home Premium Backup and restore, backup configuration does not work. I tried "clean boot", turned off all non-Microsoft services, pc restarted, Setup backup does not always work. When I click on the configuration backup, just open a Windows Explorer window in the System 32 folder. That's all. What now?

  This problem is caused by a 3rd party shell extension. To identify the incriminated extension, use ShellExView.

• 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

  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.

  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.

• Can I download or buy MS complete PC Backup and restore to my Home Premium Vista or a third-party equivalent?

  I've been on a computer for a year so there are a lot of things and I do not know, I had a virus my corrupted files and I had to wipe the hard drive and I want my system backup procedures. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a platform bit 68 I found it didn't have the complete PC Backup and restore program for backup. The system I save file, but not programs I could download, as I understand it, this program is in Business or Ultimate Vista OS so I wonder if I can download this program on my computer? Either the backup program by itself, or the program professional/ultimate, preferably something that is free.  Or can I download another program that does the same job? I found that I can backup to a virtual server, mounting vhd and MS virtual machine so I have this in mind too, for any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  No, you can not download this complete Vista PC Backup program and there is no platform bit 68 (try 64 bit)

• 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.

• Music and video through the center of backup and restore backup

  Vista Home Premium Centre of backup and restoration of claims that music and video files can be saved on CD or DVD. The structures of folders are created; However, the folders are empty. I disabled McAfee and tried with the same result. Can video and music files (mp3 and wma) be backed up by the backup center and restoration? Thank you.

  Hi ChicagoExPat,

  Make sure that the disks are writable, which means that you can add, remove, or modify the content. If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to backup, be sure to have enough disks to complete the job. The back up files Wizard you indicates how much space you need whenever you perform a backup and recommends the type of media to use.

• 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

• Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

  Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

  Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.
