I notice today that for my W7HP netbook, when selecting Customize Backup for it, I see in the "Select which items to back up" fully two EXTRA sets of volumes, namely:
SYSTEM RESERVED (offline)
PQSERVICE (offline)
SYSTEM RESERVED (offline)
PQSERVICE(offline)
Startup (C:\) (offline)
Startup (C:\) (offline)
and then I have one each of these that has no (offline) tag and which are checked for backup. BTW the netbook is an Acer, and the PQSERVICE has the built-in factory restore stuff therein.
I was looking at this because I'd gotten an error in Dashboard for this netbook:
"Cannot find the selected backup volume
Backup cannot find the volume (). To help ensure that backup is successful, make sure that all backup drives and volumes are connected to the computer during the backup."
I assume the above "offline" volumes need to be cleaned-out of there (where?) somehow, but I don't know where the Server is getting this erroneous volume information. Does anyone know???
I should note that this computer has been backing-up fine up until the 10th, then it was disconnected from the network for 2 days and this a.m. was the first oppty to try another backup (which failed as above).
