Windows 10: Getting error messages with Backup and Restore Windows 7

Hello,

I'm trying to backup with Backup and Restore Windows 7 on a Windows 10 Pro I get error messages of these. These directories do not exist in the exact location of E:\james\ they exist in E:\Users\james. How do I redirect these to the directories to E:\Users\james\ I tried googling the error message, tried different kinds of methods I don't like the methods I've used because they weren't correct, but I think this program is too dumb to figure out that these directories don't exist! is there somewhere I can edit it so that it just goes to E:\Users\james\


Backup encountered a problem while backing up file E:\james\Pictures\Camera Roll. Error:STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file E:\james\Documents. Error:STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file E:\james\Music. Error:STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file E:\james\Pictures. Error:STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file E:\james\Videos. Error:STATUS_WAIT_3 0x80070003


Thank you

:)

 

installing windows 10 backup and restore later

1. Backup Vista
2. Upgrade Vista->Windows 7 -> Windows 10. Get activated.
3. Backup Windows 10.
4. Clean Install Windows 10. Make sure still activated
5. Backup a fresh copy of Windows 10
6. Restore

To perform step 4 i will need to have downloaded an iso and create a dvd or usb to boot from.....so will not this ISO be ok and the one you mention ?

 

Windows 7 backup

Haven't used it but sounds like it based on Backup and Restore Center info found here. Says you can choose what files and folders if you want and also mentions a system image. Quicken has it's own backup option under one of the menus, use that too. I have for my mom and it's a breeze. Just reinstall app and use Restore in Quicken.

 

Windows 7 Backup question

Hi, I have Windows 7 x64 HP. I've used the backup and restore feature to backup on an external drive, and I've also burned a copy of the restore software that it wished me to burn onto a CD. My question is, if ever my PC fails or something and I need to restore my files, will I need anything beyond the external drive and the backup CD? Or will I need the original OS CD as well? I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista but I don't have my Vista disc anymore (lost it a long time ago), which basically means the Windows 7 upgrade disc shouldn't work either (to be honest, I haven't touched the disc in nearly a year so I don't really know where the W7 update disc is either :/). Thanks.
