I am using Windows 7 Professional, backing up C:\ drive to an external hard drive. When I run the backup, I get this message: Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Documents. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)) Backup skipped backing up \\LAPDOG\Users\Yvonne\Documents\Church\Pastor Olin as it is not on local machine. The path is on a laptop in the home network. Why does the backup want to back up a file that has never been on the C:\ drive? How can I fix this? Many thanks.

This issue can be caused by a incompatible VSS writer that is from third party programs. I suggest you run the following command: vssadmin list writers > %userprofile%\desktop\vsswriters.txt Then open the file vsswriters.txt from Desktop, and try to find which writer has errors. You may be able to know which program created this writer according to the description. You may temporary remove that program and check the result.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
