• every day, the backups fail

  as a computer geek friend helped me every day that I get the message that my "last backup failed" How can I fix?

• After using Windows 7 backup, Windows said: "the last backup failed."

  I use Windows 7 Pro backup each week to a separate hard drive. I needed to use the backup today. After using action Center says now that my last backup failed. It is still listed in the backup and it worked, then why is it listed as failed now?

  Event ID 4 means the backup completed successfully

  Have you compared the last backup to backup other files?

  You can try to perform a new backup to make sure that it works correctly.

  Antivirus software may have hindered during the backup process and triggered the message "failure of the last backup.  Turn it off when you run another backup.

  Good luck!

• iTunes backup fails - Solution: conflict with ZoneAlarm

  For the last 2 months my iTunes (12.3.3) on Windows 7 has been doing more slow slow and glacial as when attaching an iPhone or an iPad (iOS 9.3) for synchronization.

  Last week, I started to receive messages from "backup failed...". "and occasional 0xE8000003 and unable to connect at all errors.

  Apple Support Articles are excellent and give you all the variants. I tried:

  (1) different cables USB-brightening

  (2) different USB ports

  (3) turn off all firewall and virus software

  (3) change the iTunes library for the last one which had sync

  (4) by removing the Lockdown folder

  (5) removing all the old backup files

  (6) replaces the backup files with those who worked from a Mac

  (7) uninstall and then reinstall all the software Apple

  (8) repeated several times in different order

  Finally, I called Apple Support... which were promptly, asked all the right questions and eventually degenerated the problem to engineering. I can't say enough good things about the apple (Attaboy Gabe and JD) support. What is particularly remarkable because my problem was clear Windows on a PC!

  In the meantime, I decided to try not only leave my protection software (CheckPoint ZoneAlarm Extreme) but uninstall. After an uninstall using 'Clean' removal of Checkpoint app, I discovered several registry entries and many services are still active. Most annoying, they have been services that I had never activated to start (ZA Privacy Service, anti-theft ZoneAlarm and Zone Alarm AntiKeyLogger). Start in safe mode, I finally could remove these services and remove all debris from the registry.

  Success. iTunes is now responsive again and fast when I plug an external device!

  The lesson learned for me coming out of the firewall and antivirus that has worked in the past to isolate conflicts as it did not remove its tendrils in Windows as advertised. Even uninstalling was incomplete and left debris.

  Zone Alarm, followed...

  "They just released a new version today which lists the indefinable Fixed: incompatibility with ITunes" in the notes.

  The previous version that caused the problem was released on February 16, 2016, but there is no information in their support on any issues site.

  ZoneAlarm is repeated consumption of abnormal resources guilty and former bad behavior with iTunes. They blocked again.

  

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.

  • Data recovery backups fail to advance at the beginning of the task

  In the course of the incremental backup of a virtual machine, data recovery would not make progress and the backup appliance afficheraient 100% of the CPU. This situation persisted until the reboot of the device. Even after restarting the device backup, no progress was made on the incremental backup. It was the result of using the information about the last backup backup to create a new backup.

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• WHS client backup fails with an access denied error

  I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 on which I have installed the Windows Home Server 2011 connector and configuration backups for her. Backups fail at every attempt to return that an error prevented backup to create a snapshot of the volumes on this computer.

  The event log shows event ID 8194 by the following:

  The volume shadow copy Service error: error unexpected mark of the IVssWriterCallback interface. HR = 0 x 80070005 access is denied.

  . This is often caused by incorrect security settings in the process of the writer or the applicant.

  I tried to start the VSS service and tried the backup with the same result.

  The service runs with the same parameters the service runs on a computer that registers with success.

• Backup fails and imprisons the DVD + R in machine

  Please accept my apologies if this is a dumb question with an easy answer.

  I tried to run backup on HP G61-110SE (64-bit Edition Windows 7 Home Premium) that I bought a couple of weeks. I insert the DVD and let it roll. Backup goes to about 50% (over a period of what this is between 3 and 24 hours) then either hangs or advises the backup failed or the drive is faulty somehow and I need to insert another disc. At this point, I try to eject the disc (and we tried to push the button to insert a needle) and he refuses to eject. He even lets me know that he has failed to eject most of the time, but I tend to have already achieved it.

