• Backup on a USB

  I am running Windows 7 and you want to back up to a 32 GB USB key. Although I insert the memory stick into a USB port on my computer don't see or does not recognize. What should I do?

  A DVD is indeed a valid backup media.  In some ways better because it is a form of physical media that cannot be damaged or erased, as long as keep you it clean and safe.  Problem with DVD for most people it's ability.  It holds about 4.7 gigabytes, and for many people, it takes a lot of them.

  It adds that, creating DVD takes a long time - as many times as of writing on an external drive.  The large external disks are just not that expensive.

• I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

  I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

  The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

  Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

  If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

  If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

• Could not open the backup files on a USB key

  I supported some (bkf) files on a USB key with XP. I transferred these files on another computer with XP. I can not open them on the other computer with XP and I can open them on the USB key.

  Hello sherbrookeqc,

  Before giving up on the .bkf files, look on the internet for the 3rd party software backup that restores the backup files in Windows XP. It could be your .bkf files are corrupted, but they may be recoverable using other sources.

  However, if the files are empty they may not be not recoverable.

  Good luck.

  Let us know if that helps.

  I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.

  
  Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 
  
  1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
  USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 
  
  2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
  Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
  continue. 
  
  3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
  perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 
  
  4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
  errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
  are automatically corrected. 
  
  5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
  there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 
  
  6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
  can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
  select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 
  
  7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
  ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
  respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
  is selected. 
  
  8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
  needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 
  
  9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
  backup. 
  
  10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
  settings. 
  
  11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
  backup. Click continue. 
  
  12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
  the system. 
  
  13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
  transferred. 
  
  14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
  up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
  what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
  restart. 
  
  15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 
  
  16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 
  
  17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
  informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
  USB Key and click restart. 
  
  18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
  drive and then click continue. 
  
  19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 
  
  20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
  up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
  marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
  site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
  needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
  and click close.

• Cannot re - install Windows7 from USB key created with Dell Datasafe Local Backup

  Hello

  I created Dell Datasafe Local Backup recovery media and stored on a USB key.

  However my laptop Dell Inspiron has only USB 3.0 ports so when I try to boot on the USB it tells me: "cannot find the image of system recovery. "If you try to restore your pc from a USB 3.0 (blue) USB Port please connect to another USB Port, restart your PC and try Recovery.

  If my laptop has no former USB 2 ports and, apparently, Windows 7 doesn't come with native support USB 3 so how can I re - install my system using the USB that I made Dell Datasafe Local backup?

  I tried to make a set of Dell Datasafe DVD, but it is not I think that there is a bug in the routine of Datasafe Local Backup DVD recovery media.

  Am I better off Dell asking to send me a re-installation OEM DVD set? How would I do that?

  Thank you.

  First of all try to change this setting in the BIOS Setup disable USB 3.0 features to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive

  Regarding the DVD of Reinstalaltion demand that I recommend. For US customers, there is a relocation brackets online application form. For customers not in the United States, you will need to contact Dell's technical support and ask for one. Customer numbers are available here. Once you have the DVD of resettlement follow my wiki A Clean install of Windows 7. If you have problems requesting the vote of reinstallation DVD on the poll here.

• Taken to the backup of the windows operating system 8 in a USB key (as a recovery drive) but...

  Hello

  I recently bought a Lenovo laptop, Y510p, with operating system Windows 8 unique language. The guy in the store who says his best to take backup of the operating system in a recovery USB disk and said it will take at least 22 GB of space. So, I bought a 32 GB usb 3 pen drive and stored the backup in there, but to my surprise, it took only 13 GB of space. Now, can't do anything with the space remaining on the USB key. My doubt is that, after 6 months or a year, is possible to move the backup content immediately of this 32 GB disk in an another USB 16 GB of space and the boot through it?

  Hi Natasha,.

  I understand that you have created a Windows 8 USB recovery disk and you found it took only 13 GB of your USB 32 GB. So, you want to know if you can transfer it to a 16 GB USB key and delete the one that you have created on the 32 GB drive so that you can use the drive for other purposes.

  We are not able to transfer the recovery image that you created on your USB stick 32 GB on an another USB. However, if your PC comes with a recovery on the hard drive partition, you simply copy the image recovery of this partition on your USB drive 16 GB and can use it as a recovery in the future.

  The recovery image is stored on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer. Windows 8 built-in tool lets you copy this partition recovery from the PC to the USB key. Please refer to the article below:

  Create a recovery USB disk

  Hope it will be useful.

