So lately, i've been unable to get backups to complete at all. The problem is that each time it seems to give me a different error code which doesn't make any sense to me, and googling for troubleshooting has been of no help so far. And I need Windows 7's own backup and restore to work, because it's so far the only one that's managed to save my bacon at a point when not even safe mode works.
So far, I've tried:
Running Scandisk on source and external drive(s)... always clean
Doing full antivirus scan. Nothing.
Doing a full scan with MalwareBytes and Spybot. Nothing.
I still keep getting backup failures.
One of the troubleshooting things was even talking about something called reparse points, but wouldn't explain what it was, what the search results were, and what the hell I was supposed to delete to make it work again.
I might have had a good handle on where to find solutions with Windows XP's event viewer, but absolutely nothing about Windows 7's event viewer makes any goddamn sense, and even when I am finally able to find the associated error message, it gives me absolutely no new information, or worse, less information than what the first error message says.
So how can I make this thing work again?
