Windows 7 Backup Error 0x8078002A

I upgraded my main computer to Windows 7 Home Premium which has a C drive (500 GB) and a Raid 5 SATA array (2.7 TB) on drive D:. I tried to backup the install as an image on the D: drive and I get the following error code 0x8078002A and a comment about an I/O error and one of the backup files could not be created.
I plugged in a USB external hard drive in and it works.
This computer is part of a gigabit switched home network (the main file server), so I tried to back up one of the home computers (running W7 Professional) through the network onto a shared folder on drive D: and I get the same error. The backup gets  27% of the way through on both computers and then fails.
I have updated the Raid driver (I had to as part of the W7 install).
Any ideas or solutions on this one?
Secondly, can I copy the backup off the USB drive onto the D: drive and have a reliable backup, or will that corrupt the backup?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
Identical experience.
I don't know if this is relevant but some external drives & Windows 7 x64 SP1 backup don't seem to work well together:
cf:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1780.windows-small-business-server-external-backup-drives-compatibility-list.aspx?PageIndex=9 which makes a list of other "failing" external drives with MS Windows products.
I use also an 'old' Iomega "Prestige" 1TB model LPHD-UP3 connected by USB3 to fast recent (end 2011) laptop with W7 SP1 x64 with all KBs (this Vaio laptop works like a dream).
Windows BU failed three times (I tried with & without external HD cache). So this looks like a lack lustre "Prestige" solution.
Yesterday, I just saved 100 GB of data from Laptop to this external drive (explorer copy/paste) and it went fine (64MB/s average throughput). I looked at the characterisics of this external drive with HD Tune Pro (smart etc.) and HD drive seemed OK.
Chckdsk /f /x ran on it with no problem found.
So, one would tend to infer that the internal drive in this external box is probably OK.
However, Iomega "added value" between the hard drive & my laptop (I mean the hardware component + Iomega software to run the usb3 to sata III interface) may be a technical disaster (product ref p/n 31922900 s/n GSAB136901) in this specific instance,
as I am not the only one who suffers damages due perhaps to this non-working product as a Windows backup external solution. 
I have also a similar Raidsonic ICY Box ib-273stu3-b external HD enclosure but I have lent it to a kid to restore his clugged & corrupted W7 OS on his laptop this week at his boarding school so I will try it next week with WS BU to circumvent
the issue. I know it works well with AHTI but I don't remember with WS BU. NB: I am not an immoderate fan of AHTI. It let me down at restore time twice on a complex config and I could recover thanks to another WS BU file ("belts & braces"
practice). However, here, I just mention it worked.
I have also another similar but heavier multi-purposes Icy Box IB-120CL-U3 that I could use for tests but I have to change desk & room and I feel lazy today. Next week hopefully.
After the first failure yesterday, I used Acronis True Image Home also for same OS full image to the network NAS. It took 2 hours last night on a 100 Mb/s ethernet connection for 60GB but at least it finished OK and this machine is protected if its
HD crashes (all user data is saved separately on the fly (real time) with Goodsync to a NAS in RAID1 + 6 periodic AHTI incremental images for "belt & braces").
As I am pig headed, I tried WS Backup again twice today. Same failures so I am satisfied the behaviour of this set is consistent!
I post error events logs & screen capture picture in appendix, hoping more knowledgeable people can do something with it or learn from the incident for themselves. 
Ideas to solve welcomed. 
Needless to repeat that Back-Ups can be CRITICAL for all of us, so failures to BU or to Restore are not be looked at lightly.

    Hi, 
    Please try to backup a small file the NAS to see if the issue still exist. In the meantime, try to see if you can backup the 41.4 GB on 930 GB internal drive to a local position.
    You could refer to the link below to see if the sector size of the NAS is larger than 512B that could cause the issue.

  • Windows 7 Backup Error 0x800703ee

     I have a Satellite A505-S69803 laptop running Window 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. The windows backup had been set on a schedule and until a couple of weeks ago worked find. But now when I try to backup files it keeps getting error code 0x800703EE. It runs about 46 percent of the backup after taking about 3 hours then stops running and gives the message, "The volume for a file has been externally altered such that the opened file is no longer valid" & error code: 0x800703ee/event ID:4104/locale ID:1033. What does this mean? How do I fix it?
                                                                                                                                        Thanks,

    I assume you are backing up to an external hard drive. Run chkdsk /r on that drive.
       Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors 
    ..after taking about 3 hours
    Did it take less time when the backup ran properly?

