Why my system does not restore backup my files as he said he did?

Last weekend, my computer died a kernel error, but finally I managed to get the system restore... About half an hour in this she asked if I would backup my files, I got an external hard drive so I clicked 'Yes'

After FOUR hours, he had managed a massive 18%, and I was sick of it. I thought "it is saved all the stuff that are a huge pain in the rear to get back, we'll just do" so I cancelled.

Now I have time to copy all my files to my gf model (mine is now in the shop who have experienced failure of the drive terminal for the second time in less than 3 years) so I plug in there and nothing.

Nothing.

There is a folder that says it's the backup for that date files but it is empty. I go to the control panel to show hidden files and nothing. What he did for four hours? Where all these files I really need?

Hello

System Restore is different to the backup of your data files

and the system restore is different for the system recovery

System Restore puts your computer in time to previous windows settings

recovery of the system is reinstalled vista, back to the way you bought

If you have been back up your data as part of the procedure of restoration of manufacturers computer back to factory settings, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer on your missing data

Some manufacturers, we find a backup of the data as part of their recovery process

It's their recovery process not microsofts

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

    I backed up my phone using iCloud and reset my phone. now I want to restore back to the top, but I get a message that my Apple ID or the password is incorrect! It's strange because it's showing me the back ups I had before! meaning that it should have consulted my iCloud account! why he can't then restore?

    What is a used iPhone?  If so, to restore the phone, you could have operated in the lock of the Activation and it is requested for the former owners Apple ID and password:

  • Windows 8 update does not restore backed up files

    Yesterday I when I joined PC it was just a white screen. I opted to update my windows 8 and had to back up my profile and files on an external hard drive (which took 2-3 hours) a then update the operating system. In the end, he informed me that he was not able to restore my profile. While windows 8 works well now, my old files are in the backup drive and I have no idea how to restore it to my PC. What program or steps can I get back them?

  • Why my script does not work on all files in the folder?

    Hi , here's a script I've hobbled together from various sources using the search function on this forum. It is supposed to replace dashes quadratins in a file in a folder. However, when I run it, it only works on a single file. After making the changes and closes the first file, it stops. Can someone help me troubleshoot and resolve the problem?

    var destFolder sourceFolder, files, type sourceDoc file, targetFile, pdfSaveOpts;

    sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog;

    If (sourceFolder! = null)

    {

    files = new Array();

    fileType = "* .ai;

    files = sourceFolder.getFiles (file type);

    If (files.length > 0)

    {

    destFolder = sourceFolder;

    for (i = 0; i < files.length; i ++)

    {

    sourceDoc = app.open (files [i]); Returns the document object


    var active_doc = app.activeDocument;

    var search_string = '-';

    var replace_string = "\u2013;

    var text_frames = active_doc.textFrames;

    If (text_frames.length > 0)

    {

    for (var i = 0; i < text_frames.length; i ++)

    {

    var this_text_frame = text_frames [i];

    var new_string = this_text_frame.contents.replace (search_string, replace_string);

    If (new_string! = this_text_frame.contents)

    {

    this_text_frame.contents = new_string;

    }

    }

    sourceDoc.save ();

    sourceDoc.close ();

    }


    }

    }

    }

    you use the same variable (var I =...) for two loops, when you start to treat the first file I = 0, then after that loop you through all managers of related texts, I = 10 for example, then he wants to treat the next file, file [11] and if you have fewer files, it will stop, if you have more than 10 then it will continue...

    .. .change one of them to something else (var j =...)

    Hello

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point. Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive.

    I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

    Hi serene,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

    • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
    • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
      1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
      2. In the section back up , click change settings.
      3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
      4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
      5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
      6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
      7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
      8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the following article for troubleshooting backup problems.
