Windows 7 Backup and Restore error code 0x80070013 The media is write protected

I have had a problem using Windows 7 64-bit Backup and Restore on two different brand new PCs. After setting up a backup to a WD MyBook 500GB external USB hard drive and performing the initial backup succesfully, when it tries to do another backup I am
getting a "The media is write protected, (error code 0x80070013) " error. I have even tried to reformat the external drive with no luck in solving the problem. In doing some web searching I did come across someone with a similar problem running a Windows 7
beta last year that appeared to have be fixed by an beta update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Please try this:
1)
Click Start and type: diskmgmt.msc in Start Search box.
2)
Open Disk Management, right click on the external hard disk.
3)
Click Properties and click Policies.
4)
Check “Better performance”.
5)
Click OK.
Then backup again.
Resource:
When I tried to backup my files, I recieved an error
(0x80070013) saying that media is write protected

Synchronization Issue backup and restore errors

Hi,
I have implemented synchronization in local on two instances and worked well for me. But when I am trying to implement the same in Prod server, it is giving exception backup and restore errors. Please let me know, is it possible to implement Synchronization
on same server in two different instances ?
Thanks,
Moorthy

Hi Moorthy2015,
According to your description, you get issue when sychronizing SSAS database server. Right?
In Analysis Services, it is supported to do sychronization for SSAS databases between different instances on same server. We can also sychronize two different SSAS servers. So in this scenario, you can do sychronization between Pro server and Dev server.
Please refer to links below:
How to synchronize two SSAS Servers
Synchronization with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services
If you issue still persists, plesae share some detail information about the error.

Wilfred van der Heijden

Hello Wilfred,
thank you for bringing your concerns to us.
  The error code 2155348040 indicates BLB_E_BACKUP_TARGET_SPACE_NOT_ENOUGH which happens if the target volume size is not
sufficient to create a backup. In your case the total used space of source volume(s) could be greater than the space on the target volume.
So please check the free and used space on the source volumes and retry the backup with the target volume space greater than that total
space. We recommend the target volume size to be 1.5 times of the total size of all the source volumes for scheduled backups so that you
  can have sufficient number of backup versions stored.
If you are using Block Level Backup then one other possiblity could be that your source volume is fragmented causing the backup size to be
more than expected. If that is the case then retry the backup after defragmenting the source volume.
Thanks,

Windows vista, sync and restore errors. I give up.

I have had continuous problems with my 8gb ipod touch, 2nd gen. I just returned one which I had had for 4 months during which it worked, but then I could not get it to restore and now have a new one and have the same problem. When I first got the new one , it would not sync it had a number of errors such as;
- Attempting to copy to the disk 'X' ipod failed. An error occurred while writing to the device.
-The ipod 'X' iod cannot be synced an error occurred while writing to the device.
-Required disk cannot be found.
-Also something about Apple Mobile Device
So I uninstalled itunes and all related programs and then reinstalled them.
I managed to get a few songs on to the ipod but they were distorted and the album art became chequered.
I then tried to restore it and have had more errors such as:
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (6).
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (14).
I have done all the things specified such as:
-Restarting the computer,
-Reinstalling Itunes,
-Using differnt USB ports on the computer,
-Removing the firewall, Zone Alarm,
-Removing everything from itunes.
Is it due to an itunes update possibly around june, that I have started experiencing problems.
Will I be able to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I shall return it and not bother with an ipod again.
Many Thanks

I have exactly the same problem with my 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen and have tried everything you have with no success (see http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531624&tstart=0)
It's definitely due to the itunes 9.2 update in June. I get the same itunes restore and sync errors you have on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It only starts restoring and syncing properly on Windows XP. I've tried downgrading to an itunes version that worked for me on Vista before, but Apple have updated the ipod touch firmware so that its not supported anymore by the earlier versions of itunes.
Apple phone support is a waste of time. They want to charge me £25 before they are interested in helping as they say my ipod is out of warranty - but its not the ipod that's broken, its the poorly written ITUNES, so why shouldn't I get free support for itunes even though my IPOD, which is perfectly fine, is out of warranty?!
Truth is, now apple has your money, they don't care...

Windows 7 backup fails with Error Code 0x80070002

I am trying to back up my computer to 32 GB USB flashdrive and I get the error 0x80070002; the system cannot find the file specified.
I've checked the event logs and I see the error: Event 14, volsnap "The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure on volume C:."
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64x.

As it is a Windows 7 related question, it is recommended to post on Windows 7 forum instead of Windows Server forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w7itpro
In the meantime a check disk is worth to have a try. Also try to run the backup in off-time to free the system resource.

HT4623 my iphone update fail, and restore error code 4005, please tell me what should I do?

update ios7 fail,reminder saying need to restore, but fail also, error code is 4005.

