Windows was not able to find any backup sets

My hard drive crashed yesterday. I knew it was coming and made a full backup of the system using Microsoft Backup and Restore last thing before it crashed. I backed up on my external hard drive. I replaced the failed hard drive and reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate x 32. Now when I go to the backup and restore, select Advanced Restore > Advanced Restore > files from a backup made on another computer > FreeAgent drive (f) (the name of the external HD), I get the error message "Windows could not find any backup sets on F:\.» Please select a different location. »

I can see various research (executed on another, operating system Windows 7, because I have no internet access on my computer that has only Windows Vista and nothing else installed on drive hard nine), I can not completely a cumbersome process involving download Virtual Server 2005 that it works, but I seem to not be able to find the download file to actually download.

  • Backup files Vista - "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."

    I have a Vista computer.  The hard drive broke so until I replaced it I backed up all the files on the computer to another computer running Windows 7. I did it in the backup and Restore Center.  I made a backup of files, not a full backup of the system (I've seen the full backup of the system mentioned in other posts, but that was not an option... maybe which is only available on Vista Premium).  In any case, I replaced the hard drive and then try to restore the files, but I get the message "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."  Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    Dear all,

    I have a Windows PC in my office. Because of some configuration issue, I deleted the domain user and tried to connect to the system with the same user credentials.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Backup and restore cannot find any backup sets.

    I had to reinstall windows 7 prof 64 using the original recovery partition and want to restore my data files that I had backed up using the backup and restore windows.  The files are on a network drive.  "When I run the restore I have 'Browse' the network choose the folder labeled" backup files aaaa-mm-jj xxxxxx "but it comes back with the error message: Windows could not find the backup sets on \\xxxxx please select a different location.

    Early research indicated it could be a permissions problem and the network drive is not a Microsoft Windows type disk I copied the folder and all the files on my C: drive and checked that they were all showing all permissions to all the users/system/everyone etc.  I tried again.  Same result.  I tried now selection of locations right differnet down the folder hierarchy (for example: in 'Catalogue' records and individual records date) but still get the same message.

    I realize that I could go in the individual zip files and restore everything manually, but the backup set has 9 different files and 525 zip datr files each with a tree long through the files of the hard disk C: before getting to the part of My Documents with data.

    It would be so much easier than Microsofts back/restore program does what it is supposed to do.  The only references I found in the web site of Support MS concerned questions of authorisation and in ensuring that the original folder is in the format "Yyyy-mm-dd of backup files xxxxxx"  I've done both.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Original title: restoration of Windows can't find the backup sets

    I solved the problem. It seems that, for a new installation (reinstallation of the operating system), it is necessary to set up a backup to the location of the original backup. After saving the new facility in the same place as the old backups, older backups are available to be applied.

  • Not able to find the backup recovery of KeePass

    I use KeePass to manage passwords. I just finished installing a SSD that has less capacity that made the boot partition, I started with that. To reduce the boot partition to fit on the SSD, I moved downloads and user data files to a partition on a hard drive. I made the registry changes required and tested that the system now handles these types of files correctly. Now, all that is good, but somehow in the process, I moved the KeePass database to a location where KP does not.

    I made backups, so I have the file database for KP. My problem is that I was not successful in getting the application and the database to do their thing together. I tried an import operation, but she didn't (don't know why). I was unable to find options to change the path to the database in the program options. They might be there, but I could not find them.

    If someone has experienced this or similar problems with KeePass and perfectly recovered of the database so that it would work KP, I be grateful to know how they did it.

    The cause of my problem was found and the problem solved.

    My problem is that the Composite master key stored in the database had no space to the right. However, I entered a trailing space over and over again without realizing it.  On another forum, I was challenged by a user and that woke me up to the blind spot.  I took care to select my key without a space to the right value.  After gluing and OK'ng, the entries appear immediately.

    Hope this helps someone else who might have a similar problem in the future.
