It is copy my message on Backup – Windows and Windows Server forum. I got recommendation to move message to Windows 7 forum. I had the problem with file backup my Windows 7 (64). I can do system backup, but not file backup. Many people have the same problem ("Backup fails with only 0x80070002 and no further information" and a lot of message when you will do search by using Google). I did not find resolution not in Microsoft KB, not in MS forums. I found resolution step by step. And it is very simple and stupid resolution. You must assign drive letter to the small system-reserved partition (containing bcd)! And it is standard configuration of Windows 7 :-( The same solution you can find on this forum - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/53b7a2c4-33c3-4c0f-a6fd-715abe36f1f9 My suggestion: 1) MS Backup have bad design - backup should work in any conditions. I do not understand why backup need information about BCD for FILE backup (but all is OK with system backup). 2) MS Backup have bad error reporting. There aren't any clear information about error. Error log does not help me to resolve problem at all. 3) MS Backup was not tested on STANDARD windows 7 configuration with hidden system partition. I did think that it is possible in MS :-( 4) MS support did not recognize this problem. Clear description and resolution this problem was a year ago - - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/53b7a2c4-33c3-4c0f-a6fd-715abe36f1f9 Best regards Sergey Voropaev I
