Re: Windows 7 Backup Failed
The "access denied" is often due to either a change of duties on safety drives or folders (or changing the properties of reader and / or folders in the "safety"), is due to installation "shaky" third-party software security (firewall, as Zone-Alarm for example, or an anti-virus software, like Norton Internet Security example, etc. ...), or it can also happen with software management that locks the hard drive: example problem reassembled O & O Defrag.
Re: Windows 7 Backup Failed
A message that has a 1% chance to help. If you have encrypted files (shown in green) you can not program a backup of these files to a disk formatted as FAT32 (you can only to a partition to NTFS) I hope you get more answers for the other cases, because this is quiet a weird problem. try to check in the hard disk management and also check for a bad sector or so.
Re: Windows 7 Backup Failed
Make a check of the hard drive with chkdsk / r:
- Click Start, type CMD in the search box
- Right click CMD above and click run as administrator
- Type the following command and press <ENTER> then enter Chkdsk /R
Press Y (Letter) and restart the computer
It will make a hard disk check, it should let it continue.
So the following command sfc / scannow was from the same window.
Check in the services window that the service associated with the backup (Volume Shadow Copy) is started.
Re: Windows 7 Backup Failed
Hello you could try to disable shadow copies before making a backup. Go to Computer, right click on your hard drive, Properties / Disk Cleanup and click the More Options tab, you'll see System Restore and Shadow Copies. Since I do not have Vista on my computer, it is possible that disabling the snapshots, as you delete your restore points. To check if it's worth it for you .
