Windows backup did not complete successfully.

My backups attempts continue to fail with "Windows backup has not completely managed" and when I click on the 'Options' button, it gives me the details of why and wrote "the disk where your backups are saved doesn't have enough free space.

That is TOTALLY INCORRECT (it is a 1 TB 1000 GB hard drive) and my Windows 7 disc has only about 500 GB on it).

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed (a clean install, not upgrade). I'm looking to back up from my boot drive (it's a multiboot machine, this time Vista Ultimate 64 on drive C: and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on drive E :).) I have three other drives in this workstation HP xw 8200, two of them are used for backups, that is, "backups (Vista) (d)" and "backups (Windows 7) (f). All discs are 1 TB disks.

Okay, I realize NOW, the problem is that in Windows 7, when I use the default settings for backup, the utility is trying to establish an Image of TIMES my disk of Vista (c) system and the Windows disk (E :), which of course well exceeds the space that I have on my unique physical backup disk.) I realized this after I chose the option to just an image of the system and it shows the selected physical disks (C: and E :) with NO WAY to deselect the C: Vista drive even if I booted from a disk system/physical separate (Windows 7). This seems to be a very poor interface or inconsistent WRT backup under Windows 7. Vista Ultimate UI for backup did NOT have this behavior (i.e., it ONLY allows me to make an image of the C: drive system, for example, my Vista drive when I boot on Vista).

  • Windows Backup has not completed successfully error Code: 0x807800B4

    I've just set up this computer with Windows 7 Pro SP1, I installed a bunch of apps, do a disc repair system and now I'm trying to save up to a central device part DLINK which is my data storage component only CE.  (Appointed: DLINK-4AB714).  Backup windows will not let me create a system image, because the device doesn't use NTFS file system and it says that it cannot protect the backup.  Frankly, I don't like the so-called protection. I want it to save the dam of the road anyway.  Now, I tried twice with the normal process of backup tries to back up the drive c: as well as of the information system.  This gets more and creating a shadow copy and then begins to back up the data files, but one) it takes forever to displays detailed information, making it necessary for me to leave and let the computer do its work without supervision and b) somewhere in the process, it fails.

    It is supposed to be about 77 gigabytes of data on the disc and or the backup attempt exceeded about 15 GB.  The system is running Norton Internet Security, something that came with the motherboard that I bought, and I don't know if that is the cause of the problems or not.  It isn't Norton 360, which also has a backup function.  What I don't see is a lot of network activity between the computer and the DLINK, even Sharing Center when I see the backup giving me details about the files to be backed up.  I wonder if, somehow, the network inactivity is involved.

    Somehow, I have to get a full backup so that I can reconfigure my hardware and software of restoration. This is my current goal, but without the aid of successfully complete I can't move forward.

    Hi Henry, glad to hear that you are trying to do the right thing, better is now than regret it later.

    The error messages are warnings only (mine said safeguards would be unsecured), you should still be able to select the network as a viable situation drive, I tested it and it worked fine for me.

    If this doesn't help not you plan backup on a USB and then manually copying the backup to your network storage.

    My last option for you is to watch a 3rd third party tool for backup instead.

  • Windows backup does not complete successfully; ignored files

    Original title: backup Windows does not correctly complete

    My back procedure never seems to fill in correctly and there are always ignored files.

    I had a user account (missing) earlier (see my previous question linkhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7security/thread/e625349c-3d2c-46fd-bdaf-0b38f4172da6/ ) which resulted in a lot of ignored files mainly from the user account disappeared (from Control Panel and the Welcome screen). I deleted the user account through management of the computer and also physically deleted the folder. Now, I don't have as many files ignored but I still get the journal something like that.

    We suggest to create a new backup of the operating system to ensure that you will have a complete recovery Image. Since you get an error message that "backup have not installed successfully", it is possible that the backup created on your drive is damaged.

  • 0x800704D3 error: the backup was not completely successful. The application has been abandoned, as he tried to take backup

    Recently I had a problem with the combo of virus/malware.  Antivirus 2010, was then brought by an another 'guru' to download StopZilla.com who started the Delete files accompanying the computor.  I have kept and can't get rid of the problem, so decided to back up files, and then put in recovery disks.  Appeared at the end of backup files with the ninth disk, when the error message above has occurred.

    Hi beltwaytraveler,

    1. you have any third-party backup program installed?

    2 have you tried to use a different backup disk?

    Method 1:

    You can temporarily uninstall third-party anti-virus on your computer protection software and then check if the problem occurs.

    Note: Be sure to install the security software on the computer after you fix the problem.

    Method 2:

    You can also try to uninstall any third-party backup program installed on the computer and try the backup.

    Method 3:

    You try to run the following command and check if all third-party services are running other Microsoft services.

    a. Click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    vssadmin list writers

    c. check the VSS writers listed.

    If you see any third-party service other than Microsoft services running, and then let us know about it.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Why windows backup did not restore all my files?

    He was set to back up all the files (documents, music, photos, etc.), but I restored my latest backup of the system and it seems to have restored some valuable files that I thought it was supposed to be back up.

    Somewhat confusingly, I have a folder containing many shortcuts to some of the files that are apparently not here, but can open the destination via the shortcut folder although it don't or unable to display the folder in Windows Explorer.

    Any help to work out what is going on would be greatly appreciated!
    Matt.

    Display the hidden files and folders. If no go, sfc scan. They should bail out you.

  • Backup is not completed successfully: error 0 x 80070032

    I set up a scheduled backup of Windows 7 last week and was able to perform manual backups a few. Today, the continuous backup fault just after the end of the system image backup. The error is 0 x 80070032. I can't find any information on this error code, so I don't know where is the problem.

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I backup in a new external hard drive Seagate with 1 TB of space, so space is not a problem.

    Hi Ray,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    You can check if the backup and restore services are started when you try to make a back up of files.

    1. click on start

    2. in the start search box, type Services

    3. click right on - RUN as ADMINISTRATOR

    These are the services that must be running when you try to make a return to the top.

    Automatic started Windows event log
    Task Scheduler started auto
    Backup Windows stopped manual

    Security/antivirus/antispyware products also have been known to cause this problem. Try disabling the security software and check if you are able to go back to the top.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Hi ed202d.

    What happens if you go to disk management (right click computer, right-click Manage) and change the drive letter to a different letter?  To do this right click on the partition and select change driver letter and paths.

    Also check the security on the road - for this, right click on the drive, then go to properties, security.  For testing purposes, please add the user "Everyone" and give Everone all permissions on the drive.

    -Thank you
