Hello.
I have just reinstalled Windows 7 for the third time and when I attempt to back-up my files get the following message:
'The backup application could not start due to an internal error.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service (0x80070424).'
Any suggestions please.
What are u backing up to/from -- DVD, external drive?
Hello webplodder,
Welcome to Seven Forums.
If you are using windows backup, Type services in the start menu search and click on services. Make sure windows backup service is not disabled.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gary, I have found Windows Back-Up and it is set to manual. What do I do now?
Manhunter, I was going to save to DVD's.
Manual is the default setting. It should turn itself on when required. I would suggest starting the service and see what happens before setting it to automatic. Make sure Remote Procedure Call is running. Windows Backup service is dependent on RPC. I am sure it is running; just trying to cover all bases.
^Yes, just checked and RPC is 'Started' as default.
The problem is when I click on 'set up backup' I get the message I mentioned in my first post.
^Are Windows backup and RPC now started in services ?
