Solved 0x80070002 error in Vista Backup Centre

I was trying to back up my files today and received the following error.

'The backup did not complete successfully.
An error occurred. The following information might help you resolve the error: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)'

I have looked at several forums about how to fix this error but none have helped. One post said that this was down to profile entries in the Registry without an image path.

So I looked at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

but i had no extra profiles that didn't have profile images.

Any other suggestions?!

Welcome
I do not have a problem backing up, but I chose to use Karens Replicator, since it is preferred on many counts. May I suggest that you give it a try and if you still want the Vista back up let us know. Karens is much easier and works great.
May I also suggest that you back up your entire Operating System, it will save you in emergency, it save me at least once.
Download the free Macrium Reflect and give it a try.
Let us know how you make out.

Like most things there is a learning curve, but I am glad that you are giving Karens a chance, I love it and in my opinion it is the best back up. See if this helps:

Since you are open to change, there is another, automatic back up, it is called drop box.
dropbox.com
It will automatically back up your stuff in the cloud. You can get your struff from any computer anywhere that you are.