  • Windows 7 backup error code 0x81000019 (Backup Failure)

    Running "backup" failed with error code 0x81000019.
    After days of trouble shooting, I narrowed the problem to "com+ event system" service. It showed "started", I restarted it and backup worked. If I restart computer, I have to restart the service again for backup to work.
    A "TEMPORARY" solution is a desktop batch file that contains the following lines:    net stop /Y "COM+ Event system"                                                                     
    net start "COM+ Event System"  exit                                                                                                                                 
    (Run this batch file before doing a backup.)                                                          
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). I did a clean install which includes the system partition. No other problems, just this one.

    Hi BobK1110,
    Thanks for the post!
    What’s your error message when you got the error code 0x8100019? Please check this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/fce6950d-c06d-4dd0-a850-67022db4fe04
    Do you have the same error message?
    If so, this is a known issue, as a workaround, you can increase the system reserved partition size to 500MB.
    Meanwhile, thanks for sharing your solution on this issue, it could be beneficial for other community members.

  • Windows 7 Backup error code 0x81000039

    Hi Everyone,
    I was trying to perform a backup across our peer-peer network from a Windows 7 computer to an XP Pro computer.  The user has full access to the additional harddrive on the XP computer, but I get error code 0x81000039, remote share path not available.  I believe this was towards the end of the backup, but I was not watching it the full time.  Any suggestions?

          Hello Arthur,
    I would suspect it is a network issue too, but I tried this a total of 5 times, 3 of them resulting in the network error.  I do not remember what one of the errors was, but I know the other error was a “Only one image is allowed on this drive” type error.  At this point I tried one last time and it was after restarting both computers, logging in, waiting till both systems were idle, and then creating a new folder on the remote drive so that there would be no more, "Only one image" errors.  I had no problems creating the new folder, Jason7, on the remote drive.  This is the same network drive that I use to backup this computer when it had Vista on it.
    Unfortunately I am not physically located in the facilities so trying a crossover cable is a little more than difficult at this time. :)
    Just out of curiosity I tried it on two computers running Windows 7 RC here at my house.  I have the same network type setup and addressing as at the office.  I was able to successfully complete a backup from my laptop to my home desktop, so that was no help in figuring out this problem.
    It did actually put almost 19GB of zip files on the network backup location.  This happened all three times when I got the network error.  Also both computers have battery backup as well as the network switch, router, and modem so power kicking out would not have been the problem.  None of the UPS’s recorded any spikes, noise or anything.  It appears to be a problem at the end of the backup and whatever process it is doing near the end of the backup.
    I was able to upload the last three tries log files to Soudamini yesterday and today he said he would be getting back with me.
    Anything you can think of I can try remotely?
    Best regards,
    Frederick C. Frahm

  • Windows 7 backup error 0x81000037

    Try to do backup on Windows 7 machine to network share on SBS2008.
    Was working fine.
    Now, recieve this error emssage
    "The backup was not successful. The error is: Windows Backup failed while trying to read from the shadow copy on one of the volumes being backed up. Please check in the event logs for any relevant errors. (0x81000037)."
    Looked in event viewer and found this:
    "The backup operation that started at '‎2010‎-‎12‎-‎31T03:02:24.245000000Z' has failed with following error code '2155347999' (Windows Backup cannot find the shared protection point.). Please review the event details for a solution,
    and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved."
    Please advise how to solve?

    See the following troubleshooter:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455:
    Error code 0x81000037 If the reparse point points to a location that contains any compressed file format (multimedia files, .zip files, and so on), you receive an error message that resembles the following:
    0x81000037: Windows Backup failed while trying to read from the shadow copy on one of the volumes being backed up
    To work around this problem, remove this reparse point from the library, and then run the backup wizard again. To back up content for this reparse point, select the absolute path of this location from the Windows Backup configuration user interface.
    Note: This error may also occur if Microsoft Forefront Client Security reports
    a file as malware, and this file will be included in backups by Windows Backup. In this case, use Forefront Client Security to remove malware from your computer.
    Hope this helps.

    How to end this loop? please help. Thanks for considering my question ...

