Windows backup was interrupted by a Windows Update.

Windows backup was interrupted by a Windows Update. The computer turns off and restarted, the backup was reported as being down.  It's on the DVD #42 (I am a photographer with a lot of GBs, it was the first time run the automatic weekly backup, so it's back up everything).

I started another backup and was instructed to label the backup as #1 drive. My two questions are: is there a way to tell how many records I need until I run a backup. and 2. Is this pick up where the backup failed had stopped or I'm going to need an another 42 DVD?

Thanks for your help! Lisa

Vista does not tell you how many records will be necessary - this is not one of its features (but it is a good idea).  You just have to check what you have selected in the backup, total, divided by the size of each disk can hold and come with your best estimate.

In my opinion, he will leave from the beginning - no choice upward where it was stopped (I don't think it's possible with any version of Vista or any type of backup you choose).  Vista keeps not an account of what is and has not been supported that can be used to pick up where it left off (well, he has a record, but it is not accessible for this purpose) - this is especially true if you already have another backup (although I don't think it would have been possible to resume where you left in any case).  You may need more than another 42 records because he had not done and we don't know how it will be eventually required - we can say that you will need at LEAST an another 42.

If you use that many discs, may I suggest you get a USB external hard drive and use that instead for your backups - it will be much easier and you won't have to change disks.  They are not that expensive these days-make sure it's big enough to save what you want to back up and give you plenty of extra space because you'll use it quickly upward.

Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but the Vista backup program is not the best available and has a lot of limitations and problems (but it's free and it works essentially for to use us it).

BTW, next time, turn off the automatic updates AND disable your security software before making the next backup.  Turn them back on when the backup is complete.

Good luck!

  • How to delete Windows Update backup files

    In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

    http://taurarian.MVPs.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  • Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator

Now my Update window buttons are missing from start / all programs/windows update and Internet explore/tools/windows update. When I do a windows update, I get a message error "windows update was disabled by your system administrator. If I set the automatic update, it works fine. I preferred to do windows update manually, so it don't interrupt me wile I do something. I've been in contact with the software support and they tell me to do the antivirus scans. I ran malwarebytes, found nothing. Kaspersky found some problems and clean. I've been in touch with tech Kaspersky forum and they give me a certificate of good health. No two seem to be much help to solve the problem.  I can't know this, but I think not what what Kaspersky found in my firefox cache caused this. Can you help me solve this problem?

  • Ask Windows Update to install the Vista SP2, which was installed years ago and won't let me install Live Essentials for the same reason.

    Windows Update is now always ask to install the Vista SP2, which was installed years ago. When you try to install through Windows Update, it concludes the installation like ok, then once again it shows in Windows Update. When I try via stand-alone, it is said that SP1 is not installed. Of course, it is. In any case tried to reinstall and he wrote is already installed. I'm sure I installed both SPS long ago, but none of them show in the updates installed.

    Hi guys

    I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

  • Help! Impossible to open or run almost all programs after Windows Update KB976002 'Browser Chooser' was automatically installed.

    I had, very unwisely, allowed the Windows updates should be installed automatically.  An update installed itself on 15 March 2010, KB976002 who is called the browser selector.  This canoe be uninstalled and reading other forums, I understand it could be something that was forced into the EU.  His goal is probably to allow users of two or more internet browsers to choose how they hire, but since it installed itself that I could not open or run most of the other programs including MS Office, Skype, iTunes, while others can be opened only if chosen to be administrator.  If I could, I would like to uninstall this update.  Similar defects there?  Any help please?

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

    Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

    System restore steps according to the info above.

    Also:

    2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Windows XP sp3 with IE6. All updates applied excluding this last batch with the numbers you mention, except for two of them.
    I can tell you that, just as usual, the yellow icon was present when downloading these updates were. Then he disappeared after that that they have been fully downloaded.
    Interestingly, I went to Microsoft Update to check to see the new updates and found downloaded after checked for updates, BUT when I dropped down the details for them they all showed 0 KB!

    kb8900380 is the edition of August 2011 of malware removal tool.
    I tested and found that it was actually installed and worked.
    Just one thing. I noticed on restart every time the yellow icon appears in the status bar but only flashes for a second or two, then
    disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.
    I then checked the taskbar customize notification and I found that it presents itself as an element of the past and said that it is associated with the download of updates.

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
    I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
    Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
    I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
    You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
    Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
    Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
    Finally, Syed:
    If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
    I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.
