Backup completed but some files were skipped (Error code: 0x8100002F)

Hi! I created a system image for my Windows 10. After completion, I got the message, "The backup completed but some files were skipped."

Under "View skipped files," the report said

"Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Music. ErrorThe system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))" Upon checking my computer, I verified that the specified path does not exist indeed.

My questions are:

• Why did the backup process attempt to find that non-existent path in the first place?
• Is the resulting system image still functional, i.e., not corrupted? If it is damaged, how can I fix it?

 

The Backup completed but some files were skipped

Hi,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

We regret for the inconvenience. I would like to inform you that if you are trying to backup a file which is on the drive where the backup is being created, it will skip those files.

You may check in libraries if your personal files which you have already uninstalled are present there. If it’s there, you may delete those files & try to run the backup again.

You may also try the following steps and check if that helps:

• Restore default storage locations on all folders (i.e. Pictures, Documents, Downloads, Favorites, Searches etc...)
• Rename the folder in explorer to match the default folder.
• Restore the default libraries and run the back up.

Let us know the updated status and we'll be happy to assist.
