Backup complete HDD with Synctoy? Errors
Hello community,
I bought a new external HDD and decided to backup my HDD with Synctoy. It just finished and it had to copy about 300GB but it only did copy 290GB and got over 1000 errors. Are this things to worry about or is it normal? Because as long as it copys important files like documents and programs (which it also did) it's okay for me. But I wonder when I would do now a fresh reinstall of my system and copy everything which is on the backup back to the main hdd (also overwriting files) would I also have the registry and such back? Where is the registry located anyway? In which folder is it? I know that you can go into regedit and then export the registry but where is it located on the HDD? Because I was wondering if Synctoy copies it too or if it's blocked or something.
I found now out that some of the files which it didn't copy are in folders where some pop up comes when you try to enter them, saying that you need administration rights and when you click on "continue" then you can enter the folder. Is there any way to give the program rights so it can access every file? I tried running as administrator but it didn't work.
