| | How to delete listing for non-existent backup [cross posted performance-maintenance and general NG's] Since I made the last Complete PC Backup, I've had to reformat the external drive on which it was saved. Now, when I open Backup Status and Configuration and select Complete PC Backup, that backup is still listed even though it's not there: Last backup was successful Last successful backup 4/28/2007 Last backup location Data Backup (x) I would like to be able to clear that entry. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ |

You have the option to set it to none. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply. |

| | Re: How to delete listing for non-existent backup Not there in Vista, Terry. I suspect it's somewhere in the Registry. Only options under Tools are Folder Options. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ "Terry R." <F1ComNOSPAM@pobox.com> wrote in message news:%23eYqPxAuHHA.2028@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > On 6/26/2007 5:46 AM On a whim, Walter Blanchard pounded out on the > keyboard > >> [cross posted performance-maintenance and general NG's] >> >> Since I made the last Complete PC Backup, I've had to reformat the >> external drive on which it was saved.

| | Re: How to delete listing for non-existent backup No joy. I also searched for "Last successful backup" -- nothing. Hopefully, someone from MS will weigh in on this. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ "James Matthews" <jamesmatt18@gmail.com> wrote in message news:4B0ABEDD-32EC-46A0-9431-D0D92C975810@microsoft.com... > Search the registery for that date and see if there is something there! > > > -- > > http://www.goldwatches.com/watches.asp?Brand=39 > "Walter Blanchard" <Walter_B@community.nospam> wrote in message > news:74E87A41-6DD4-40B8-BF1E-52C5C7624A74@microsoft.com... >> [cross posted performance-maintenance and general NG's] >> >> Since I made the last Complete PC Backup, I've had to reformat the >> external drive on which it was saved.
