Backup User and System Files - Reset to Default Configuration

i did both reset thing and it no longer shows the space there, but still missing on my hard drive...you say delete the backups and like ive been saying i deleted them incorrectly and im gussing thats why i have the problem, i tried to unhid the folder but theres nothing there. so my way work, i cut and pasted my media that was in that drive, and brought it over to C drive, all remaining was that 32GB that seemed to wanna stay hidden or whatever, reformated drive. put back my media into that drive and probably solved.

The download button for Reset_Back_Up_Files.reg is not working.

I have not found a way to reset the Action Center for backups yet other than it being updated the next time that you do a backup. I'll keep looking into it and will update this tutorial and you if I find a way.

Are you guys talking about how to get rid of the red flag from the action center after you have rest the windows backup so default/not set up?

All I did was to open the action center (with the annoying red flag) and click on "do not show messages about Windows Backups" option.
The red flag went away & my end user was happy.
I figure that if we go back to using Windows backup in the future I can set the action center to start telling me messages about it again.

By the way - thank you for posting the solution to re-setting the backups - it was driving me crazy.

Hello.
I have several machines running windows 7 prof. I have configured all the backup to a shared folder on a server.I don't know what happens is that I can not manage the space in any machine and after selecting options to manage space are disabled. I don't know why it can make backup(\\server\security copies\usuxx) but it seems to lose backup location as you can see in this picture. How I can clean all traces of the copies on your computer to reconfigure the copy and start from scratch? Thanks.
