Vista - Vista Backup problem: Looking for backup devices

11-30-2008

Hello there,
I've created a Windows Complete PC Backup of my new laptop. Now a few days
later I want to actualize it, but when click on Back up computer in Backup
and Restore Center a window opens with message - Looking for backup devices
and it stays like that, nothing happens. I can cancel it but I want to
create a backup.
What should I do? Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Vladimir,

There's now a forum dedicated to Windows and Windows Server Backup related
questions. I would encourage you to post your queries there.
