System Image Backup programmatically with c++

Hi, is it possible with C++ to backup the whole system image of your PC, meaning not just coping files, but the whole
operating system, with all its programs and files,
and to schedule to do it like once a week, including all the drives specified, I
have external HD 4TB, Seagate model (which i want to use as destination drive
to store disk image on it). I was unable use to
use Windows 7 System Image backup, since this type of HD (Seagate) is new and structured differently.
I am aware of a software like DiskWizard which can be found at:
http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/barracuda-xt/discwizard-master-dl/
which does the job, however, they sell one license for 1 PC, and i would want for more then one PC, like for at least 3.
Get back, thanks in advance.

Actually the correct solution, is to get the free software :
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/download.html
Since i have an external drive which is 512E as i was told, and other my internal HDD(s) are 4k, so Windows 7 backup unable to do the job, however this software works together with different types of HDD(s), and you can even
schedule a task, but the boot disk must be created first, then PDF file should be a great help, then backup VD, and add to schedule a task and
after apply.

How do I restore the computer from a system image backup?

Hi, Please help me.
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro on a HP Compac DX 7500
After a misfortune installation of VirtualBox I decided to make a system restore to the restore point I created just before the installation. That did not work at all.
Windows 8.1 does not boot any longer.
I have the following options for booting:
* Normal boot                                              Result: Logging in Then welcome. Than black
Esc Boot menu                                            I can select different drives for booting
                                                                       When selecting primary HD Same result as normal boot.
                                                                       I could boot from CD or DVD and maybe from an USB.
F9 Diagnostic boot                                   When running it I get the error code. See 1) below
F10 Setup Entering BIOS
F11 Recovery                                          Same result as normal boot.
F12 Boot from LAN
I have located the Windows Image backup folders. Should I put the image folder on a DVD or an USB drive and boot from that or how should I do?
1) Boot path testing. Error code: BIOHD-4 Uninitialized / corrupt boot structure detected.

If you got it by download and are still using the same Apple_ID, it is still sitting on Apple's Mac App store for re-download whenever necessary, such as after you wipe your computer.

Missing partitions after running Recovery from previous System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

After running Recovery from a recent Sytem Image Backup the LRS_ESP partition is now missing and the Used space on the PBR_DRV partition is reported as 95.20MB while it previously reported 9.52GB in use. The WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV, Windows8_OS and D:LENOVO partions appear to be OK.
I ran the Recover after replacing the original 500GB HDD with a 1TB. Any details/links/recommendations on recreating/correcting the LRS_ESP and PBR_DRV partitions? Thanks!

[Forum FAQ] Schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

As we known that there is no UI for user to configure Image backup in Windows 8.1, this is a guide for your to schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup.
Step 1: Create a task to schedule an image backup with following command:
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN WeeklyFullBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 13:00 /TR “wbAdmin Start Backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet”
Step 2: Schedule a robocopy to backup the saved image with BAT file:
Please create a new folder (in this example, the new folder is e:\test2) to save your multiple copies of image backup:
Write following batch file to copy backup and rename with backup date:
*****************BAT********************
@echo off
robocopy e:\test1\ e:\test2\ test.wim
ren e:\test2\test.wim test_%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.wim
NOTE: e:\test2 is my location to save multiple copies of image backup; e:\test1 is the location I create the system image backup.
This BAT can also help to rename the copy of image backup with date and time like below:
3. Set up a basic task in Task schedule:
Note: please make sure the time you configured follows the time you set for image backup in Step 1.
Action -> Create basic task (Name you task) -> Trigger (Set how often this task should be run) -> Action (Start a program) -> Under Program/script, point to your bat file you create in Step 2.b -> Finish
At the end, you can know more about SCHTASKS and Robocopy via following links:

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

Different background image (div) on each page of site complicated by template

Hope I can explain this: Below are specifics
- Using Dreamweaver cs5.5
- Making the pages from a template.
- Each page will have a different backround image; but the image is contained in a div tag (div name is .mainbackground) which runs behind the main core of the site, the image is not in the <body>
- The div .mainbackground is EDITABLE
- I have already made a specific css class to assign to that div on each page so that the image is different on each page.
- On the template page the div .mainbackground has no image class assigned to it (thus no background image)
- Since that div is editable I can then go into each page and assign the desired image class to it - works great. EXCEPT...... & here's my main question:
- In the code all of the other regions are contained IN that above mentioned div of .mainbackground SO that means that:
- if I need to update the structure of the pages I will have to remove the Editable region that controls the background image which would be - removing the .mainbackround editable region. Then go back to my template, make changes and save everything - thus all the changes will carry through to my other pages. This is good and bad because I would get all the structural changes but I would also loose all of the text specific to those pages.
-Then when I'm finished I would have to go back and first add an editable region back to the .mainbackground class and then re-apply the background classes back to the .mainbackground to fix the images on the pages again...
The site is very small site so I can deal with it but am I going about this all wrong?
Is there some template feature I'm not getting? I would like to keep using the template feature, and i do want a different pic on each page.....
I have attached a picture showing one page so you can see the background image - which will be different on each page.

If your Template has embedded CSS within the <head> tags, and the <head> has an editable region defined, you should be able to change styles in child pages.
TEMPLATE CODE:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.mainbackground { }
</style>
</head>


CHILD PAGE CODE:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.mainbackground {
background-image:url(page2-BG.jpg)
</style>
</head>
Give it a try.

System Image Backups fails after upgrading to Windows 8.1 with 0x80040154

Backed up a Windows 8.0 system to DVD with no issues. Upgraded the computer to 8.1, and now when we tried to backup the system to DVD, we are getting the error message "An error occurred, class not registered (0x80040154)"
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Hi,
According to your description,did you format the BD-R disc ?
Before you start system image backup, please format the BD-R disc.

Spry Menu Bar - Different Background Image Wanted for menu items

Hi, I've looked everywhere for help with this and just haven't found any answers yet ...
I want my Dreamweaver CS5.5 menu to look like this design I've done in PhotoShop ...
It's a simple one level list with no sub-levels.
Everything is good, except I can only set one background image for all the menu items at this level.
I want the first, last, and all the middle, menu items to use different background images.
I have no idea where or how to insert the code to set a different background image for each individual menu item ...
I know I could use images set one on top another in a column with rollover image swop, but the spry menu opens the door for dynamic content so I'm keen to get it working.
Manchester city council has a great example of this style of menu design working at - http://www.manchester.gov.uk/
They've got funky indenting of the text as well.
~~~~~~
This is the code for my menu list ...
<div class="sidebar1">
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
      <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">News</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Groups</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Events</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
         <li><a href="#">Help</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
This is how I set the background image (but I can only define one image) ...
I set the image background to "Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Top-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg" through ...
CSS Styles
SpryMenuBarVertical.css
ul.MenuBarVertical a
I then select the background category
and browse to the image file.
doing this changes my CSS code as follows ...
ul.MenuBarVertical li
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 170px;
    margin-top: 4px;
    margin-bottom: 4px;
    background: url(/Images/Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Top-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg);
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1020;
    cursor: default;
    width: 170px;
    left: -1000em;
    top: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 95%;
    background: url(/Images/Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Top-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg);
ul.MenuBarVertical a
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
    color: #0000;
    text-decoration: none;
    font: normal 12px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    background: #EEE url(/Images/Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Top-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg);
~~~~~~
These are the three images I want to apply to the top middle and bottom menu items :
Top menu item background image - "Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Top-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg"
Middle menu items background image - "Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Mid-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg"
Bottom menu item background image - "Menu-Nav-Bar-Pic-Bot-v1-w170px-h32px.jpg"
~~~~~~
As I am unable to set the menu items individually, this is how the menu looks like on my website at the moment ...
~~~~~~
So near yet so far ! I'm hapy with the verdana font, the image size and spacing, but the background images I just can't set them right.
I'd really appreciate any help on this as I'm out of ideas.
Thank you.