    Hello Ebttikar,
    Please try clean boot then test how the issue goes. Following are the detailed steps about clean boot:
    Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration Utility.
    On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box. (The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.)
    On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Click OK, Choose Don’t show this message again and then click Restart.
    Please check if RDP session issue is still the same.
    Please let me know the result.
    Best regards,

  • I/o device error when trying to use windows 7 backup to an external hard drive

    I have a Windows 7 operating system.  The computer was running very slowly so I used the systems diagnostics at startup and received short DST failed with a failure id of 6C2NXD-53Q713-XD002J-60RL03 for the hard disk test,  the start up test, the
    run-in test.  Each test showed memory test passed and smart check passed.  In researching the error it states that my hard drive is failing or perhaps some program is causing the error.  I tried removing some programs I thought may be the issue.
     Didn't work.
    I have tried using the Windows 7 backup but the backup reached about 67% then states backup not completed i/o device error.  I am trying to back up my files to a brand new Toshiba USB 3.0 & 2.0 external hard drive with 1.0 TB/To.
    I have gone to start then computer and it shows the device.  It also shows some files on it.  The backup fails when it it trying to do a system image as far as I can tell by reading the progress details.  The Toshiba device says that it is
    working fine and is already formatted to NTFS.   
    What else should I check or do?  My computer is also now popping up with a window telling me a backup is needed before the hard drive fails.  It pops up with this message at the same time I am trying to do the backup (the backup is already processing).
    Thank  you

    Hi,
    Have you performed a disk check on your PC? More details, please check here:
    How to Run Disk Check in Windows 7
    Regarding the i/o device error, have you received any specific error IDs like
    0x8007045D?
    In addition, please also take a verify to see if the external disk is Advanced Format Disks(Some types may not compatible with Windows 7):
    For example Run fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo f:
     to check the
    bytes per physical sector
    of the external disk drive.
    More information, please see:
    An update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Advanced Format Disks is available
    Hope this may help,
    Best regards
    Michael

  • Server 2008 R2 Windows Server Backup. "Error in backup of Hyper-V.vhd during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.

    Hello,
    We are currently using Windows Server Backup to backup three Hyper-V guests running on a Windows 2008 R2 host.  Two guests are running Server 2008 R2 and one is running Windows 7.  I have the backups going to a dedicated external disk drive.
    WSB backs up the two 2008 R2 Hyper-V guests just fine.  However, when attempting to backup the Windows 7 Hyper-V guest, I receive the following error:
    Error in backup of <Windows 7.vhd> during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.
    I ran a "vssadmin list writers" and all the VSS writers showed "Stable" with no errors.  I have plenty of space on the external drive as well.  I've read this article:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455?wa=wsignin1.0#workaroundissue12 except that doesn't seem to be what I'm experiencing here.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    As the other 2 guests could be backed up correctly, the issue should not be the Windows Server Backup feature.
    First please refer to this article:
    Backing Up and Restoring Virtual Machines
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405549(v=vs.85).aspx
    Please check if all following requirements are met. Specifically please check if Integration Service is installed. 
    Backup (volume snapshot) Integration Service is installed and running in the child VM. The service name is "Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor".
    Windows 2000:  Backup Integration Service is not supported.
    The child VM must be in the running state.
    The Snapshot File Location for the VM is set to be the same volume in the host operating system as the VHD files for the VM.
    All volumes in the child VM are basic disks and there are no dynamic disks.
    All disks in the child VM must use a file system that supports snapshots (for example, NTFS).
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

    I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
    FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
    I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
    FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings.  It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
    First some background.
     This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
    O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
     In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
    to FILE-SERVER.
    We routinely share four folders on what is now
    FILE-SERVER:
    \\FILE-SERVER\Backup
    - a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
    \\FILE-SERVER\Company
    - holds all our Company data
    \\FILE-SERVER\GEM
    - this is the application folder for our own database
    \\FILE-SERVER\Install
    - holds all Install files for the software we use
    These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
    Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine. 
    On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
    of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
    Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
     I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
     That proved relatively straight-forward.
    I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
    had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
    The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
    I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
    I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
    I ran chkdsk,
    I defragged the drive
    All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
    with and without a system image,
    reducing the backup to a single folder, 
    a single Folder with only one .txt file in it, 
    making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
    Nothing made any difference.
     In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
     Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
    \\FILESERVER.  In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
    Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
     So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too.  This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
    I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in: 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
    Method 1
    It had none of the symptoms reported in  
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455 
    but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway.  Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
    Method 2
    Check a drive for errors. 
    Looked at: 
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
    Checked
    both boxes.  I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started. 
    It didn’t seem to find anything. 
    I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally. 
    It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier. 
    Method 3
    Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
    I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event. 
    So I’m not sure what’s going on.
    HELP - I'm out of ideas!
    I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
    I cannot find a way of uploading it.

