Performance :: Does Windows 7 Backup And Restore Work

Nov 23, 2015

I've noticed after upgrading Windows 7 to 10 that Backup and Restore (from 7) remains available in the Control Panel. The app appears to work, but I tried running a backup, including system image, on a friend's system and heard that it failed. I haven't looked at it yet, but wondered if perhaps this app doesn't work properly in Windows 10?

Performance :: Restore From Windows Image Backup?

Oct 29, 2015

I Created an image backup using Windows 10. I burned the repair CD. I booted from cd. Options are most recent backup [but it only shows D:, the factory backup partition]. No browse capability. Other option does not let me browse to the folder the system created, "F:WindowsImageBackup". How do I restore from this image instead of the factory image?

Performance :: Backup And Restore

Dec 25, 2015

Just bought a new Windows 10, Office 2016, Ultra HD Lenovo computer. Already having issues, surprise surprise! Not only are there scaling/blurry issues with some apps, but Windows Backup and Restore is displaying the following error:

The semaphore timeout period has expired.

I'm trying to backup to an external Seagate drive.

I've tried several fixes as I was previously having this issue too ([URL]), but nothing has worked.

Performance :: Use File History Or Win 7 Backup And Restore?

Nov 13, 2015

I've been using Backup & Restore on some Win 7 systems but now I have added a new Win 10 PC (from HP).

It's not entirely clear to me why I would use the Win 10 File History facility versus Win 7 Backup & Restore. File History looks like a partial backup. I'd prefer a full backup. Win 10 advertises creating a System Image but I don't consider that an alternative to a file backup with all the files (mine and the system's).

Performance :: Backup And Restore Local Group Policies?

Nov 18, 2015

Is there a way to backup and restore all local and group policies entered in Windows 10?

Is there a way to share local and group policy settings in Windows 10?

I searched for Powershell scripts that can be used to change local and group policies but could not find any .ps1 scripts.

What programming language can be used to change local and group policies in Windows 10 so that it would be easier to customize new installations?

Performance :: Recovery USB Media / Drive - Control Panel (Backup And Restore)

Feb 10, 2016

Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive - Control Panel ( Backup & Restore )

I have upgraded to Windows 10 from Widows 8.1 (pre-installed) , on my "ACER Aspire E1 472P- 6491" laptop by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer and successfully activated Windows 10 . I do not have a Windows (8.1 or 10) product key , as the Windows was pre-loaded on the laptop .

Now I want to make a " Windows10 Recovery Drive ", which can be used later to boot/re-instal Windows10 in case my Laptop fails to boot or to reset/troubleshoot any problems on Windows10 . Accordingly I tried to Create Factory Default Backup via Control Panel ( Backup & Restore ) option, but I found that it is meant for Windows 7 or 8.1 only ( which means that the system can be recovered back to Windows 7 or 8.1 only - not Windows 10 ) .

Why Backup & Restore is meant for Windows 7 only , when I have upgraded to Windows 10 already . In fact I have upgraded to Windows 10 from Widows 8.1 ( not Windows 7 ), then why it is taking me back to Windows 7 ? Can I not create a Recovery USB Media/Drive Backup for Windows10 for future use , after I have upgraded to Windows 10 ? If not , then how to make a Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive .

a) After upgradation to Windows 10 , why Control Panel ( Backup & Restore ) option is meant for Windows 7 ( or 8.1 ) recovery .

b) How to create Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive Backup that will work to boot/re-instal Windows10 in case my Laptop fails to boot in future .

Backup And Restore To Older Windows

Oct 16, 2015

I found out that since I replaced my motherboard, due to OEM, my win 10 license is no longer genuine.I contacted microsoft, and the guy told me to revert back to my old version of windows, which was 8.1. The problem, though, is that when I go to "Backup" under settings, it doesn't tell me that I can revert back to 8.1, but rather windows 7. The guy from Microsoft told me that he wouldn't revert himself, since he doesn't know what would happen.

I'm getting quite tired of not having the genuine windows 10, but I fear going back to 7, since I didn't own a genuine copy of that one too.So, should I try and revert, or is there another way for me to get back my genuine Win10 copy?

Installation :: Restore Windows From Data Backup?

Oct 21, 2015

So I managed to break my partition table, but I was able to recover my entire C: drive and copy every file and folder to an external drive. My question now becomes, is there anyway to, when I reinstall Windows, to restore from that backup (since it's just a data backup of files and folders, not a system image)? Would booting into linux (so that partition isn't in use by Windows) and simply copy-past-overwriting the old files effectively give me my system back?

Performance :: Windows Image Backup Failing

Feb 10, 2016

My wife's Samsung laptop gets a failure whenever trying to do an image backup. Actually, this has been happening for quite a while - even before she installed Windows 10 when she had W7. I was hoping that the problem would go away with W10 but it hasn't. Backup runs almost to the end and then fails with the attached message. The message says to run dskchk on both her drive and on the backup drive which I did. No problems were found. (I backup my desktop on that drive all the time with no problems.) I tried backing it up on another external drive that also tests good but got the same error message.

Performance :: Windows Update Removes Earlier Restore Points

Jan 30, 2016

Some earlier automatic Windows 10 updates removed all my earlier restore points and set the protection settings of the C: disk off.

The recent Windows 10 update (Jan 29) again removed all my earlier restore points. This time the protection setting of my C: disk was still on, but the settings of the disk space usage was set so low by the update that there was space only for one restore point (the critical update).

Performance :: Restore Does Not Indicate Correct Drive For Source Of Restore

Dec 16, 2015

I have recently had to re-install Windows 10 and had problems before so decided this time to do a clean install and then run the system image backup. This went well but when it came to the testing of the restore a problem arose. I was using the Repair Disc created after the system image backup completed and could not understand the source file indicated was not where I had put the backup.
The restore said the file was on the C: drive which was what I was trying to restore to.

Installation :: Installing Backup And Restore Later

Dec 23, 2015

If I make an acronis true image back up of her system now, then upgrade vidta to windows 7, then upgrade to windows 10, let it activate, then make another acronis true image backup.....then restore the vista backup.

will I then at some future date, possibly even after the ' free' windows 10 period expires, restore the windows 10 from the image I have ?

sounds bit complicated, but if I leave it too long the free windows 10 upgrade will end..

Lumia 730 Unable To Restore Backup Data From OneDrive?

Apr 22, 2015

Why is my Lumia 730 with Windows 10 Technical Preview unable to Restore backup data from OneDrive? Today I received an update from Windows Insider Program. Before installing it, I Backed up my phone data (Lumia Denim) to OneDrive. Then downloaded and installed the update, and now my phone is having Windows 10 Technical Preview. Although it was installed successfully, still I found some bug in the Flight Mode option . Flight Mode was ON and I couldn't turn it OFF. So I tried RESET MY PHONE.

While resetting my phone, it asked whether I would like to restore from the already Backed up data from OneDrive. I selected YES, but after successfully restoring data up to 20% the phone notified me that UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT. I repeated the process thrice with no solution. My phone is working phone, but I need the backed up data, mainly the contact list from the backed up data at OneDrive. How I could get my contact list back from back up without RESETTING THE PHONE. [No issues with my Internet connection]
