Windows 7 Windows backup "The backup failed." error

[dilipb]

I have a Win7 64-bit system and have been successfully using Windows backup on an approximately monthly basis. I ran it before going to bed last night and woke up to a "The backup failed." when I tried to create a system image of both of my hard discs. The error is "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)". I found a workaround solution at

Windows backup or restore errors 0x80070001, 0x81000037, or 0x80070003

and looked up and found a number of "junction points", most rooted at c:\Users\Dilip\AppData - but the problem is that there is no such folder. What can I do next to solve this problem? Thanks.

Yes, everything else is working as it has been, or at least so far ...

well if problem persisits, try comodo backup. It is a freeware and very easy to use

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that but will check it out if problems persist. Was I right that I can just boot with my repair disc to see if there are any problems and that it won't leave my system in a restored default state? I think I will also call the company tomorrow that put my hardware together and see if they have any suggestions. Thanks for all your help. --Dilip

There are some options under Repair w/out going back to default. Repair is not Recover or even Restore.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
