Using network hard drive for backup

It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.

 

Files Not Backed Up

Hi,

Error code 0x80070002 may happen due to system file corruption. It can also affect a certain Windows functionality when backing up system files. For us to determine what's causing this error, we'd like to confirm the following information:

• 
  Are you attempting to backup to an external drive?
  
• 
  What is the size of the file that you are trying to backup?
  
• 
  What is the free space available on the external drive?
  
• Have you made any significant changes to your device prior to this happening?
• What steps have you done so far to resolve the issue?

Your response is greatly appreciated.

 

Backing things up

I've had problem with windows backup...as it will only allow you to bring back some files and settings if windows needs to be reinstalled...anything with a DRM or almost everything will have to be reinstalled as new...so if you want a mirror backup RAID1 is the way to go...

If it's not all that important then Windows backup is the way to go.
