    Files skipped during backup


    I run backup once a week. I have never had any trouble before. However, today upon completion, I get the message "The backup completed but some files were skipped."

    When I clicked on "View skipped files" this is what I got:

    Code:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\Mcx1-WINDOWS7DESKTOP\Contacts. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\Mcx1-WINDOWS7DESKTOP\Searches. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))
    So, 2 files that can't be found? Anybody know what I should do?

    Hello Bug!

    To me it doesn't look like something serious to be honest.
    I'd just ignore it unless you think you'll need it.

    Yeah, right. Backup is not finishing correctly and I'm supposed to ignore it?

    Could be some leftover file for something not supporting during the backup.
    Everything is possible.

    OK. So, how do I fix backup to where these files aren't looked for any longer and I quit getting the error message?

    This is the exceptions for backups:

    You can choose to back up individual folders, libraries, or drives in the backup settings.

    Thank you. It was set to "let Windows decide." When I set it to backup just the files/folders I wanted, everything worked just fine. :)
