backup issues

Back Story: I had an issue in the past were my computer would restart overnight (I assume it crashed) and upon trying to start up the computer it would not load Windows 7(W7) most of the time. To get it to load I would have to shut the computer down and leave it off for a while and then it would...

A few weeks ago I decided to do a clean install of a new (to me, anyway) version of Adobe Photoshop (I actually had two prior versions of Photoshop on my hard drive, so starting with the oldest one, I used "Revo Uninstaller" to remove them) I've used "Revo" for years because after it uses a...

Have an issues that's driving me crazy. I managed to do a drive image that also included my storage drive on an internal 1TB SATA drive. This, however, was the only one I was able to do. When I tried to run backup a second time, it would start, but then completely hang with only the...

I created first backup on an External Drive, which required twice the space as on C: drive, which I was backing up!.. There is a "WindowsImagebackup" folder plus a "Data file" named ""my name-PV", both of about equal size? Why two files? plus the issue of taking up twice the space of the...

OK, I know this thread is old, but I am having an issue with my pc locking up when I try and transfer files. The problem started when I had the bright idea of trying server 2008 with hyper v and running a vm on hyper v should have stuck with VMware. Any way the vm besides having no sound card...

Ok, my Mac crashed and I purchased a PC. I was finally able to copy over the files from my Mac backup drive (which has not comparable PC software). It all seemed great until I tried to view the folder backups.backupdb, which has 59 folders of backup data (all segregated by dates). If I view...

Using Windows 7 for 9 months with two external drives. This morning, neither drive is recognized. In Disk Management, both drives appear as "Unknown," and I am advised to "initialize disk." I right click on the drive and choose to initialize disk, but the reply I get is "Invalid Function."...

Not sure what happened but looks like I need to re-register some files but don't know which ones. I can get to the point of pushing the create button and entering the name of the point but once I push it, I get the error. Also, don't have any restore points. Computer is running fine...

Hi, The Hard drive recently died on my laptop and would not boot. I was able to copy some of the data off it by booting from a Linux CD before sending it back to the manufacturer. I now have a new drive and Windows 7 installed. Is there a way to import my mail account details and address...

Ok so I just notice a lot of my backed up files have all of a sudden gone missing from my NTFS non-system partition folder D:\Downloads\ . The folder itself was not entirely emptied however. If I go to the folder either in Windows 7 or Ubuntu from the same PC, the folder appears to be missing...

Something totally wierd and shocking happened with my machine running on Windows 7 today (25-06-10). This is what happened, everything was working fine till the evening. I was back home from a hard day, started my machine and i saw a message that windows has updates that needs to be...

I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) on my workstation, previously running Windows XP professional. My problem is that it is extremely unstable; It randomly restarts - my screen goes black and then it restarts. I have installed Windows 7 twice - on the first install. I had gotten...

Windows Backup doesn't detect my existing VHD file on the local hard drive I used Windows Backup to create a backup of my C: partition. Foolishly, I put it on drive D. Later, I realized that I shouldn't store it on the same physical disk with the C: partition, so I moved it to partition F: Last...

Well, here 'ya go. It's almost midnight. I have been working on this installation every night when I get home from work since Friday the 23rd. Many, many hours now. I'm going to reveal my solution to this installation problem right after this lengthy, yet abbriviated diatribe: I downloaded...

Having backed up the Outlook Inbox, Sent Item, etc to pst files prior to the build of Windows 7 Home, I get this message when I try & import the data back into Outlook. A Google search would indicate that this is a pretty common occurrence on other platforms as well but does anyone know why...

Before I came to post here, I considered every possible alternative to "it just dissapeared". I'm by no means a novice user, and also by no means a complete expert. I've been in user support for over 12+ years so I can safely assume I know what I'm talking about...and I hope you can too...

I just restored my system to W 7 Beta after struggling for much too long with the new RC Build 7100. I was trying the 64 bit version and I could not get it to work out for me at all! IE Explorer would not launch at all; just a brief flash on the screen. And I was not able to copy my files and...

I did a complete backup using Vista before sending my computer in for repair. I backed up to a USB portable drive. Then I formated the computer's disk to erase any information I had stored. Sent computer for repair and now it is back. When I go to the "Restore Files" I get the message "There are...