• password does not stay when I transferred the file to a USB key

  Hello

  In my office, we have 2 different types of adobe, the licensed version for what we pay and some people have the free version, in both cases where we password protect a document and transfer it with a USB port on a different PC, password protection disappears. We have windows 8.1 and it becomes a real security problem. Can someone tell me how to fix this bug?

  I suspect that it is a possibility.

  The user opens the file.

  The user accesses the properties and sets a password.

  User is dragging the file on the USB key in Windows Explorer.

  The user closes the file.

  This is easily done and will of course leave a file unprotected on the USB.

  You can check this quietly looking at the modified date on the file on the USB key. If it has been modified until the user says that the password has been set, you can show that this is what happened.

• Faulty USB key

  I have a USB, I was working on something, and then suddenly the USB not working anymore, I wonder if this has something to do with the file I was working on or is the USB aisle and I can't use it. I have all the backups of my USB and I have important work on that in fact I remember deal files to the computer, but I deleted them that I also tried to put the USB key to a different computer, but still nothing happens.

  Which computers I used:

  Lenovo ThinkPad X 220 and

  Acer Travelmate P645-MG

  I need work on the memories soon Please update.

  This is a generic USB

  It is likely that the USB (I assume that's what you're referring to the) failed.

  You can try a few things - assuming that it displays in the list of the computer:

  Use Chkdsk: In the Accessories folder, right click on the command line item.

  When the black window, type chkdsk, space, (drive letter see you for this in the list of the computer), space/r.  For example, it might look like this: chkdsk f:/r, it is possible that the 'disc' is corrupt and chkdsk can fix.

  If this does not help, always assuming that it displays in the computer list, right-click on it and choose reformat.  This will make you lose data, but it might save the device.

  Keep in mind USB thumb drives are cheap.  Marks for not even.  USB 3.0 drives 32 GB go for about $20.

  Know as well as USB FLASH drives have a limited life span.  Technically, every time you write something, you ' wear it. "  They are good for move files from time to time, but not a good thing for backups or constant daily use.

• Cannot change the letter of the drive on a USB key in windows 8

  I have windows 8.  My wife has windows 7.  With each computer, I am unable to assign a number of drive on a used USB that I recently received.  My theory is that it's a disc designed to be spent as a backup drive that the OS of the computer can recognize but don't know how to interface with.  I was hoping someone might have some ideas.

  Each computer recognizes the drive, said it works fine with the latest version of the driver, and ready to use, but it does not appear as a disk on the DESKTOP.
  When I go to manage storage-> disk management, disk comes with two partitions in good health.  One is called EFI system partition.  EFI seems to mean "Extensible Firmware Interface".  I'm guessing that it is designed to act as the interface between the OS of the computer and the USB key.  The other is called primary Partition.  While all other readers list their NTFS file system, these two partitions do not list a file system, which makes me wonder if the operating system can recognize the format.   With a partition, if I click right, all options except "help" are grayed out.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

  Hey Joe,

  This problem can occur because of a damaged USB key.

  I suggest you to connect the USB on another computer and check if it works. If this does not work, you may need to contact the vendor which you get the USB key for help on this issue.

  Hope this information helps. If you need more assistance or information on this question, reply to this post. I'll be happy to help you.

• Space available USB keys

  Hi, I have a few (FAT32) USB key that I use as backups. I delete the files to send it to the trash, but when I try to use the system says there is not enough space. There is no indication in the Finder, but when I looked on the stick in a PC it showed a directory trash with files deleted in it. Hence the lack of space.

  How to bring back the full storage space?

  I like to keep interchangeability FAT32 format.

  Empty the trash before dislodge you.

• USB key used in iMac unrecognized by any other device

  Hi all, I recently encountered a problem using USB keys with my iMac 2010 10.11.3 running OSx.

  My iMac will recognize UBS sticks and allow me to save documents and files for them, but when I insert into any other device (e.g. a few friend PC and Macs, professional printers to Officeworks etc.) the USB stick is not recognized and does not see the same on their system.   Then when I insert the USB in my iMac, it is recognized immediately as well as its content.

  Before that, I was able to share files and documents with family, friends and clients on USB with no problems at all.

  I tried a variety of different USB keys (old and new) and what is happening to all of them, whatever the brand, age, size, etc.   Is produced only for a few months and at first I was in denial and thought that it was my friend PC, but now I see that it is certainly a problem with my iMac.  He may have started happening around the same time that when I upgraded to IE Captain earlier this year.

  Any ideas please?

  Thank you.

  The fact that this happens with different computers suggests that the problem could be the configuration.

  Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk utility. Insert your flash key and look at the settings. It may look like this:

  

  Everything on this list must be verified. While you're there, see if your USB is correctly configured:
