I am trying to run Vista PC backup. It stops after a few minutes with the
above message. Any help?

 

Have you tried Error Checking the drive? Rightclick a drive icon in
Explorer, Properties, tools tab. (needs a restart)

Rich
SUCCESS!!!!
Having suffered from exactly your problem and tried absolutely everything
that apears in these forums on the subject, I'm very pleased to report that
the second attempt to Repair Install Vista from the (Medion) Recovery Disc
worked fine AND I have now successfully run a backup! For information, the
second time, having finally managed to delete (from the FileRepository in
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore) the newer nVidia graphics drivers that
always crash my PC, I ran it with UAC active, Windows Features turned off
along with Virus & Spyware protection. It took about 2 hours (without Windows
Updates - I have that pleasure to come!), and so far, everything except the
Media Centre (and its remote control) seems to be working as expected.

Had same problem. Found this on Microsoft site and it worked for me.


File Backup

The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)


This problem is due to one or more profiles under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList with missing ProfileImagePath.



To check whether you have missing profiles:

1. Open regedit, navigate to the above registry key.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList). Expand the list



2. Click on each of the profiles listed. The first 3 profiles
should have ProfileImagePath value of

%SystemRoot%\System32\Config\SystemProfile,

%SystemRoot%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService, and

%SystemRoot%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService

respectively.



3. Starting from the 4th profile, the ProfileImagePath should
contain path to the user profiles on your machine, such as
C:\users\Christine



4. If one or more of the profile has no profile image, then you
have missing profiles.



To work around this, delete the profile in question (Caution: The
registry contains critical settings that are necessary for your system
to function properly. Take extra caution while making changes)



1. First, export the ProfileList key for safekeeping. (Right
click on the key, choose “Export”, and save it to the desktop.)

2. Right click on the profile in question, choose delete.

3. Try backup again.
