Backup utility does not find my backup hard drive
Please help!!!
When I try to backup computer using Backup and Restore, I get the message that "Windows cannot find backup devices on your computer. The requested system device cannot be found." However, I can see my backup drive in Internet Explorer, can open it, and can copy files to it. I also can back up files to it using the Backup and Restore. Why does my computer find my backup drive (external USB) when I try to back up files only using Backup and Restore, but cannot find the Drive if I use Backup up Computer in Backup and Restore? Please help! |

Please help! Can you backup with wbadmin.exe tool? Try running "wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:F: -include:c:" command from cmd.exe command line, assume your USB drive letter is F and your system drive letter is C. -- Michal Kawecki [Windows - Shell/User MVP] Warsaw, PL |
