Solved Backup will not complete (0x80070002))

[e11even]

I have had many failed attempts at backingup my pc and keep getting the following error message
"Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\Sean\Desktop\2013-01 (Jan). Error The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))"
Having carried out disk checks, defrags and registry repairs I am totally lost.
Help

Hello e11even, and welcome to Seven Forums.

That error means that the C:\Users\Sean\Desktop\2013-01 (Jan) folder you have included to be backed up no longer exists on your computer.

You should be able to use the Change settings option (step 4 in tutorial below) to setup your backup again without the missing folder being included anymore. Afterwards, you should be able to create backups without getting this error.

Hope this helps,

C:\Users\Sean\Desktop\2013-01 (Jan). Is that a file/folder/or even shortcut?

What scenario is relevant? I assume scenario 3?

Sorry for the delayed response.
