test the recovery of Dell DataSafe Local Backup

Hello

I searched Dell support forum, but only found audio and video material.  Weird, maybe it's me.
So I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum.

I have a Dell desktop computer.  I used Dell DataSafe Local Backup to create recovery content on USB flash drive.  The system came with the operating system on a DVD.  So I rely on this backup software.

I had to test the USB recovery on a virtual machine.

So, I tested the USB recovery in a virtual machine.  And, in the virtual machine it Dell DataSafe Local Backup put my recovery on drive E and I can't start.  Screenshot below.

I don't know what to do to complete the Dell DataSafe Local Backup test to confirm if it works or not.

If you can help I will appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hi Nohellphiccup,

Dell has replaced this utility with Dell backup and restore (DBAR). My suggestion would be to use it to create your recovery media.

  • [SOLVED] How to disable Dell Datasafe Local Backup

    The "Dell Datasafe Local Backup" program that appears in the status bar system on new Dell computers is not started in one of the methods traditionally used in Windows.  For this reason, the right way to prevent it from running at startup is not known, and most of the advice I found on the Internet suggests to uninstall the program completely, either intentionally it paralyzes by moving, deleting, or renaming one or the other files or folders it uses.  Instead, the right way to turn it off is to turn the "SoftThinks Agent Service" using the services Control Panel - specifically, by changing the startup type for this service of "Automatic" (delayed start) on "manual".  I'm posting this info here in the hope that other people will benefit from this information, and to stop the proliferation of bad advice such as what I found by searching for my solution.

    Your solution is much appreciated.  I do not use the Dell DataSafe local backup, and it seemed to bog down the boot process.  Thank you.

  • Dell DataSafe LOCAL Backup 2.0

    Is it possible to download an installer for Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0, or this utility is available with a factory download?

    Thanks for your advice.

    ---------

    To be very clear: I'm not asking questions about backup online Dell DataSafe and sharing. Please do not suggest that I visit this URL:

    http://www.Dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/shared/services/DataSafe/DataSafe?c=us&l=en&CS=19

    I wonder about Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0, which is described here:

    "What is Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0?"

    Thank you.

    ---------

    Please note: Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 is not offered through my Dell downloads. and it's not offered on the normal drivers and updates web page. Thank you.

    I just finished a "chat" with Dell technical support, and I got my answer:

    As I suspected, Dell licenses this software (possibly from Symantec) and Dell license does not allow to offer the software separately from the download of the factory. Therefore, if DataSafe Local Backup not shipped with your computer, you may not get it.

    The version of DataSafe Local Backup included with the download of the factory is fundamental; There are two additional versions: Pro and RAID1. Neither one is free, but you might be able to buy from Dell.

    Hello, it seems Dell support has a page dedicted to describe the differences in their free version and the paid version of Datasafe Local backup.  You can see here:

    DataSafe Basic is the default version and is delivered free, DataSafe Pro is the paid version. I hope this helps.

  • Limit on recovery with Dell DataSafe Local disks

    Is there a limit on the number of sets of recovery disks that I can do with the software Dell DataSafe Local provided on the Inspiron 17R we come to buy.   I did a set when the machine was first started.   After you install Norton Antivirus, MS Office and other software, I decided that a 2nd copy of recovery disks would be desirable, because no support Windows 7 installation is provided by Dell.

    Hi SCMBob1,

    So there is no limit on how many times you can create recovery media. For example, you can create multiple copies of recovery media. However, the recovery media is created on a recovery partition and it does not matter if you create media recovery before or after the installation of the software. If you use the recovery media to restore your computer, it will restore the computer as long as you plant, and you need to reinstall the software.

    I hope this helps.

  • Dell Datasafe local backup restpre hang up

    I recently bought a computer from Dell desktop with windows 7.  One of the first things I did was set up all my settings backup / schedule in Windows.  I used the Windows recommended default settings regarding data is saved and set my backup on external drive WD attached location.  Everything seems to work very well.