  I need to stop the laptop and eject while it is booting. This means that I have to cancel the backup and still failed to create. Backup restore & does not recognize a flash drive as available on DVD/CD alternative. A few times I even had to pull on the plug, remove the battery, leave it for a few minutes and turn (as they said of working when HP of the work cell phone froze at startup).

  I don't think I'm stupid, but my question is, I'm a fool for trying to use DVD + R or is there something more fundamentally wrong? All I want to do is create a set of backup disks!

  Help, please

  OK everybody! Problem solved.

  Not sure that the following items, which did the trick but I would go with the last of them;

  1. the audio and video dvd which worked well, then tried to backup Sony DVD + R again and it didn't burn. Then,.

  2 disabled Norton, disconnected from all internet and associated devices, ran to the backup for about 24 hours on a DVD + RW Verbatim and it hung at 61% and wouldn't release the drive. Then,.

  3. put the ball across the screen, took the phone upstairs and threw it out the window of the bedroom. Allow the dog to throw it in the garden for 15 minutes. He dropped out of the mouth of dogs, has been replaced power cord, put another ball by keyboard for good measure. Tried to launch backup and it failed. Finally,.

  4 bought some Sony DVD-R. Disabled Norton, etc., ran backup and it worked!

  My conclusion is that, after crossing a cake about 12 25 TDK DVD + R Sony DVD + R, 6 TDK DVD + RW and 1 Verbatim DVD + RW, it is perhaps that DVD-R is the format of the disc to go.

  P.S. If someone from Microsoft or HP is reading this, it might be interesting to convey this to new purchser of your products and the authors of manuals / "help" topics If anyone from Sony is reading this, I will gladly accept a gift of a cake of replacement of DVD + R for free advertising. If anyone from TDK is reading this... Sorry, do not use your brand again. No logical reason.

• Backup failed.

  I recently purchassed an external hard drive to back up my files.  When I tried to back up by using facility backup widows, I got the error measage:
  Backup failed.  a snapshot could not be created for the following reason: access denied (0x80070005).  I have rites of the administrator.

  Can someone explain why I can't back up to the external hard drive?

  Hi PaulO246,

  You have Roxio installed by any chance? This program known to cause problems with the Windows backup utility to back up open files.  If so, you might want to try to uninstall it to see that it will work.  You make sure that media to reinstall the program if necessary.

• System backup fails with the error no disk space

  I have a Dell laptop with Vista. There E. internal recovery disc I saved 1/2011, but subsequent backups fail, no disk space. The previous backup should be deleted everything first?  I'm afraid to delete all files on the recovery drive for fear of a further backup failure.  If there are files already on the drive if no changes have been made their backup just jump on them and backup new files?  I'm not a computer guru so sorry if these are questions fans.

  Hello

  When you set up your computer, you must create a backup image of the Windows computer, which is like taking a snapshot of the programs, system and files on your computer settings. You can use this backup if your computer ever stops. Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using the back up files Wizard. You must also update the Windows complete PC backup image every six months.

  If you copied the data from drive E to another location, then it is safe to delete the content in the reader.

• "Windows backup failed trying to read from shadow copy on one of the volumes to back up.

  I get the message "Windows backup failed while trying to read shadow copy on one of the volumes to back up" what backup operation is performed. I changed a few files backup and deleted files on the backup drive and think that this is related to the problem.  I need to know how to recreate the "cliché".

  Now, even if Essentials said it removed, I still see this file in the directory, so I removed it manually. I have not tried to restart the backup with Essentials, but can pretty much guess that it will work. Otherwise, it must at least point people in the right direction on how to fix this problem permanently.

• VM backups fail.

  VM snapshot backups fail for a SSN selected is something strange, we do not find problems with the store data or other components with respect to VMs for which backups are successful, can anyone put some light on this issue?

  Hello

  We had the similar problem, and we found that two or three virtual machines have more number of disks, as more than 30 and those are all covered only a few SCSCI controllers for disks (virtual hardware).

  And during our investigation, we noticed that there is a recommendation or best practices of VMWare, is that the number of disks per controller must not exceed more than 7.

  We have added several disk controllers to the session to match the recommendation and backups started working. Please check if your environment to fall the same scenario, if yes, this is the fix, you must try.

  You can not change/add online disk controllers, it's an activity desruptive, need to turn off the virtual machine, add additional disk controllers and then mix the allocation of disk among them.

  And shuffling disks do not hinder disk assignments inside of the guest OS, partitions and drive letters appear unchanged.

  Please let em know if this solution worked for you.

  Good luck!
