I have a vista 64bit home premium Sony laptop, the automatic back up (scheduled weekly) fails and will not backup manually either, plus the system restore dos not function and after restart shows an error message and stays at its current restore point, can anyone help?

Do you have enough space for the backup?
Sounds like you did not devote enought space to the backup drive.

Do you defrag often?

Well i dont know much when its comes to backup, since i never do so.
but after reaing the error message, it seems that you deleted the previous backup files. try to start a full backup again.
Hope i was of any help.

Can you access the drive via Windows explorer?

Hello,
Try to launch the backup program from the command prompt.
1. Click on start and type cmd in the search field. Right click on cmd and ‘Run as Administrator’.
2. At the command prompt type sdclt /kickoffnew.
Hope this helps,
Captain

I had no idea fraggin the backup drive would erase everything, I will now get copies of my private files and folders on an external drive, but is there any way that I can get my backup and restore center to function again?

Its not broken, you may have lost the old points, but you can put new ones. Just do not defrag the backup.
