Problems with Vista backup program
wrote in message ... wrote in message ... wrote in message ... "David_2010" wrote in message news [snip] I'm running the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner on the same 64-bit machine as the task that's now reached 262 hours, with no usable checkpoints since 70 hours. When it finally finishes, I'll be able to apply the recent updates on that machine and reboot it.It's shown 0% progress since yesterday, still scanning mostly *.new files and the property files associated with them. Robert Miles After running 24 hours a day for a few days, the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner on the same 64-bit machine as the long-running task has reached 1% of the files scan. Shouldn't it be relabelled as possibly taking a few months to complete? The long-running task has now taken 285 hours; I've seen reports that for similar tasks other people ran, it often took over 300 CPU hours. Robert Miles The log-running task finally finished after about 320 hours. The Windows Live OneCare safety scanner reached 2%of the scan after another two days; no time to let it finish at that rate. Now have that machine disconnected from the internet, with all selectable features of the antivirus program turned off. Trying another new,full backup now. Could the change backup settings button and the button to turn off automatic backup be changed so that starting a new, full backup does not automatically turn on automatic backup, since the version with automatic backup turned on seems to have a limit of two DVD+RWs it can initialize, sometimes even less?

Robert Miles My guess is that something has seized control of the DVD drive and will not turn it loose even during a reboot. How can I check just what, so I might be able to kill that process? There's nothing running that I would expect to need a DVD drive. Robert Miles |

Problems with Vista backup program
Hello, Regarding the problem you are having with the backup feature, I can only suggest to contact the software provider. Now, if you don’t want to bother with a dual boot system (Vista/7) and others, you could use a 3rd party software that will do the job. In your case, you have Norton Internet Security, therefore you could buy an upgrade to Norton 360 which has backup features, such even online backup. (but also on external HDD and other kind of optical media…) I hope this can help. -- David_2010 David Norton Support For more information, please visit the Norton Support website http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/index.jsp or the Norton Community http://community.norton.com/ Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

The best I've read about Norton versions, Norton 360 is an older version which is not fully compatible with the Windows Mail portion of Vista, and I haven't found sufficient information about Windows Live Mail yet to be in any hurry to switch to it.
