Windows 7: Backup & Restore, Missing Service?

DustyV · 09 Dec 2012

When I try to run Windows back up (not system restore) I get error 0x80070422. The error message reads something like “This service can not be started because it is either disabled or it has no enabled devices associated with it.” I looked around and found a list of services associated with Backup & Restore and their startup settings (manual/Automatic Etc.) I went through the list and everything is correct EXCEPT “Windows Backup” - “Manual” (manual is the setting not part of the name). There is no service with that name. All the other 5 are there and set correctly. What the heck can I do about a missing service? I really don’t need this grief <grin>.
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
Tnx,
Dusty

Hello Dusty, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You can use the tutorial below to restore the missing Windows Backup service to hopefully help afterwards.

Services - Restore Default Services in Windows 7

These are the services you need, and what they need to be set to:

Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) - "Manual"
Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider (SWPRV) - "Manual"
Remote Procedure Call (RPCSS) - "Automatic"
COM+ Event System (eventsystem) - "Manual" & "Automatic"
System Event Notification Service (sens) - "Automatic"
Windows Backup (SDRSVC) – “Manual”
