Now only if they let users select what to backup, what not to backup...LOL instead of doing a blind backup, then maybe I'll consider using this.

Thanks for the link to that blog. I have just fallen foul of the 0x80070002 'System cannot find the file specified' bug in Backup. Googling shows I'm certainly not the only one.

It's over a year since Vista was released - can't quite believe that such major problems are still unfixed.

Had Error I/O (0X8007045D) and tried various suggestions mentioned. None worked on Dell XPS 410 . Found my answer on Dell Forum. Answer was to (Play with the DVD UDF Format. Put Bland DVD in drive, Then Start-Computer-Right Click DVD Drive- Format-UDF Formats. 2.01 is Vista Default, whicf my computer DVD was set for. I moved it to 2.05, which is supproted by Vista, but may not work with earlier operating systems. I then had my fist successful back-up since I have been trying.

Note: Before this I tried to shut system restore but that did not work for me. Hope it helps.

It's the Ox8007045D error message again. I have an earlier backup disk an the computer requested the earlier backup, as I seem to have lost the facility from my recovery folder. It was unable to complete the download, giving the above error message as the reason for failure. Any suggestions please?

Vista back-up has been working for 6 days now and 5 disks later? Is this normal? How much longer will it take? I feel hostage without my DVD player.

I recently successfully reinstalled Vista on my HP notebook. First, I backed up my data files to three DVDs using the Windows Backup Tool identified by HP. Now one of the three disks will not work. When I try the “advanced restore,” “different computer,” I get an error message (0x81000F2) saying “a valid backup does not exist at the specified location." If I read the disk contents in Windows Explorer, I see one directory “Paul-PC…” and three files (autorun, medial, and restore). Opening up levels of the directory takes me down through thirty-plus subdirectories, each ultimately opening to two or three “BASE” files (file-type WIM). I have tried to find a program that will open the WIM files, and have downloaded something called 7-zip. When I try that, Windows Media Player comes up. Then an error message says a special codec is probably needed to read the files. I believe my data files are still on Disk 2 and I need them. What must I do to get at them?

I also have the problem of a backup taking many disks and then failing. So what is the solution? Everyone here seems to have a similar problem but I don't see any solutions?If f anyone have an alternative backup method please let me know?
