Re: Strange behaviour in Complete PC Backup Vista Business



I guess I have chosen backup the entire computer which include two
partitions (one Windows Vista System and one hidden recovery
partition), it turns out to an endless loop to backup my hidden
recovery partition to DVD.
Thanks for all the advices.

the 9 disks you wrote?

Look at one of them in Windows Explorer (perhaps not the 9th one) and see if
you have the same problem I have at the moment - each DVD has only about
250mb of files stored on it!

For me this has only just started after months of unremarkable back-ups.

Want to do a complete PC backup for my newly purchased notebook,
however, i started to do the backup to dvd, it seems it never ended,
and kept prompt me to insert a blank disk.

I have two partitions in one single hard drive, drive c is the system
partition, drive d is the backup image of my notebook for recovery,
Control panel -> system and maintenance -> Back and restore center ->
Back up computer -> DVDRW Drive, it said it will take 4 to 7 dvds,
however, it still continued to prompt me to insert a blank disk after
the 9th dvd, then i stop manually,

Is it normal?
How can chase the backup log?
Should I skip the recovery disk from the backup?

thanks
