Default Backup in Vista Premium

Dave,

Sorry that I can't offer actual help but I've been running into the same
problem - albeit with a 0x80040206 error. I have my machine set up to do
weekly backups and each Monday morning I end up restarting my PC to recover
from the crash that occurred overnight.

Many thanks for replying. You would think Microsoft would have sorted this
out before launch

I haven't seen this error code reported yet. Can you email me a screenshot
of your Disk Management snap-in (showing disks and volumes) and zip and
email me the contents of Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup? My email address is
correct minus "online."

Default Backup in Vista Premium

To close this out, we have a workaround for the problem that DaveMc
reported. This is a known bug that we are trying to get fixed for SP1. The
workaround is:

1. Click Start, click Run, type sdclt.exe, and then click Enter. (If Run is
not on your Start menu, you can type “Run” in the Search box to find it.)
2. Click the Backup Files button on the left.
3. On the right side, click the Change Backup Settings button.
4. Go through the wizard, keeping all settings the way they are until you
reach the last page.
5. On the last page, check the checkbox named Create a new full backup now
in addition to saving settings.

Default Backup in Vista Premium

Hi Jill I am having the same problem when I try to run a backup. I have
tried the steps you outlined and I keep getting the error "File backup could
not save your automatic backup settings for the following reason: The
parameter is incorrect. (0X80070057) Pleas try again.
There is no check box and it says: Because this is your first backup,
Windows will create a new, full backup now. I select Save settings and start
backup then get the Same Windows Backup error box. I am on Vista Home
Premium Service Pack 1 version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 build 6001. I am
trying to backup to a external firewire/usb Maxtor terabyte drive.
Thanks
Mark

The backup feature leaves a LOT to be desired.
