Unable to backup on drive F or deletion of the D drive.

When I try a backup of my F drive, the program uses by default the D drive (which is now complete.  I tried repeatrdly to backup the disk F stand alone without success.  Also I don't know the way to delete the files from D drive.

I use a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720.

Help would be very appreciated.

Hi maryship,

For the backup location change of drive D to drive F, you will need to change the location of backup on the computer.

When you configure your computer to automatically back up files, you specify a location where the files will be stored. You can change this location if you run out of space in the current location or you want to change the type of storage location (for example, a DVD, a hard disk on your computer or a shared folder on another computer on a network).

1. open the Center to backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.
2. click on change settings.
3. click change backup settings, and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In order to delete the files to the D drive, you will need to delete the files you don't need.
Just right click on the files and then click on remove.

I hope this helps!

  • I deleted my phone after the backup of photos were also deleted from the computer and iCloud

    I have an iPhone 5 and after upgrading my phone and transfer pictures, my computer screen went to sleep while he was removing all transferred photos off my phone as I walked away. When I went back and opens the screen, deleting was stopped, and even if I tried to have the iPhoto to delete 517 photos that were transferred, it would not be. So, while my phone was still connected to the computer, I scored manually 88 photos on my phone, following on the computer, ensuring that each photo that I retreat the phone had been transferred to iPhoto. Then, I went in the "recently deleted" on my phone and deleted those as well, so they do not take place. When I got back to the computer for the next round, I realized every photo that I had just deleted my phone also disappeared from iPhoto! I even checked iCloud and they weren't there. How can I recover these 88 pictures I deleted from my phone and why the hell did remove it from the computer?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    My macbook pro has two hard drives, SSD 120 gb and 500 GB HARD drive. The HARD disk is a data disc and has been accidentally deleted from the Finder. I can't locate this drive anywhere in the computer.  It is a new drive and was only recently added to the mac.  Desperately need to find.

  • Unable to backup to and include the image of the system

    I tried running (on drive d) backup also create system recovery disk

    He kep omitting insuffient space evn if drive d was almost empty

    Look on even and found this

    Event ID 12348
    {Volume shadow copy Service warning: VSS was denied access to the root of the volume \?\Volume{f699b9db-c6e3-11e0-9c7c-90a4de532e50}. Administrators who denied volume roots can cause many unexpected shortcomings and will prevent VSS to work correctly. Check the security on the volume and try the operation again.

    I searched the net and found that if you have clicked on my computer you might find a hidden drive q

    The search in the registry, I can tell that the volume in question is the Q: drive, called 'Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 (protected).

    You cannot access because you are not the owner of this car.

    Apparently, this partition is created by Office 2010 Starter, which came with the netbook. Try to look at its security settings gives the error "You are not allowed to view or change the permissions of the object settings", even if I am logged on as administrator. Therefore, I can't even to the screen where I could take possession, or any other security changes.

    I'm only back up the C: drive, not on the Q: drive. My guess is that when the backup program try to access VSS, VSS wants to somehow access all local drives, while the backup program may not need all - but I do not know about you.

    You can test whether you have this problem by creating a shortcut to cmd.exe on the desktop

    Click on run as administrator

    then type in the vssadmin list shadows

    If you get an error message, it is because of vss cannot access drive q:

    as office2010 Starter doews does not support macros it is of no use to me so I took it in the Panel

    Backup now works without error that creates the system recovery disk

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

  • Transfer of files to a backup hard drive resets their dates

    This is the first time I started to transfer my data to a backup hard drive. I ran into some kind of complication, however. All records to be transferred, whether by copying or cutting, have their dates reset. Their creation dates are listed not is more like when they were created originally, but when they were transferred to the new hard disk. Fortunately, this does not affect the dates of the files inside of them, but this has made the Organization of various files - not to mention the question of being able to check while they were facts of being very problematic.

    What is the cause and how can I avoid it? Can I return these dates?

    What happens if you zip files and then copy the zip file and unzip it.  The dates change then?  If this isn't the case, you could do it like this.
