Backup Error code: 0x81000019

Well hot diggity dang, if that was not what I wanted to know in the first place!

Thanks.

:)

Wow, came here after failing to get Win7 Auto backup to work but after reading the above I have decided to get my security software to do the back up for me, a little more complicated than windows and I don't get the system image but I don't want to risk screwing up my computer again.

Any idea if MS is going to fix this issue in an update or the next service pack as I can imagine that most computers out there are not getting updated? There is no way I can comprehend half of what is said above, and to be honest, none of us should have to, this should be plug and play stuff.

Hi, everyone.
I have the same problem with backing up my system. It is giving me the same error code (Backup Error code: 0x81000019). However, my case is that I have more than 100MB free in my reserved partion. I thought of using the same method of troubleshooting suggested, but then I am not sure if the memory is my problem. Below is the screenshot of my disk management and the partition drive detail. What do u think, guys?

Hi Bare Foot Kid,

I followed the tutorial and still was denied access to F: I tried using the command prompt, but says 'cannot find drive path', even though I have unchecked the 'hide extension for known file types'. There is no Attributes option with the drive, unlike the case of folders. Am I doing it wrong?

Go to Control Panel>Folder Options>View to unhide Hidden and System Files. Post back the contents of F.

How did it get a letter? It is not supposed to have one, as it can allow programs to write to it incorrectly.

I did that but still cant view the contents

You have not unchecked the box to hide Protected Operating System files.

What appears when you click on F in Computer?

How about if you click on the partition in Disk Mgmt and select Explore?

Next install free Partition Wizard, rightclick on F to Explore with it. Post back screenshot.