If you have a phone with no Facetime, it can't ever be added. As you note, it is outlawed in several mideast countries. If you bought it in one of those, it is not an option for you.

Windows 7 Backup and Restore Program won't respond when I click on Back up Now or Change Settings.

The system rebooted when I was doing a backup to NAS. After it came back up it said I had 'canceled' the backup but now it won't respond to Back up Now or Change settings. It does respond to other options.

Hi,
You can attempt to run "sdclt.exe /configure" to start windows backup.
Thanks :)

Windows Server Essentials 2012 error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified

Running Windows Server 2012 Essentials with an external usb 3 drive as a backup device. Using a Vantec hx enclosure with a WD Red drive. Last night the Dashboard saw the drive with about half the 4TB available for backup. A.M., I get "error code:
2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified".
Going to the server desktop, I see a message indicating that the usb device malfunctioned. unplugging it, and plugging it back in, I now have it available via the dashboard.
This has happened a couple times with two different drives in Vantec hx enclosures.
A couple possibilities come to mind:
the enclosures may both be bad...
there is some problem with the system software and external usb drive.
Thoughts?
Suggestions for external enclosures?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot backup the Windows Server Essentials 2012 and got "error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified". You found the usb device malfunctioned.
Can you backup the server when you unplugged the usb device, and plugged it back in? If you can backup the server when you replug the usb device, you need to engage the vendor to resolve the hard drive issues.

Mandy

Backup and Restore - WSUS

Friends,
I will format a Windows Server 2008
server running WSUS 3.0, then
I will install Windows Server 2008
again and will install WSUS 3.0 again,
do not want to lose WSUS settings and
folders updates.
If I follow the procedure to do the full
backup and restore WSUS folder
in the new folder after reinstalling
WSUS, WSUS this function normally
as before?
I'll follow this tutorial.

I await response and thank you!

I will format a Windows Server 2008 server running WSUS 3.0, then I will install Windows Server 2008 again and will install WSUS 3.0 again , do not want to lose WSUS settings and folders updates.
Can you please elaborate more on what this means and/or why you're doing this?
Fundamentally reinstalling WSUS does not require a backup or restore operation -- unless you're planning on trashing the entire operating system installation -- which brings us back to the *WHY* question.
It sounds to me like you're exploring Disaster Recovery scenarios, and if so, I'd suggest that your proposed scenario is not optimal, and involves an excessive amount of unnecessary work.
More importantly, since you're choosing to do this on Windows Server 2008 (also perhaps worthy of a "Why?" question), you need to be acutely aware of the implications of doing a backup on such a server. In WS2008, backups are VOLUME-based only. Which means,
unless you plan to heavily customize the installation environment to separate the WSUS database and content store from the operating system volume, your backup is going to be a Full System Backup -- in which case, reinstalling WSUS would be pointless, as a
Full System Restore would get you the very same WSUS installation back.
Furthermore, customizing the environment by putting the WSUS database and content store on a separate volume means you don't even have to do a backup/restore at all. Format the C: drive, reinstall Windows Server 2008, reinstall the WSUS Role and point it
at the database and content store that still exists on the other volume.

Sankalp,
I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup. I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management. So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
diskpart
list disk

After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free. Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

Attempting to use "backup and Restore" giver error message

In November 2014 I backed up my PC ( see below ) onto a 2TB ecternal drive ( Lacie). This ok and can restore. Spare space 1.2TB
Now when I attempt to Backup again, using Windows Backup and restore, with same settings I get an error message :
"The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open" This appears after some time of activity. There is no mention of WHICH file causes the problem. I have repeated with different settings ie with
part backups only, or just one drive only.
The PC runs Windows 7 ( 64 bit) there is an SSD c: drive and a d: drive mostly data with some programs installed here.
I would very much appreciate some advice.

Hi and thank you Mandy.
After many failed attempts - even backing up a few files to test - I was getting nowwhere. Eventually I succeeded after disabling start menus and uninstalling some programs. I also disabled my Kaspersky anti-virus completely and disconnected
the internet!! This time the backup and system image appeared to be OK .
You have helped, Mandy, by identifying the anti-virus as a possible culprit!! Thank you. Next time I backup I will just
temporally disable it and see what happens.
Kind regards
Malcolm

Using Windows 7 Backup (with 3.0 TB drive) the backup fails with an error code of (0x8078002A)

I have tried for over a month to back up my laptop to a new external 3TB drive (DWC130). I have reformatted it, changed my windows backup settings, and read as much as I could about this issue and still have had no success. I have reformatted the drive; I have allowed Windows 7 (64-bit) to back up with its own settings; I have read forums all over and there has been no answer provided that solved this issue. I am hoping someone from Toshiba or this form can provide some direction.

Error code 0x8100002F and or error code 0x80070002 when you back up files in Windows 7
