The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)
I installed a fresh Windows Vista installation on my desktop last month. SO far i never had any problem, it is working well. But since last three days i am trying to PC backup which every time gets failed with the following error message:
"The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)"
Actually backup starts properly after just after few minutes it ends up with that error message. Now idea what could be causing this. Any help will be appreciated

Have you tried Error Checking the drive? Right click a drive icon in Windows Explorer, Properties, tools tab. (needs a restart)

Hello tynana. I had this problem with my Vista Home Premium as well. After trying several things finally second attempt to Repair Install Vista from the (Medion) Recovery Disc worked fine. Since then i never had any problem with backup on this system so far. So i think you should give it a try.
Let me tell you that while repairing the same i deleted the newer nVidia graphics drivers from from the FileRepository in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore which has crashed my system several times.

If you are looking for a solution to a problem on Microsoft site make sure you go to www.support.microsoft.com. As I have found in the past that you get different and more helpful results than searching in www.microsoft.com.

I'm running Vista SP2 and just now had the same exact problem. In the past when I was unable to backup using the Windows program, a simple reboot would cure it, not this time. I Googled the error message and found myself here.
In my situation when I did a regedit, the first profile was the culprit. When I clicked on the profile in the left pane, the right pane displayed a 'default' I believe with the Value of: .DEFAULT
I exported that and immediately attempted a backup which this time started and seems to be going fine. (I'm still running the backup.)
I have no idea what caused this but am grateful to Google and to those who share their experiences.
Thanks!

So what if the profile image paths are correct and from time to time the backup fails? Today when I set the system to complete the backup it works but all backups that are setup to be completed automatically -- it stops and uses this error code.

This kind of problem occurs when the Windows Vista restore wizard cannot access the backup files because of denied access or because of missing or corrupted files. So to resolve this issue, follow the steps at this website and see if that solves the issue or not, that is given here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951002/en-us
