I am a user of windows 10 and I am using the WD backup for a long time. but from the last week I tried a alot to perform backup on my PC but I am unable to do that.I have also checked Microsoft Support Canada to know about this.I have performed all the guidelines and also tried to contact with your technical department.So may I know any solution of this problem??
Delete the .schedule file for each backup. Most people probably have just one file to delete, but there is one .schedule file for each backup you have setup. Deleting this file will not delete your backup schedule, a new .schedule file will be created when you open the interface via the tray icon or starting the program.
i have been cursing WD all day today - wasted a day of my life. This fix worked - I just need to remember where to find this file in future.
Just remember that the App data file is typically now a hidden file in windows 10 so you need to view hidden files.
Windows Backup is ready to help with your backup needs. Your free Microsoft account comes with 5 GB of Microsoft storage (and more storage is available for purchase if you need it), and backing up your folders syncs the folders you specify to your OneDrive account, making them instantly accessible on all computers that you use with this Microsoft account. 6 And since they are synced to OneDrive, once you sign in to OneDrive on a new PC, those files will be available to you once again.
Hi, I just bought a Seagate HDD and I wanted to backup on dropbox. it has unlimited storage offer but when I connect, its stuck on 0%. Its 11am here and the backup should start 10:21am as activated. further it dont allow me to click BACKUP NOW. Whats the issue? Please help me find a solution.
Ok so finally it started auto backup yesterday where I did nothing. I think Dropbox takes time to make a pre -backup first. Once it estimated the total storage after more then 24 hours, then it started making the actual backup.

I run once the Microsoft
Create System Image
to get a point in time backup of the os. Restic is used to on a regular basis to backup user data. I dump the Registry to a file before the Restic backup. I assume that if the System Image can restore to a bootable system then the Windows updates will be available through the regular Windows update. This method would not be acceptable when a short restore time is required because downloading all of the updates from Microsoft would take a lot of time.
By not doing backup on some of the os or windows directories says a lot of time when doing backups of regular files. There is a lot of junk that microsoft puts into directories even if you do not use that products.
There are commercial products which can do a full backup. I am satisfied with Acronis True Image. I use two completely separate backup procedures using separate software because the disk will fail, it is only a matter of time.
Thank you everyone for the considerations. I also found this PS script to backup Windows using Restic, I asked the author if he thinks it can be used for my purpose but the reply is the same of the one of you all: no.
When you are running Gitea, if you start it from a terminal, have you tried running gitea dump in parallel? I just tried it locally and as far as I can see it created a proper backup, but I am not aware of your setup.
I think that is not the problem. Because when I shutdown the gitea webservice the backup runs. I think gitea has a file in use and look this file. I the evening I will try this on another machine, to find out the behavior.
As part of your recovery plan, a full backup should be at the top of your list since it is the best strategy against hardware failure, apps, upgrade problems, and malware attacks that can corrupt your files and damage your Windows 10 installation. If you are not proactively creating full backups, you will be putting at risk documents, priceless pictures, and configurations you have spent long hours setting up.
If you use Windows 10, you have many different methods to create a backup. For example, you can use third-party solutions to create a backup of the entire system, copy files to an external drive manually, or upload them to a cloud storage service like OneDrive. However, if you do not want to use manual methods or third-party tools, you can always create a full backup using the legacy built-in System Image Backup tool.
A system image is another way to say "full backup," as it contains a copy of everything on the computer, including the installation, settings, apps, and files. Usually, you will find this tool better suited to restore the entire system from critical hardware or software problems, such as hard drive failure or when trying to roll back to a previous version of Windows 10.
The system image tool allows you to create a full backup to an external drive or network-shared folder. However, it is best to use removable storage, which you can disconnect and store in a different physical location.
Quick note: The System Image Backup tool for Windows 10 is no longer a maintained feature, but you can still use it for the foreseeable future. The instructions outlined in this guide are meant to create a temporary full backup while the feature is still available. You can also read this guide with alternative ways to back up your computer.
If you are about to restore a device, do not interrupt the process, as it can cause the backup to fail, making it unbootable. It is always recommended to have the laptop connected to a power source and a desktop computer to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to avoid problems.
Although there are many other backup solutions, you still have many reasons to choose the System Image Backup tool. For example, when you do not have another solution and need a recovery plan, when you are about to upgrade to a new version or make system changes. Or when you are about to replace the main hard drive or need a quick way to transfer the installation and files without reinstallation.
One thing to keep in mind with this tool is that it is meant to recover the entire system, not individual files and settings. If you want to keep updated copies of your files, you should be using other solutions, such as OneDrive or File History. Also, you need to be proactive about creating backups because you can only recover the system with the files and settings until the last backup. Anything after the full backup won't be available during recovery.

Pretty much everything associated with it. Hyper-V has things everywhere. You will also need to back up where ever the actual VHDs are. I would also do a backup from within the VM as well. Also, i would have your first run done after hours. Exporting the VM also works well. Never used windows backup for a HyperV server, but there could be a good chance if the IO is to high, it could pause the VMs. In the future, I would look at another solution such as Acronis or Unitrends
As this is the entire Virtual server I assume that includes all data files on the harddrive?
Then if there is a problem I can then just restore the VM.
The host Win2016 Server can easily be setup again if that died.
Yeap that should have you covered. But you will only be able to restore Virtual Machines, and not the files inside them. That would have to be done in a different way. You can always test the backups by building another physical blank Hyper-V host, and restore the VMS into that one. And then make sure that the VMS turn on and have all the working roles that you need.
But what you can do is create seperate iSCSI targets, then have each VM backup to its own iSCSI drive, so that you can do file level backups from there. Then if you need to retrieve a single file, you will do the restore from inside the VM itself.
