Error 0x80070002 when attempting to backup files
Hi guys,
I've been trying to backup my system data partition for a while now and am always getting the same error as result:
"The system cannot fin the file specified" Error code: 0x80070002.
I looked up online and it seems like this
Error code 0x8100002F and or error code 0x80070002 when you back up files in Windows 7
would be the fix. But when following the steps to solve "scenario 3" (which I believe to be my case), I can't install the update "KB976972", which is claimed to solve the issue. I had previously asked for help here:
Update is not applicable to your computer
and NoelDP suggested I created a new thread explaining the problem. I have a Windows7-SP1 (x64) machine with 8GB of RAM. And yes, I am trying to backup the files to an external drive using an USB connection. Also, the system anti-virus is Avira (free). That's the first and only AV installed and there were no infections up to this point, as far as I know (it's a multiple users machine).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
