• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• Trying to move a large file on external hard drive

  I have a 119gig .bkf file on my desktop and I am trying to move to a new disk 320gig external hard. I get a message that there is not enough space on the disk. If I reformat the external hard drive from FAT to NTFS it work or do I start the backup utility and save it to the external hard drive? On my desk .bkf file took almost 8 hours to create. Don't want to do it again if I don't have to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

  You guessed correctly the problem. FAT32 is a 4 GB file size limitation. You need to format the drive NTFS. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

  My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

  Hi Sally,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

  1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
  2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
  3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

  There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

  Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

  Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

  Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

  To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

  (a) click Start.

  (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

  (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

  Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

  Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

  Click here to launch the Fixit.

  Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

  See: , disable the anti-virus software

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• How to backup my bookmarks on an external hard drive?

  Original title: hot to save my favorites on an external hard drive

  probably one simple question to others, but I would like to save my favorites on my external hard drive. How do I do that?

  Assuming you are asking about Favorites in Internet Explorer, the following comes from Internet Explorer Help (and then search for "Export Favorites").  It describes how to export your Favorites to a file:

  Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer

  Favorites, also known as bookmarks, are a convenient way to organize and find webpages that you visit frequently. If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can save your Favorites from one computer, and then import that list to another computer.

  To export favorites
  Follow these steps on the computer on which you export your Favorites from.

  Click to open Internet Explorer.

  Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the add to Favorites button, and then click Import and export.

  In the import/export settings dialog box, click Export to a file, and then click Next.

  Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.

  Select the folder that you want to export your Favorites to and then click Next.

  By default, Internet Explorer creates a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder. If you want to use a name other than bookmark.htm file or store the Favorites exported in a different folder, specify the new file and the name of the folder.

  Click Export. If you already have a file of the same name, Internet Explorer will ask you to replace it. If you want to replace the file, or click on no and enter a new file name, click Yes.

  Click Finish.

  Note
  If the folder you select cannot be written, as the Documents of another user folder, the export will fail. Repeat the export with another folder.

  To import favorites
  Follow these steps on the computer that you want to import your Favorites to.

  Click to open Internet Explorer.

  Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the add to Favorites button, and then click Import and export.

  In the import/export settings dialog box, click Import from a file, and then click Next.

  Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.

  By default, Internet Explorer is important from a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder, but you can tell it to import favorites that are saved under another name. Click Browse and select a file, type a location and a file name to import, or click next to accept the default value.

  Select the folder where you want to place the imported Favorites, and then click Import.

  Click Finish.

  Notes
  To share or transfer Favorites from one computer to another, export or copy the Bookmark.htm file to a disk or flash drive. You can then import your favorites of the disc or the flash drive on the new computer.

  Favorites from previous versions of Internet Explorer can be imported in this version.

  To print your list of favorites, open Bookmark.htm in Internet Explorer and then click Print.

• How can I make external hard drive, the restore points for windows 7

  Dear experts,
  My laptop Dell Studio 1558, pieces of 7,64 edition windows Home premium. I want to use external drive hard/Pen drives to achieve and many restore points. I have seagate Free Agent GoFlex 320GB.andTranscend JetFlash Pendrives 16 GB external hard drive. Is it possible to do in both of these external gadgets, restore points? Please specify the procedures in detail.
  Thank you very much.

  We must be clear on what you mean by "Restore Point."

  If by a restore point that you refer to the small key files backup made before a system change, it must be stored in the folder System Volume Information hidden on the hard disk the file is actually required, you can't edit this storage point (usually drive c :)). The only option you have is to set the amount of space to reserve for this purpose. Once you have defined, which then restore points are organized on a FIFO basis where when the space is too full for a new restore point the oldest is deposited.

  The alternative is going to be an image of the system. This will obviously be very wide for each backup, so if you want to do a number then you consider doing incremental backups. This way to make a complete and regular backup then or event based backup only the files that have changed. These backups are also defined as available points in the system restore utility.

• Best way backup external hard drives?

  SYSTEM INFORMATION:

  HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

  CURRENT BACKUP METHOD: I have three external hard drives (200 GB, 300GB, 750GB) all connected via USB.  I use the 750Go to back up the data on my 200 and 300 GB.  Currently, I manually copy all the files from the 750 GB smaller hard drives to save them.  It's very tedious because it takes about 5 hours to copy 200 GB of data.

  QUESTION: I've never used the 'Backup Now' tool (right click on the drive / properties / tools / backup now) to back up external hard drives.  It would be a better option for me instead of manually copying files to a post of h/d to another?  Can I automate backups?  How can I retrieve the backup should I need the data backup?

  Thank you very much

  Angela