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

  • [Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

    Symptom One
    You attempt to
    schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
    The system cannot find the path specified.”
    Cause
    The issue may occur if there is
    no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
    Verify
    You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
    that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
    Solution
    You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
    vssadmin resize
    shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
    More Information
    Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
    Symptom Two
    When you add
    another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
    Cause
    The issue is due to the
    Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
    Verify
    You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
    Solution
    You need to attach
    Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
    Workaround
    To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
    WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
    The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
    Example:
    WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
    -addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

  • Backup failed for Windows 2008 R2 error code 2147755009 event id 19

    Hi Guys,
    I'm doing Windows server backup to a NAS drive via iSCSI target, and everything works fine until a few weeks back where my backup started to fail with the above event ID and error code. Description provided by Microsoft doesn't help either as it simply doesn't
    explain much at all. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734218%28v=ws.10%29.aspx)
    I updated the firmware of the NAS drive, make sure iSCSI connection wasn't dropping, and i even manage to do a backup manually via the "Backup Once" action. But when it comes to scheduled backup, it keeps on failing. I'm pretty sure the NAS drive
    is working fine as well as iSCSI connection since i can do a backup manually.
    Any idea guys?

    Hi,
    Could you please provide more detailed information about the error? You could refer to the article below to check if it helps:

  • Script Error Start-WBBackup (Windows Server Backup SnapIn)

    Hi, first of all, i hope that the post location will be the correct, and sorry for my english.
    I had this problem with a Script, i'm new in powershell, and hope that you can helpme.
    The objective of the script is make a SystemState Backup and send an Email. The fail is in the execution fo the Start-WBBackup cmd-let, the error is about the target of the backup, it says it is not valid, or something like that. Also, the error handling
    is not functioning.
    I let you the script, hope that you can tellme where is the error, and again, sorry for my english.
    Add-PSSnapIn windows.serverbackup
    $Equipo = $env:computername
    #Parametros Mail
    $smtp = "smtp.server"
    $from = "Backup User <[email protected]>"
    $to = "Alertas IT <[email protected]>"
    $body = "Backup SystemState para el equipo: $Equipo"
    $subject = "SystemState $Equipo"
    #Definir Ubicacion
    $backdir = "\\backup-server\share-name\"
    $backupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget -network $backdir
    $backuplog = "$backdir"+(Get-Date -f yyyyMMdd)+"_SystemState_$Equipo.log"
    #Definir Politica
    $policy = New-WBPolicy
    Add-WBSystemState -Policy $policy
    Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $backupLocation
    #Descomentar estas lineas para agregar carpetas/archivos
    #$files=new-WBFileSpec S:\IISRoot,c:\Inetpub
    #Add folders / source folders into the policy
    #Add-wbFileSpec -policy $policy -filespec $files
    write-host $policy
    #Ejecutar Backup
    $Error.Clear()
    Start-WBBackup -Policy $policy | Out-File "$backuplog"
    if($Error.Count -gt 0) {
    $subject = "(FALLO) " + $subject
    $body = $body + " ha fallado. Revisar log adjunto"}
    $Result = Get-WBSummary | Select LastBackupTime,LastBackupTarget,DetailedMessage | Format-List
    #Enviar Mail
    $body = $body + "`r`n" + $Result
    send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -From $from -To $to -Subject $subject -Body $body -Attachments $backuplog
    write-host $Result
    write-host "Backup Completado"
    NOTE: I build this, with some sources of web, and a touch of myself...

    Are you sure the target path exists?  I'm not having any problems with the code you've got except on Windows 2012 R2 more Policy parameters needed to be set.  The only way I was able to trigger an invalid path error was if the target folder didn't
    exist.  A target subfolder will not be created.
    I hope this post has helped!
