  1. sys image backup does not work


    I am using an ASUS A88XM-A mother board.
    I have made several system image backups on several different external drives. When i have tried to recover my system with the the backup drives I get the message the file format is incorrect ntfs your bios is set to EFI?.
    This is new to me ,I have explored the Bios and can not find any settings for EFI.

    Can anyone enlighten me I am fed up of having to reload all my apps and software after having to re-install windows ten.

    Ps i formated the drives using windows ten. in admin tools and right click format.

    Regards Topper.

    :)

    Backup fails shows the error code 0x8007007B

    Eeshwar Kumar,



    Thanks for the response,



    Prior to your reply I tried clearing the USB drive and creating a Sys Image and it failed. Message was:



    Windows Backup encountered an error when writing data to the backup target. (0x80780166) time 26/05/2016 22:25 (UK time)

    Additional information:

    The system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002). I gave up after that.



    On receiving your reply today I created a Sys Restore point as advised.

    I then tried a Sys Image only and it worked ok and completed the task. It also advised to create a Sys Repair Disc which I have done although I did have one I created earlier.



    Creating a Sys Restore point seems a very easy and simple solution to resolve this issue and I’m a wee bit doubtful about it but I’m not a technical person. Perhaps it had something to do with clearing the USB drive (which was only 50% full). I will
    now wait and see if the scheduled Backup Files and Folders/ Sys Image task runs ok at 18:00 UK time. Hopefully it does the trick.

    I’ll let you know.

  3. Does System Image Backup include a File History backup

    Old title : File History and System Image Backup

    What do I look for on my external hard drive to verify that:

    1) File History backup was successful (date and size) and that it included all my Outlook files and

    2) that my System Image Backup was successful (date and size)?

    3) Does Sys Image Bkup include a File History bkup?

    Thanks

    sys image backup does not work

    Hi, can understand your frustration. Experience here has shown that sometimes using Windows Backup and Restore is not reliable. The recommendation I've seen a number of times from people who've used both is to use a more flexible 3rd party imaging program.

    Macrium Reflect (free) is often recommended. It offers many more features than Windows system imaging, and of course offers a boot disk.

    Hopefully someone familiar with Backup and Restore will comment on your specific issue.
