Vista backup unsuccesful

The vista backup program was succesful for several months, but decided to
give up. After starting the backup an Error message returns that indicates a
missing MUI file it can not find, and the error code is 0x80073AFC. Who can
help with hints and tips how to go about it?

Re: Vista backup unsuccesful

Can you delete the existing backup in its current location and start a new
fresh backup?

Re: Vista backup unsuccesful

I deleted my last succesful backup and tried again.
Did not do the trick, error message was identical.
Who has any other smart ideas?

Re: Vista backup unsuccesful

Can you share how you are doing these backups; e.g. what is your backup
destination -- is it an external hard drive, or to DVD's, or where?

Re: Vista backup unsuccesful



Starting a fresh backup after deleting the old one does not solve the problem.
The bachup is made on a removable harddrive. I'm using the Vista backup
facility and the automatic schedule option to make these backups. Doing the
backup manually gives the same error.
