• Cannot restore backup image Vista Home Premium Vista Ultimate

  So recently my house was broken into and my laptop stolen.  Fortunately, considerate thieves left my backup hard drive external, I used my destination for Vista Ultimate backups.

  Advance of 2 weeks and now I have a new laptop.  It has Vista Home premium installed. It is deplorable that I must pay for 2 because Microsoft OS assumed that I am a software pirate and does not give me an OEM OS disk, but I also use a version with fewer features.

  But I'm better.  Soon I discovered that my non "backups" are not all files that are not some base document/text/music files.  All my encrypted volumes that have my REALLY important files were not considered sufficiently specific to save Vista, probably because their extension wasn't .txt, .doc or .mp3.

  Fine.  In fact, I did disk-image backups.  As recently, you mind, but at least most of my stuff should be there.

  And, I can't restore my own disk-image backups because Vista Home Premium does not support.  Great, not only bought Vista * double *, I'm not allowed to retrieve the files that I recorded with a BONE that I bought and supposed to be always clean, but only in certain intellectual property of Kafka-esque fantasy land.

  I tried the 3rd party virtualization software to try to start the image (.vhd files). No go.  Can someone tell me how to recover my files?  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Ixne,

  We will not be able to recover an ultimate Image on Home Premium. However, if you have a backup of your entire PC, then you can try to do the same thing in Windows Recovery Mode.

  Starting with the DVD of the operating system, once you see the manufacturer of the screen, Tap "F8". Choose the option "full restoration of the PC.

  Hope this helps with your problem.

• Cannot restore files using Vista Business

  I made regular backups of my drives C and D for each week of March so far on an external drive.  K disk.  I did a clean install of the operating system by using a backup image provided by Dell, since I was unable to access the full backup of Windows.  Analysis of my drives would not find the file and tell that I needed a DVD system, given that readers would be reformatted.  I even tried to move the backup file to a new logical drive on the PC that was not not in the backup.  Anyway after that do a full restore the backup program will not otherwise the files on drive K only backup I just created which the program forced me to do before I could restore all the files?  K disk is now G disk, which is the problem?  I can't believe that the program will not restore any backup file created successfully. It's very frustrating.  Makes me wish "Driveimage" or "Norton Ghost".  I have 98 gigs of backups that can not be restored.

• How to take backup using Vista?

  Hello

  I had a discussion with my friends earlier about this couple but has not met a conclusion. So, I am posting this in this forum.

  If this position is suitable / needs to be displayed in any other forum, please re - routing the same. Thank you.

  Here is the scenerio: I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista 64 - bit Home edition preloaded. Since the day I got my laptop, there was a lot of windows updates which happened on my laptop. Now, thanks to a very slow performance of my laptop, I am planning to format my laptop and reload the image. Until everything is OK.

  Now, the real question is: after I have formatted the laptop, all updates must be applied, which will be required bandwidth to get it downloaded from the website of Ms. Is it possible to make a backup of my system, that will be only contains updates which has been applied since the last frame? If Yes, how should I do? Its for my laptop, so download these updates once more will cost a lot of bandwidth.

  Thanks in advance.

  SKG: Please marked as answer, if it solves your problem.

  Hello

  There is no option to save only the updates installed on your computer. Windows updates will start to install it again from the beginning.

  You can manually download and install the stand-alone versions of the updates from the link below:

• Restoring backup using Recovery Manager

  Recently, my HP laptop has crashed and cannot start windows Vista. I tried all the options in the Manager of recovery, but without success. So I prepare to perform a system recovery.

  I did a backup file in Recovery Manager. Before I have to clean the system, I want to make sure that the correct files have been backed up.

  My question is, can I run the "Backup.1.exe" backup file on another computer to view the files, or it will overwrite files currently on this computer?

  Thank you!

  Yes, you can run the 1st exe file that will extract all the files in a different folder on another computer.

• Restore files, backup created using Vista, you try to restore using XP

  I've known a failuren hard drive on my laptop running Vista Ultimate.  I have a backup on an external hard drive.

  I'm still hoping that I can recover data from faulty hard disk, but it doesn't look promising.

  In the meantime, I'm trying to restore the backup files using my previous laptop, which is running XP.  When I try to select the files to restore by using the backup/restore application, it can't find all the appropriate files.  He seems to want a file with an extension "BKF", but I can't find the external hard disk.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

• 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.

• 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.

  Hello

  That would simply not work well on a long term basis. Good backups using redundant methods is
  a very good idea.

  commercial 3rd party like RegRun (save a profile) can do these. Make sure and check with their
  methods and information support.

• Cannot restore backup successful - 0x8007007A Vista Home Premium error code

  I use Vista Home Premium that came with my laptop. I had a nightmare with my Dell Inspiron for the last two months. I finally gave up and decided to do a clean install, after completing a successful using the Vista Backup Backup Assistant. Now, here's the problem. I reinstalled Vista, and made sure I had all the Windows updates available. Now I want to restore my data from my removable hard drive files.

  I click on the Control Panel, system and maintenance, restore the backup files, Advanced Restore and select my removable hard drive (which is cool). Then, I get the following error message:

  "There was an unexpected error. The data area passed to a system call is too small. (0x8007007A).

  I tried to copy the backup file on my computer and going through the same process, but I get the same result.

  I'm at my wits end with this, I can see all the files on my portable hard drive so I know something is there, it's just Vista backup restore will not do its job.

  Help, please!

  First, disable any security software you have running on your system.

  Then connect the external drive and go to start / Control Panel / Adminiistrative tools / computer Managmernet / Disk Managment and change the drive the drive letter of bacckup (I don't know why, but I saw an answer where this atually worked so it's worth a try).

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  More than finding the cause, I want to eliminate anything that might interfere with the process.  Try the restore in clean mode to see if the tht works.  Don't forget to return the system to normal when done regardless of the result.

  There is not much on this error code and absolutely nothing of a value - only valid suggestion posted above.

  Here is some general information that can help (although unrelated to this particular error)) but it may be useful to solve the problem as a whole.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup ("Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available ' )

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• backup to restore on windows Vista 8?

  Hello, please someone can help me, I recently bought a new laptop that my old is dead (no longer re boots). The old laptop is running vista and I had saved on an external hard drive. Although with windows 8 it seems impossible to be able to restore through the history of the files. Is it really possible to do or not? I am very frustrated and annoyed by win 8, maybe I should just go with a Mac instead!

  It is possible to restore your backup from Vista on Windows 8. Here's how I did it:

  Come on in ""Control Panel ' -> system and security ->history of the files. "

  You will see 'recovery of files of Windows 7 ' on the left side at the bottom of the screen. Click on it to access a screen 'back up or restore your files' (it says Windows 7 but it works for Vista as well).

  Click on 'select another backup to restore files from'under'restore'. You will get a window asking you to select the backup location (make sure that the drive with the backup is connected to the computer). Click "Next" to continue.

  I hope this helps!