The easiest way is to use pseudo elements.
To style the first and last menu items ifferently to the rest, merely add :first-child and :last-child respectivly as follows
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
ul.MenuBarVertical li:first-child a {
    background-color: red;
    color: white;
ul.MenuBarVertical li:last-child a {
    background-color: green;
    color: yellow;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 5</a></li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
</script>
</body>
</html>
In your case, in liue of the background colour, you would have an image.

System Image Backup Failed During Backup

I have a 2 year old HP pavilion g series notebook. I was doing a system image backup onto dvd+r disks. It was nearly finished when on disk #99 I got this message "The Backup Failed. The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003)
My computer is out of warranty and I'm out $60 in disks if they can't be used. I need to know it there is a way to salvage what I saved and restart Image backup from where it left off?

Hi CherylLyme,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you were doing an image backup and when it was nearly finished you received the error (0x80070003). Here is a link to a Microsoft answer to assist you. Windows backup error 0x80070003 ( Answered by Vinod N)
I am unsure if you would be able to start again and pick up on disk 99, as once you have repaired it, it will have changed from when you first ran the backup. The disk you used were not read, writeable, so you would not be able to reuse them. You may find that an external drive would be a more economical way to do your backups. The data would be in one place and easier to store. If you decide to use a USB stick it must not be more then 32GB and will not say Windows 8 on it.
You can most likely purchase an External drive for about the cost of replacing the disks. Here is a link to HP Shopping External storage , but you can purchase one at many places, computer shops, Staples,Walmart, and Office Depot are just a few. I hope this helps.

System image backup error (0x80070021)

I have attempted to use the system image backup tool so I do not have to re-install everything in the event of HDD failure.
However, I receive an error (specified in title) that a process has locked a file, and it fails.
I have already tried closing every background task I can, but to no avail.
I am backing up to a LAN drive. (Seagate Central 3TB) It is running the latest firmware.
Thanks.

Using process monitor
FWIW what I was imagining might be possible is finding a file name which is causing the problem symptom. E.g. find where in the trace the message that you see is being written and then use that for context to see what was occurring just before that.
I mostly use ProcMon as a guide to my analysis of the existing diagnostics and, since I don't have access to the source or support documentation, as a supplement to their meaning. E.g. to get a list of all the files which are being written to
while your trace was running you can use the Count... tool. E.g. first filter on Operation Is Write then use Count... to see how many unique Path values there are associated with it. Once you have inferred where a particular message was written
you can then turn off your filter and go back to see what other registry and file accesses might have contributed to it. Otherwise it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the possible red herrings in a ProcMon trace. <eg>
I suspect that the two processes that you have found doing stuff are supposed to be doing those things. However, since I was unfamiliar with them I had to do a web search for each. The results of that would suggest looking in the Event log for
clues. So, if ProcMon shows your processes writing to the Event log, definitely have a look at them.
Good luck

System Image Backup fails in Surface Pro Win 8.1 with an error

I'm trying to create a system image backup by using "System Image Backup" tool that comes with Windows 8.1 without any success.
For this I went to "File History" tool and under this at the bottom-left hand side there is a link "System Image Backup". Then selected the drive and just clicked Next and Ok on the prompts.
I get the below error message around the last stage of the backup since the progress bar will be just around the finish line when
the below error pops up saying that the backup wasn't successful:
ERROR: "There was a failure while compacting the virtual had disk on the backup location. (0x80780151) Additional Information: Incorrect
function. (0x80070001)"
I'm using Verbatim 500GB portable hard drive. I have formatted it in NTFS file system as required by the backup tool. It has nothing
in it so it has enough space.
Thanks