    That said, this machine has also installed backup software (Dell Datasafe local backup) which does its thing and data backup in a partition on the 'C' drive to the Dell factory.  My question is if I have install Windows to backup my data on an external drive, even do I the Dell Datasafe local backup program at all?  There are fears the program is using the space on my C drive and if the C drive should plant having the backup of information about this seems little useless for me anyway.

    Hi len62,

    the short answer is Yes you do not need datasafe, there is never two much back ups. as you never know when something will go wrong. and datasafe allows you repiar your system without losing the personal data or files. If your printer dell made a backup is corrupt then you have windows upward to fall back on and the opisite also apply. I am attaching the support link explianing what the in dell datasafe and benefits http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=ca&cs=cabsdt1&dl=false&l=en&s=bsd&docid=62A5FEC442F5C1CBE040AE0AB8E17091&doclang=en

  • Dell DataSafe - 'Create System Recovery' does not recognize my USB flash drive

    Hello

    I just set up my new laptop Inspiron and 'Dell DataSafe Local Backup Basic Edition' pops up advising me to "Create system recovery media" restore my system to its critical failure of hard disk factory settings.

    It gives me the option to save this on a disk or a USB Flash drive.  I have a drive hard laptop "Western Digital My Passport Essential' that I would use for this, that's why I chose the option of USB Flash drive.  However, I get a message "no USB key not found.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do to store the backup recovery system on my laptop hard drive?  (I know a recordable DVD will be probably easier, but I did not and do not want to buy a bunch of them just for that!)

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    Thank you

    I think you may be stuck. It may be opposing on the hard drive because there are already data on this topic.

  • DataSafe may not find the recovery Partition

    Hi, I have an Inspiron 1545 with Windows7 and I am creating a USB recovery in case the system has a problem. When you run the DataSafe Local Backup app, the main screen says that it can not locate the recovery partition. When you click Backup, and then create recovery system, options 'USB Flash Drive' media and "drives" are grayed out.

    If I look in disk management, the RECOVERY partition exists and is "healthy".

    What can I do to build recovery media?

    gossamer1
    Thanks a lot for your help. I'm still angry that, through the no fault of mine, the recovery partition is unusable. It seems that something in the previous attempt to create the recovery media corrupted the recovery partition.

    Its an inherent weakness of the recovery Partition. Any slight involuntary changes in the size of the file or the content may be corrupted. I was strongly against the recovery Partition and the end user, creating their own installation media of the political Recovery Partition OEM media of reduction that Microsoft pushed. However Windows 10 .isos being downloadable and constantly updated future distributions Windows should be acceptable.

    The installation of Windows 10 will ask my Service tag number? I don't see a license sticker Windows7 on the bottom of the laptop as I've seen in the past.

    Yes as it will search the Windows 7 COA under the battery of your system. Windows 10 should run fine on this model. I ran it on an older model without problems.

  • M6-1035dx Pavilion: clone SSD drive cannot locate the recovery Partition

    I recently bought a HD 500 GB of SSD to replace the original that came with the laptop.  The SSD drive I bought is slightly smaller than the original one.   I used the cloning software is Macrium.  Partitions, I am interested in cloning are the HPTools and recovery.  Stand have been cloned successfully by the software.  I put the active recovery as well.

    After swapping the drives, the system starts the HPTools immediately, but the options for the restoration part are "grayed out".  I can't access it.  I tried several times, and this is where I am stuck.  It seems that the recovery partition is not detected by the cloned HPTools.

    I do not have the recovery DVD, but I have the original HD with partitions intact and they work just fine because I recently test the recovery process.

    I missed well to clone the original HD somehow that the SSD is unable to detect the partition?  Maybe I missed a step?  The difference in the size of the hard drive causes a problem in the recovery process?  How can I remedy the situation and use my new SSD?

    Thank you for all your advice.

    Try the complete sector-by-sector disk cloning.  If you use Macrium, you will need a paid version. The free version just do enough for the advanced cloning procedure you need.  See the following web document to compare versions.

    http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

    BTW, an SSD detects nothing. This is the BIOS and the operating system that detects hardware, firmware and software.

    You can use HP recovery media successfully on an SSD or not, that has at least 160 GB of capacity. Your 500 GB SSD certainly has enough capacity.
