Windows 10: Error Code 0x8100002F

Help!

I get this error code when I try to do a backup on my Win 10 Box to an external drive.



Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\richa\Pictures. ErrorSTATUS_WAIT_2 (0x80070002))


I also attach a print screen.


Suggestions?

Thanking you in advance.

We are volunteers willing to help you try to resolve this issue.

Thoose errors should not affect the rest of the backup, however, redundancy of methods and devices is always the key.

Check this thread which is about the same error in Windows 7 though it fully still applies here to Windows 10.

Back-up error code 0x8100002F

Hi Andrew,

Error code 0x8100002F may occur if Windows Backup skips some files because Windows Backup can't find them. When performing a backup, it backs up your files through user libraries. So if Windows finds any change in the folder path, the libraries won't recognize
them.

In order to better assist you, we need the following information:

• What kind of back up are you trying to perform? Is it for the system or your personal files?
• How are you performing the back up?

We look forward to hearing from you.
