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:
Open regedit, navigate to the above registry key. (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList). Expand the list
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.
Starting from the 4<sup>th</sup> profile, the ProfileImagePath should contain path to the user profiles on your machine, such as C:\users\Christine
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)
First, export the ProfileList key for safekeeping. (Right click on the key, choose Export, and save it to the desktop.)
Right click on the profile in question, choose delete.
Try backup again.
